Doctor Who Question

What other sci-fi shows do you like besides Doctor Who?

I'm looking for show recommendations to keep me busy while Doctor Who is off the air for the rest of the year, any suggestions?

I have one guideline though:
* I'm 13, so shows like Torchwood probably aren't appropriate for me. In other words, keep it clean!

I'm on iTunes right now with $12. I just bought Merlin. I know it's been a while since I posted this but I looked through all of your recommendations again. :)

I also just bought the pilots for Farscape, Lost and Stargate SG-1. Once I get more money onto my iTunes account I'll think about Fringe and The X-Files. :)

Besides DW, I LOVE Lost!! ^_^ But that's as far as it goes.

I can definitely recommend Firefly and Farscape. The hell with "age-appropriateness!" If it's good it's good. And those are good.

Fringe

It has weird cases, science, parallel universe, great charcters,a love story, family issues. Great show. Only some gore elements everyonce in a while. And it has one of my favorite scenes ever

The Sarah Jane Adventures is all I can think of...
maybe Red Dwarf not sure if it's age appropriate but it's a lot cleaner than Torchwood so yeh...

I'm still very upset that Elisabeth passed away, she was great. And she was with the Doctor all she life, the fifth Doctor and the tenth!

I don't really watch any other science fiction show right now: nothing caught my attention.
But there are old shows like: Battlestar Galactica(2004), babylon 5, firefly and even stargate sg1 that are definitively worth a try if you don't know them already.

None! I hate Eureka, Terranova, Star Trek, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc..

You name it, I hate it.

Doctor Who is interesting to me because I actually understand what happens in it, unlike Harry Potter with it's spells and forever lasting books and movies. Plus Doctor Who is funny and educational. Plus plus, it keeps me interested with it's action scenes.

Harry Potter doesn't count as sci-fi…still…Wicca is scientific in someways and Harry Potter is like Wicca in someways…

I basically totally agree with you about the DW bit, but when it comes to insulting HP... just... don't. DON'T.

Ooohhh, lets see....

If you can catch miniseries that have aired prevously, I would strongly recommend: Tin Man (3 part tv miniseries), The Lost Room (3 part tv miniseries), and Alice (2 part tv miniseries).

Eureka is excellent, catch if from the beginning though, the character buildup is excellent.

Big Bang Theory, 30 minute sitcom, is humorous, quirky, cute, and entertaining. Not science fiction or fantasy but I truly love a group of nerds who honor all things Star Trek and Star Wars and everything else that I love.

Legend of the Seeker is very good. Based on a real book series.

Warehouse 13, very good.

Haven is very excellent. (Love Nathan and Duke, and now they've added Edge. Love my men...LOL! Based on Stephen King work but doesn't get into his really creepiness, like a toned down version of Xfiles but quirkiness is relegated to one town only.)

I simply loved Primeval. Science and dinosaurs and time travel.

Firefly I cannot recommend strongly enough. Captain Mal (well, I aim to misbehave...LOL) and Jayne are enough to keep anyone watching and Joss Whedon has such a great way of developing and creating characters and relationships that you fall in love with. Do not watch Serenity till you watch the Firefly series. Serenity is the closing chapter of Firefly.

If you can catch the first season of Teen Wolf on tv, that was truly good. (Mainly cause of a support character called Styles, he rocked!)

Guess I will stop for a moment. But, I could enthuse more if needed....

I tried out touch as it was on of the two programs mentioned here that I didn't reconize. Great conceptual science fiction! Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah, don't watch Torchwood, I shouldn't have. I suggest Babylon 5 and Startrek: TNG. Both are clean. :) If you're looking for books, I have a lot more ideas. :)

All I can think of is Penguins of Madagascar, that counts doesn't it? It's fiction and Kowalski can be scientific, so partly yes. I mostly watch crime shows other than that.

Lol, the square green things (as I call them) look like the cubes from Doctor Who season 7 some-what-episode. :)

I'm 12 and I just finished the last series of Torchwood recently, haha. IT'S AMAZING, and I personally don't see the problem with it, but I agree it CAN be a little... sometimes. If you want something a little more basic I suggest The Sarah Jane Adventures, Wizards vs Aliens, or.... urm... Merlin isn't really a sci fi show, but it's joint second with Torchwood on my list of favourite shows. (DW being number one, obviously.) Try them out :)
