 The Best of Each Decade

·        Fifties: The Twilight Zone

·        Sixties: Star Trek

·        Seventies: Blake's 7

·        Eighties: Star Trek: The Next Generation

·        Nineties: The X-Files

·        Zeros: Battlestar Galactica

 

Notes: I rated The Twilight Zone fairly low since many of its episodes were more in the mystery, fantasy, or horror genres than science-fiction strictly speaking, which deals with speculation about effects of advanced (or alternative) science and technology on human beings (and the aliens they encounter).
