The Greatest Sci-Fi Shows - Where is the 4400?
In my internet wanderings, I came across TVJab.com’s list of the Top Ten Sci-Fi Shows of All Time, and there’s a big, huge hole in their list.
Go ahead, read through and come back in a moment. I’ll wait.
Are you back? Good. There is no 4400 on the list. What The … ? I understand that when this list was built, the Fourth Season hadn’t started yet, but to place Heroes, a freshman show at the time on the list, and miss a show like the 4400 which was solidly about to start its fourth season, there Is something wrong. I really can’t disagree with most of the list, and this really isn’t a dig on Heroes, which is another show that I absolutely adore, but I really don’t understand why it is that the 4400 isn’t on the list. The fourth season had its ups and downs, but this list was put out before it, and considering the fan-base which is just about as involved and intense as anyone in the Jericho, Firefly, Babylon 5 or Star Trek fandoms, it really is upsetting that the show isn’t on the list.
So, in response, I’ll compile my own list. Now don’t get upset with me that the 4400 isn’t at number one, but the show definitely deserves to be in the top ten on my list.
- Star Trek (Original and TNG)
- Quantum Leap
- Stargate:SG1
- Farscape
- Lost
- The 4400
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Firefly
- Doctor Who
- Babylon 5

The 4400 should definitely have made the list. The level of creativity on that show is through the roof. Right along with “Supernatural”, another beyond fantastic and vastly underrated show of the Sci-Fi genre. *sighs*

I agree. The 4400 show is on 4 position on my own list.:)
