Star Trek is 'most missed' series
Sci-fi series Star Trek is the show most people want to see returned to their TV screens, a survey has found. Originally broadcast in the US in 1966, it topped a poll of more than 1,000 viewers commissioned by UK interactive TV firm Home Media Networks.
Fantasy action series Buffy the Vampire Slayer was second, followed by long-running sitcom Friends.
Star Trek's latest spin-off TV series, Enterprise, was axed in February following poor ratings.
MOST MISSED TV SERIES 1. Star Trek 2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3. Friends 4. Fawlty Towers 5. Blake's 7 6. The X-Files 7. Babylon 5 8. Stargate 9. Seinfeld 10. The A-Team Source: Home Media Networks
Star Trek also spawned 10 movie spin-offs, the most recent being Nemesis in 2002.
Sitcom Fawlty Towers was the highest ranking UK show in the list, in fourth place.
Sci-fi shows featured heavily in the top 10, including UK series Blake's 7 and US shows Babylon 5 and Stargate.
Popular US sitcom Seinfeld, which spawned ongoing series Curb Your Enthusiasm, was in ninth place.

I love the original Star Trek, but all of the spin offs have missed what made the original so good.

I was a soph at NYU in 1966..the year the show first ran..it was on Friday nights...the frats at NYU all held "open houses"..on Friday nights..we'd get a keg and some chips, and you'd have thousands of girls descend on the Villiage looking to meet guys..Our house was always packed..but when Star Trek came on..we turned ON the TV in the house and everyone watched it for the hour..

I'd rather drink a cup of rancid buttermilk than watch Star Trek. What a terrible show.

Major - Why do we bother, Fawlty.
Fawlty - I wasn't aware that you did, Major.

what made the original so good was Captian Kirk.

PLEASE PLEASE bring back Star Trek! Preferably set in the time right after Enterprise, but anything is fine.

8. Stargate
Stargate SG-1 is still being produced. Season 10 kicks off January 6th on the Sci-Fi channel. Aside from Richard Dean Anderson leaving, Beau Bridges has joined the cast. Last year, Anderson made a couple of surprise visits, so I would expect the same again...

I think Eddie Murphy said it best about Star Trek and Kirk's alien liaisons, "If the b@tch is green, there's something wrong with the p---y."
