   How in the WORLD did "Lost in Space" show up as a "Pioneer of   
   Television?"  It was the cheesiest SF show I've ever seen.  Trek was   
   probably the biggest contributor in this area, and the Zone was also a   
   big mover in pusing the boundaries, but B5 certainly rates a mention   
   well ahead of Lost in Space deserving one.     
      
   Stargate SG-1 should also have appeared on the list -- after all, they   
   went for TEN SEASONS (something no other SF show has EVER done) plus   
   two direct-to-DVD feature films, and SG1 fans are STILL asking for   
   more.  Even Trek TNG only went for something like seven seasons plus,   
   what, four movies?
