Re:What is Cult TV Sci Fi?
Great post Logan, I must’ve divined you from afar in the other thread. I thought almost exactly the same thing.
To an even further degree, I loved AbFab (s1-4, 5 kinda sucked) too, it’s one of my all time favorite BBC shows, but I certainly wouldn’t of applied it here.
As for who made up the list? I’d guess they handed around a memo in-house. Usually a lot of thought does not go into these lists as they tend to come up wildly varying “100 greatest TV shows” every few years.
The fact that Farscape was so high on the list almost confirms this, as Farscape is a HUGE favorite over at TVguide.com, they lobbied as hard as some of the internet groups to get it back on the air.
