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.

Does this ring a bell:

"If anything happens to them, I'm going to find whatever it is you love---your mother, your father, your dog...and kill it!"

That was a great show (till it went to Vegas).

However, somehow a bald-headed commander named Jean Luc Picard did nothing for me.

I agree. I can't stand Patrick Stewart.

Yep...I miss that one too! And, since we're talking, I really liked The Gale Storm Show also.

I thought the Vulcan babe was HOT!

Reed says to Tucker: "Don't you think she has a nice bum?"

Talk about a season finale! They just don't make quality TV like that anymore.
