There's a ton of good sci-fi shows, but the older ones like Star Trek and The Twilight Zone didn't have the kind of technology and gadgetry added in like they do today.
The result was to keep them interesting writers were forced to put more effort into dialogue and scripts. That's why I was not impressed with Star Trek: The Next Generation or the rest of them because so many of the plots were remakes of the original, only fancier.
Nothing beats the cold war Trek. No counselors on board, no PC crap, no huge moral dilemmas at every turn.
