We love the ’90s here at Giant Freakin Robot. We also love Sci-Fi and Binging TV shows.
So we brought the gang together and decided to choose some sci-fi TV shows that have the magic three decades later.
This is the Sci-Fi ’90s series that is still worth looking at.
The X-Files
One of the greatest phenomena of the ’90s, The X-Files has been revitalized and is even restarted, but the original run of the show still deserves to be discovered by new fans.
The series would become known for its grander alien Conspiracy but fans would come to love the individual adventures of special agents FBI Mulder and Scully as they crossed the country seeking the truths behind strange and untreated events.
Yes, the alien conspiracy finishes falling under his own narrative weight but that doesn’t disregard how great The X-Files is when he acts at his best, which is more often than not.
With enough chapters to scratch all supernatural and sci-fi itching you could dream, it’s still worth believing in The X-Files.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
The next generation could be the more beloved series but Trek Star hitting his pinnacle storytelling with Deep space nine.
Trading the franchise’s usual exploratory spacecraft for an orbital space station, Deep space nine Focus around the planet Bajor as she recoveres from a cruel fascist occupation by the planet Cardassia.
Station manager Benjamin Sisko is dissatisfied with taking office as a steward Federation before -outpost cardassian rotating Bajor.
When a fixed wet hole is found just outside Bajoran’s space, it starts a series that would dive deeper and darker than any previous TV film or TV series.
This did not sit well with many fans at the time as it seemed opposed to Trek Star Utopian ideas of the creator of Gene Rodenberry.
The series was controversial and difficult to embrace during its initial television run.
But, time has been too kind to Deep space nine.
Thanks to his complex moral characters and telling challenging stories — the most striking is still the seasons Dominion War arc – Deep space nine is now valued by new generations of fans.
There is no question in our minds Deep space nine Not great as the Sci-Fi ’90s series. It is the Trek Star Best A series of ever. If that doesn’t make it worth watching, what does it do?
Slider
Before Wonders A claim set to the multilateral, this cult TV show wacky fun universe alternate universe
For our money, Slider did it better.
Slider relates to a scientific Wunderkind that builds technology that allows him and his friends to visit parallel earths with reality completely different from their own.
However, they get stuck slipping from the world to the world and, perfectly Quantum jump Style, hoping the next jump – though, slide – is the one that brings them home.
The performances at Slider At the top (especially the leader of the Jerry O’Connell series), but the highlight of the show is her high flight concept.
Each episode is allowed to play with “what if?” Sci-Fi scenarios, and you can tell how much fun the series was to do while watching it.
From deep history alternately to a dear Schlock, these chapters have a little of everything.
If you like surprises when telling stories, you are sure to love SliderA show where anything could happen (and often happen).
Bebop Cowboy
When it comes to the largest anime series ever, you will be pressure to find Bebop Cowboy outside that conversation.
This iconic animated series relates to Spike Spiegel and his partner Jet Black, two Bounty Hunter who will take on almost any job if the price is right.
However, their wallets are threatened by spirits from the past as well as new members of the equally beautifully deranged crew as the bad guys they help give away.
It is impossible to choose the best part of Bebop CowboyBut I know our head, we would have to go with the music.
Courtesy of Yoko Kano, this series pulled out one jazzy reef after another, creating the best anime soundtrack ever. Is even arguing?
Murder animation, colorful characters, wild adventures, you’ll get all and more once you get on board the Bebop and sail out to the stars.
See you later, cowboy space.
Stargate SG-1
No one would have guessed 1994 Stargate ultimately create one of the largest sci-fi privileges of the TV, but thanks to success Stargate SG-1 Just 3 years later, that’s exactly what happened.
Following Stargate Command’s troops and scientists, the series went far beyond the film to create a whole universe filled with ancient mysteries, warlike civilizations, and legends coming to life.
Though not as famous as the crew Star Enterprise, each character is a person’s favorite, and they are given chapters to shine, from the “Opportunity window” that loops time to the “100.” Full of fun.
In a righteous world, Stargate SG-1 He would be as famous and beloved as Star Trek and Star Wars; Instead, he will have to settle for being one of the best ever sci-fi shows.
Babylon 5
For sci-fi fans, there has been nothing like Babylon 5Even if it could appear to share a story-centered-centered with the best Star Trek series.
Babylon 5’s space station sits in the midst of intergalactic politics, filling the show with political conspiracy, physics-based spacecraft, and excellent characters still exposed today as some of the best in sci-fi.
Londo, Sheridan, Neroon, Delenn, and other enough show how great Babylon 5 is for focusing on advanced characters without sacrificing the sci-fi/more action picture.
Babylon 5 Tells a complete story, from start to finish, and even the weakest chapters have important scenes and plot beats that push the story forward.
Watch out for yourself and decide if you will be joining the camp that feels Babylon 5 is the Superior ’90s sci-fi space station series.
Space: above and beyond
For one glorious season, Space: above and beyond Bringing military sci-fi to television by making it dirty, polite, and showing how fighting forever changes even the strongest troops.
The wildcards squadron, originally acting as the back of the earth, finds themselves fighting on the front line of the war against the insect cigs.
No other series of the 90s treated open warfare as well as Space: above and beyond.
He also challenged authority by showing how far the good men would go to win war.
Underachievement and ignoring, Space: above and beyond The time was never given to find an audience.
If you want sci-fi of the age, that’s a little different, a little darker, and a little more provocative, it’s the forgotten series for you.
Barscape
Guardians of the galaxy This late 90s sci-fi series is debt. See if this sounds familiar.
A bunch of odd wrongdoing must not work together to survive at the edge of the galaxy.
And only one human happens to be very important because of a secret that is locked inside his head.
Hmm.
Admittedly, Barscape Taking a season to go, but by the time 2 season rolls around, it’s Roller Roller Bonkers with the Sensory Ship Moya crew trying to stay one step ahead of the Socorpius sociopath covered with leather and peace rangers.
Barscape Certainly bordering on Star Trek in terms of Looney plots, but it takes other major creative swings worth celebrating.
For example, the decision to use Jim Henson’s workshop to create puppets as focal characters throughout the show.
Barscape Strangely. It’s not going to click for everyone.
But if you are a sci-fi fan who also enjoys dark comedy And welcoming absurdity in your space shows, we can’t recommend it hard enough.
Futurama
Looking for a bright example of how an adult animated humor The Simpsons Can a lovely cross section with Philip K. Dick-Style Worldbuilding in a comedy series? Then look no further than Futurama.
Futurama focuses on Phillip J. Fry, and pizza A distribution boy who wakes up 1,000 years in the future after accidentally trapping himself in a cryogenic pod.
In the year 3,000, he scores a new job working for Planet Express, an intergalactic distribution company owned by a crazy Senile scientist and staffed by captain Cyclops, an alcohol -fired robot with Penchant for fine mischief, a bureaucrat by books, a buggler.
The series goes hard with its brand of absurd comedy, using well-established sci-fi ropes as a vehicle for its brainy sense of humor.
Mind exchanges, deliberately turbulent time loops, fraud of the parallel universe, those dreadful alien lords of Persei Omicron 8, Futurama’s World building technology and in the universe are amazing, funny, and heartfelt.
Equal parts intelligent and idiotic, Futurama Not just a top-tier sci-fi comedy, here are some of the best sci-fi TV, a period.
Nightmare
If you have ever thought about committing crimes near a jazz club, Evening man is the waking call you need because the man is torn on the saxophone during the day exploding bad guys after hours.
When jazz musician Johnny Domino is struck by lightning, he develops the inherent ability to hear bad thoughts that keep him awake at night.
Giving Bulletproof Bodysuit and calling himself a night man, Johnny has no necessity any other powers, but his new yarn allows him to challenge gravitational laws, camouflage himself with holographic technology, and see in the dark in firing lasers in the evildoers that occupy the mean streets of San Francisco.
Is celebrated for its low budget charm and commitment to the passage, Evening man plays out as a bargain bin Batman With enough smooth jazz to set the tone, but it holds itself thanks to the physical and charisma that Matt McColm brings to the character.
Cheese but sincere, and with plenty of delicious licking to keep your ears up throughout its run, Evening man Must be seen to sci-fi fans looking for something a little left to middle without skimping on the action.
We would love to ask the It’s always sunny in Philadelphia Folks if Mac has never seen this.
Eerie Indiana

Eerie, Indiana Walking the line between eerie and Champy, and his stories telling is insightful enough to keep with you for days without weighing too much on your conscience.
It’s fun for the whole family if you’re looking for a healthy scare that doesn’t change life for the children.
