14. “Battlestar Galactica” (2004 – 2009)
In December of 2003, the then-dubbed SciFi Network ran a three-hour miniseries that re-imagined the science fiction hit of the ‘70s, “Battlestar Galactica.” Amidst some surprising controversy, mainly due to the gender change Starbuck, the initial pilot posted record breaking ratings for the small cable network, making it an obvious choice to turn into a weekly series, which premiered in late 2004. Headed by Ronald Moore, who cut his teeth on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Deep Space Nine,” “Battlestar Galactica” was a gritty realistic view of what life in space might actually be like, while also dealing with subjects in a brutally honest manner. It was science fiction for the masses, not the niche audience that loved the original, and as such ranked at the top of people’s favorites during its five-year run, which ended in March of 2009. — Alex Cook
