I'm not sure if its sad that I know of all the shows you've mentioned.
A sure sign of the times is the recent quote from JJ Abrams about his forthcoming Star Trek movie... where he used Star Wars as his influence since Star Wars was more action and Star Trek was more, well, talking. That said, probably the last great sci-fi show was Space: Above And Beyond. All it was was Combat! (an early 60s show about WWII), put in space with some very good casting. Not every show was perfect but there was certainly more than one gem for the season it lasted. And yeah, some of you are thinking "That can't be classic, its too new!". And then you realize that the show is thirteen years old. Jesus Christ, I remember seeing the commercials for it before it even aired. Other shows include The (original) Outer Limits and the super-silly Disney answer to Star Trek TNG - Earth Star Voyager. Jam it back in, in the dark.

If there was ever a movie where "ahead of its time" applied to, Silent Running was it. Its eco-friendly message pre-dated the recycling and earth-aware trends by about a decade. If the movie came out in 1981, it would've done *much* better.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
