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.

I never even knew there was a Logan’s Run series. Of course, that was my first year in the Navy time, so I was busy with other things.

Alien Nation.

Started out pretty good, but when the male Alien detective got pregnant, I bailed.

““Buck Rodgers in the 21st Century”

U kidding me?? Well, not really. I only watched it as a kid just for ERIN GREY in her tight spandex suit. If I was frozen for 300 years and hadn’t got laid and saw her, I would have jumped her from cryo.

Tek War was not horrible.

Continuum has to be near the top of the worst Sci-fi shows ever. I don't think I made it through the first episode.

Very subjective. I find Space 1999 to be one of the best shows, albeit monstrously flawed in premise.
