Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn't count as lesser-known.

Counterpoint, amazing spy thriller Sci-Fi.

I was mad obsessed with Dollhouse and Fringe. It felt like both ended way too soon, but at the same time they didn't outstay their welcome as so many shows do.

Space: Above and Beyond. It was a short-lived show on FOX about a group of space marines that are pressed into service against an alien menace, but not everything is as it seems. The show was a a bit of a mashup between Aliens, Blade Runner, and Starship Troopers, and it was awesome. If there was ever a show that needed a remake, it's this one.

This sounds like a Warhammer 40k tv show by your description! I'm gonna have to check this one out and be disappointed when it ends far too early. :(

Firefly will never not be my favorite. Truly before its time... imagine how many seasons it would have run for if it were made today and on a different network...

Without a doubt, Doctor Who.

Probably doesn't count as 'lesser known' but my answer is Galaxy Quest

Farscape has been covered, so to bring up something that definitely hasn't been mentioned, Charlie Jade. A Canadian/South African co-production from the 2000s about three parallel Earth versions of Cape Town colliding. Awesome show, but I don't think I've ever met anyone who knows it.

They Live: John Carpenter's documentary about what yuppies and Republicans have been doing to America since 1980.

It would be Netflix's Lost in Space for me. Love that show. It's got such a well-written plot and great characters, I'm so sad that not many people have seen it. It's only three seasons too.
