In the past decade or so, science fiction on television has seen a dramatic uptick in both quantity and quality. Shows like Westworld are keeping critics engaged and audiences coming back for more week after week, but while a number of sci-fi shows over the years have developed significant cult followings, others have become notorious examples of just how bad the genre can be when it isn’t executed effectively. Here’s our look at some of the worst sci-fi shows to ever hit the small-screen. For the record, we’re focusing specifically on live-action series only. So any infamous animated shows won’t be appearing below.

B5 was appointment viewing.
I regret Crusade which could have done well on it’s own was screwed up by the suits.
Yup, I never missed an episode. I also liked Star Trek *Enterprize* with Scott Bakula. I did not care for the *The Next Generation* shows.
I talked to her at a few Dragoncons (after panels mostly) for a few minutes and she seems like a very nice person.
In the last season of the original Star Trek you could tell they were writing scripts just to use the existing costumes and sets at Desilu Studios. Nazi planet, Roman planet, OK Corral planet...
Ed Norton of "The Honeymooners" liked that show. That's good enough for me.
If you really want live-action science fiction awfulness, there’s always “Far Out Space Nuts.” That was a Saturday morning kid show from Sid and Marty Krofft featuring Bob Denver and Chuck McCann as two astronauts that…get lost…in space. Imagine Gilligan and the Skipper in outer space. This was during the time Space: 1999 and Star Trek: The Animated Series was on and, even as kid, I though FOSN was unwatchable.
ROTFLMAO!
I went on a first date with a gal when I was 17, and she was the nicest, sweetest girl with a very, very fair complexion.
The double feature we saw was “Flesh Gordon” and “The Groove Tube”!
She kept slouching lower and lower in the seat, her pale white skin glowing red, and just when I thought she couldn’t possibly have been more embarrassed, that “public service ad” about venereal disease came on the screen.
We had a good laugh about that years later!
Yes, the starlost. Brilliant concept, horrible execution due to writing and budget. Harlan Ellison took his name off of it before the pilot ran.

My bad. Thanks for the correction! XD lol

The sound effects on Space 1999 were excellent.
Done on a Moog synthesizer, they added exactly the right element.

They also reused the original pilot episode by splicing and overlaying to make a totally new show.
Surprisingly, it was pretty good.
Indeed. AFAIAC, Lost in Space ranks as worst of the worst.
UFO had some ideas and the models. I liked SkyDiver the best.
The purple wigs I could have done without. Gabby Drake was always a plus.
I remember watching that episode of the Bionic Man.
As a little kid, I always had an extremely uneasy impression of Dr. Smith, beyond being an underhanded traitor. I realized later he came across to me a a creepy child molester. I have no idea what he was like in real life, but his role just reeked of it to me.
Babylon 5: progress through cooperation vs. progress through conflict.
Sliders and Quark

I think it has a lot to do with how old you were when you first saw it... I liked it! ;)
