So I can't remember the last time I have seen this on cable TV.
What other Sci-fi shows out there that were big back in the day that you can't ever find on cable? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RIP-Yataski: Battlestar Gallactica Buck Rogers OG Star Trek You mentioned V War of the Worlds (original series) I can find the OG star trek on H&I channel but the others toy have there is a good start. Why is that? I can find cheesy old time western shows all day long but not so much cheese scifi |

I always liked the anthology/short story type of shows. When I was a kid in the 80s/90s it seemed these were all in syndication but I haven't seen them in years. Here's a bunch I thought of right away:
Alfred Hitchcock Presents Amazing Stories Beyond Belief Night Gallery The Outer Limits Tales from the Crypt Tales from the Cryptkeeper Tales from the Darkside Oh, and also The Monkees I know you said cable but there are a ton of old shows on some of the lesser known streaming services, the kind with a lot of commercials. You can try the site/app Just Watch to search. |

There are so many shows and movies from the past that have seemingly disappeared. That's a shame since they were so much better than the crap on TV these days.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea popped up on whatever that old show channel the wife watches, I forgot just how hilarously bad early SciFi is.

Space Above and Beyond.
That was a decent series. "I'm the farthest man from home, I'm the farthest man from home" "It's as easy as eating pancakes" "Chiggy Von Baron" |

Streaming channels like Roku and Tubi have so many of these series. Outer Limits (original and the 90s version) are always on Roku. I think Netflix might even have several Star Trek series.
I have to rewatch Space 1999. That’s on multiple channels. |

The V mini-series doesn't hold up very well. The 19 episode regular TV series that followed is hot garbage on re-visiting.
I loved it when I was 7. If you liked it, don't re-watch it, just enjoy your fuzzy memories of it. |
