Yeah, I'm officially done with Syfy after the Magicians being abruptly cancelled midway through the season, thankfully still OKAY as a series finale; they'd burnt me enough with Eureka, and I still fell for it a couple times over, Deadly Class and Happ! hurt. Now I'm not getting interested in their shows until I see a full and proper run.
Well, it wouldn't be mojo if they didn't come close to almost missing the mark.....Or being completely nowhere in the vicinity of hitting the actual mark/target!
12 Monkeys and Battlestar Galactica always get my vote, but I would say for me 12 Monkeys has to be the best TV show I've ever had the pleasure to watch. I really want to see the final season though but it's not yet available on any streaming service here in the UK.
Facts such a good mini series and I forgot what the name of the Syfy show with the artifacts but it's based off of the mini series after they didn't do a part 2
@@fahimauric4663 Nope. It wasn't cancelled because of it's ratings, they were quite solid. It was cancelled, because even though SyFy aired it, the channel didn't own the rights to the show. I am still annoyed that SyFy decided to end it on a cliffhanger. By now it's actually too late to save the show, because the main actors have moved on. Melissa O'Neil (Two) for example plays Lucy Chen in Rookie.
The Expanse is my number 1. I love the concept of show and how real that the characters are. What I liked about the Bobbie character was she was not some paper thin woman playing a badass, she is badass playing one. The .made her a believable Gunny. Amos had no moral center and looked to Naomi to be his compass. The way the actor plays him is artistic.
While I am starting to watch that show now I have to say that my favorite is The 100. Next Wednesday is the last episode too. Sad. Very sad to see it go. That show could have grown a lot more. But the Expanse IS definitely looking very realistic especially with the terrorist attack in space and them having to escape being captured. I think I've seen 2 or 3 episodes so far but I definitely wanna see the rest. Looks pretty cool.
@@littleshepherdfarm2128 The 100 started off good, but by the end of season 2 it became quite weak. In my oppinion it went downhill from there, it became too much of a cliche of itself. Also it's not a SyFy show, but a CW one.
I love the battle scenes but the Stargate itself looks cheep, I'm sure they could have come up with a better special effect than a swimming pool turned on its side🙄
Pretty sure Sliders was like Firefly in that it aired on FOX before SyFy, thus not an original SyFy production. Firefly would have rated on this list as well if not for that fact.
Sliders got kind of annoying towards the last couple seasons. They hot rid of the original girl, got the professor replaced with one from a different dimension who was a hippie (LOL too funny), and some of the stuff that happened made me go WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY DOING???!!! 🤣
@@davidkugel SG1 was excellent yes, but SG Atlantis I thought was a better put together show with a singular goal instead of multiples like SG1. But...the original always seems to be better because its...well...original. However, much of SG Atlantis is actually based on historical fact, including the shape of the Atlantis stronghold, the fact that it sank, the idea of advanced technologies, and even the idea of a spiritual awakening to ascend into the spirit world (which is very common today but in a different form).
@@annanicolas1642 I watched both and I liked the American version better. That may be because I watched the American version first, but I think they are pretty comparable in quality.
I watched the us version and browse through UK version. I can't digest the fact that they kill the three main characters in UK version eventually giving up on the show.
It has to be Battlestar Galactica at No. 1. It's such a well-made show. One of my favorite TV shows of all time. A straight-up classic. Anders: Among bright stars, I'm lost.
Ikr... I actually like it quite a bit. The fact that they don't focus every minute of every episode on Vanessa is nice. The character growth in that show is actually pretty impressive when you consider the vampire apocalypse narrative.
Love Eureka and Warehouse 13 also Haven and one not on the list on sure was on SyFy....Lost Girl,either way these are my faves,couldn't get into the other shows.
I was personally holding out for Dominion. A full-scale war between humans and heaven, plot twists, betrayals and plenty of Acton. .. not to mention not getting renewed after season two left a cliffhanger hinting at the biggest villain in biblical history making an appearance.
THANK YOU ~ I said the same thing. They thought that one show ended on a cliff hanger? As you know Dominion got robbed and was left on such a note that you needed closer. And it didnt even get canceled for a good reason it got canceled because of ' economics' when its 2nd season was the best thus far and fans wanted more.
Kinda sad that lost girl and Helix didn't make it on the list. Dark matter was amazing, sad that SIFI decided to cancel it. Magicians is/was an amazing show.
Yes, Dark Matter is AMAZING! As soon as I saw part if the first season and found out it had 3 seasons on iTunes I bought all 3 seasons! Until about 6 months ago I was expecting another season to come out because of the way it ended. But that's what they seem to do to every good show...they get in extremely deep and then leave you hanging when it's just starting to get your attention! The film makers seem to do that with every good show out there. Theres only a handful that I've seen recently that they actually finished and the ones they did finish tend to leave you desiring something more...like they left something on the table that should have been included, like the way they ended Beauty and The Beast with Kristen Kreuk! They knew they were running out of money so they crammed it all in at the end and left out a few pieces that would have made the show a much better master piece of an ending than the one they left us with.
Sci-Fi was way better than Syfy they actually showed scary shows and movies back in the day, when they changed the name I swear they stopped showing scary stuff 💯
They've really gone down hill the past couple years. A lot of there movies are not even science fiction. And how many times can they show re-runs of Futurama ?
Was where I saw bone snatchers which still scares the shit out of me to this day - a bunch of ants skinning and eating you while you sleep and taking your bones yikes
Sci-Fi > SyFy by a loooooong shot. I remember they used to show MST3K, Farscape, the old Star Trek animated series, and the Star Wars "Droids" and "Ewoks" cartoons, which I loved. And then they used to show the original Star Wars trilogy with the "Making of" featurettes for each.
Killjoys got better with every season, especially how the lead woman's acting abilities increased. She wasn't quite good in the first season, but got decent later on. The show itself was interesting.
BSG is life. I am so happy it was number one. It's a show that you have to suffer through the first season but after that it has the best story I've ever seen in a syfy show. Its the only tv show I've ever bought every blue ray for and the movies.
Battlestar Galactica is one of my favorite shows of all time. I haven't watched it in a while but just started re-watching it under quarantine. I was afraid the show might have not aged well but so far it's as great and thrilling as I remember it. I'll have to repost once I finish it again.
I loved EVERY SINGLE ONE on this list. Many were cut short, still much to tell, not enough people who wanted to watch the level of Sci-Fi when they were introduced (I'm looking at you, Dresden Files).
Should have been number 1 IMO. That show had the best long term plot of any show on this list. Was also innovative in a lot of ways. The only serious sci-fi show to have an episode entirely animated. Seriously, imagine watching star trek and suddenly an episode is a cartoon, Farscape did that. Also Lexx was cool, i had forgotten about that, it was fun and campy.
@@pacifistattack season 3 and 4 of Star trek TOS was animated and season 5 was released on vinyl with the sleeve also being the cover to a comic you read while you listened to the record. They even had a ridiculous arc in season 3 or 4 where the enterprise was underwater on some giant water planet. So yeah I can Imagine Star Trek doing an animated episode. And just FYI the animated and audio play seasons are a continuation of the series with the original cast and used the remaining scripts for the TV show or at least until those ran out.
I know. I was getting excited thinking it may be the number one and then they say Battlestar Galactica. Like the hell with that show. Sliders and alternate dimensions of earth was awesome and it's last 2 seasons were on scifi or syfy.
Back to soviets time there was three types of...movies that was shown on USSR TV: serials, equal to regular TV shows, serial movies, which was a multiple full-lenght movies with direct chronological links, that can be combined in one huge seamless movie. And there was regular movies 1,5-2 hours long. So, im more like to treat 10th kingdom as serial movie for it's full-lenght episodes.
I love the Syfy channel. I have seen most of these shows and it always stings when they are cancelled to soon. Sad Killjoys did not make the list since it was aired back to back with Dark Matter and had similar ratings. Z Nation started out as a spoof of the Walking Dead but I would say it evolved past that and became a more engaging show, and was actually given a satisfying ending.
I was going to complain about not seeing "Sliders" on this list … but I forgot that it started out on FOX, and was only a shred of its former self by the time it moved to (what was then) Sci Fi.
Yea, none of the "reality" shows that aired on SyFy at one time or another made the list. Shows like: Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, Scare Tactics, and Face Off where my main reasons for tuning in to SyFy for the most part. In fact, the only title on this list that I actively tuned into regularly that wasn't a reality show was Being Human.
I can't believe Channel Zero wasn't on this list. In terms of production design, it was the best Syfy show by a mile. Best horror television show ever created.
I watched this whole video, resisting the urge to skip ahead to see number one, but waiting and honestly believing that Battlestar Galactica would somehow not claim that honor. I was pleasantly surprised!
Spot on with 12 Monkeys. What a great series👍 I wasn't impressed with Alphas. I still need to watch a couple of episodes of Defiance to decide if it's good for me.
@couldn't think of a username You're halfway through season four? Oh my sweet summer child. Push through. It gets both much better and immeasurably worse (emotionally, not qualitywise).
The magicians was such an amazing show I absolutely loved it. Also I found Stargate Atlantis to be more interesting than the original.... Plus it had Jason Mamoa
Yeah both dark matter and killjoys came out in 2015. I watched both and was sad to see dark matter get canceled, but if I had to choose I did enjoy kill joys more.
BSG, SG and SG:A must be in top-5 for objective reasons. Especially Battlestar Galactica. Its both sci-fi with sci-fi pseudo scientific...things and very humane long-term drama where everyone is gonna find something personal. And the ending of BSG is an undeniable masterpiece.
Oh man so many great shows, thanks for making me remember....and thanks for making me remember about all the cancellations too :( (looking at you Alphas, Sanctuary, Dark Matter, SG:U, Defiance...) Suprised to see Alphas so far down the list. I loved Haven, but I do admit its quality was all over the place and not for everyone. But its mystery and premise had me hooked AF. (Especially dat 3rd season) Ooooh The Lost Room...dont remember at all what it was about (other than a special room obviously), but I do remember really liking it. I kinda did enjoy Helix. I should give Being Human, Farscape and Eureka a go.
What's your favorite Syfy channel show ever?
Love your channel😍
Wtf how does this say 2days ago if the video was just posted?!
Tripping the rifttttttttt so funny
Stargate SG-1!! ❤️
Mine is Paranormal Witness and I love your channel😍😍❤️
Hey, Stargate: Atlantis getting the respect it deserves. That’s what’s up.
GREAT show! NEVER saw the last 2 seasons, got pulled off TV here @ the end of S3, never saw the rest of it! (Same goes for BSG!)
@@DMSProduktions why don't you just watch the rest online ?
@@CaptainChrom Umm a little thing called BANDWIDTH! (I don't have it!)
Syfy has so many good shows, yet they keep canceling them.
At least they last longer than they would have on FOX.

Yeah, I'm officially done with Syfy after the Magicians being abruptly cancelled midway through the season, thankfully still OKAY as a series finale; they'd burnt me enough with Eureka, and I still fell for it a couple times over, Deadly Class and Happ! hurt. Now I'm not getting interested in their shows until I see a full and proper run.
@@RagnarokMic Eureka had five seasons, for what it was that was actually impressive. That show ended right on time.

Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.
The expanse was easily one of the top 5 shows scy fi ever put out
The First Wave was the best. All these others SUCKED (from 976-CREOLEMAN)!
Sometimes, it feels like *NOONE* remembers Eureka.

@@Kahli21 amazon prime in the US
Eureka was my Quarantine Binge show. Hadn't seen it since it aired, still love it.
Loved Eureka, feel like people don't remember it exists anymore.
I vaguely remember the name🤔. What was it about?
Helix is not only missing from the list, but can’t even get a honorable mention. Definitely dropped the ball on that one.

After watching Battlestar Galactica I now shout "CYLON!" every time I see one of the actors/actresses in other shows and movies.
Battle Star Galactica is the absolute best ever. I think the title turns people off. Trust me its worth seeing.
I agree the show is brilliant! Although, some might say it seems to lose a bit of steam towards the end of its run.
I love the show, as long as I act like the ending doesn't exist lmao.
The first few seasons the last one was garbage everyone was a cylon
The Expanse is my number 1. I love the concept of show and how real that the characters are. What I liked about the Bobbie character was she was not some paper thin woman playing a badass, she is badass playing one. The .made her a believable Gunny.

Watch the expanse
A breath of fresh air for sci fi
"Previously, on Battlestar Galactica"
*cough cough* so say we all
I have suddenly become aware of just how much of my TV time in the early 2000s was given to Syfy
Stargate: SG1 was also the longest running sci-fi drama in American history
So?
@@tywinlannister.7473 I just thought it was an interesting little factoid
1 - Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis
2 - Farscape
3 - 12 Monkeys
4 - Sanctuary
Show: Were doing very good and we have a lot of fans!
Syfy (Loading shotgun): Shame.
Myka would have punched the narrator for pronouncing her name like that.
I cringed at that pronunciation. And I'm pretty sure that unlike Pete, the narrator wouldn't like being punched by Myka.
Glad to see Farscape in the top 5. Should’ve been even higher, if you ask me.
❤❤❤❤❤
Used to live watching that with my dad, plus claudia black and the blue girl umm umm good
No it shouldn't have. It's not as good as The expanse or Battlestar Galactica.
@@tywinlannister.7473 totally fine that you think that. Can’t be right all the time

For the record, LEXX is far more like "Farscape" than it is "Firefly before there was Firefly".
I'd agree with that. Though Lexx managed to be weirder than Farscape. By a lot.
If you havent seen the movie Serenity then you need to. Ut adds a bit of flavor to the series FIREFLY which the movie was based off of or vice versa.
I am just happy to see Farscape so high on the list, I love that series.
Me too ….although I never got the strange theme song. Great show
It has to be Battlestar Galactica at No. 1. It's such a well-made show. One of my favorite TV shows of all time. A straight-up classic.
Anders: Among bright stars, I'm lost.
So say we all.
Yes just don't watch the last episode it's pure trash but the rest was ground breaking
Baltar for President!

the fact that Syfy had 20 shows to fill this list is a triumph.

I DO REMEMBER
I remember watching the debut of the SyFi channel live with the airing of all 3 Star Wars films in a marathon hosted by Carrie Fisher

I did. That was when scifi was science fiction movies and TV shows.
Love Eureka and Warehouse 13 also Haven and one not on the list on sure was on SyFy....Lost Girl,either way these are my faves,couldn't get into the other shows.

I was going to complain about not seeing "Sliders" on this list … but I forgot that it started out on FOX, and was only a shred of its former self by the time it moved to (what was then) Sci Fi.
Stargate Universe and Haven should’ve made the list. Especially when mediocre shows like Z Nation and Van Helsing made the list.
SGU was fucking terrible trash
Thank you guys for counting down the top 20 best syfy (Sci-fi) channel shows. I remembered everything from the 2.0 era to the 4.0 era.
I'm surprised that Robot Combat League and Face off weren't on the list. Given that they are SyFy Shows.
Yea, none of the "reality" shows that aired on SyFy at one time or another made the list. Shows like: Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, Scare Tactics, and Face Off where my main reasons for tuning in to SyFy for the most part. In fact, the only title on this list that I actively tuned into regularly that wasn't a reality show was Being Human.
Not enough people have seen The Lost Room. Truly a great series. I wish they had decided to turn it into a full series after its original run
Eureka needs to be 1. One of the 5 greatest tv shows of all time
Finally a list that includes the best TV series ever, 12 Monkeys.
Nobody says 'So say we all' like Admiral William 'Fracking' Adama!
Tho I love this video I am absolutely APPALLED that Andromeda and Killjoys didn't make this list.
If you guys are making a list regarding the best SyFy Miniseries, please don't forget Dune and Children of Dune. :P
Why isn't Invisible Man (2000) on your list?? Its an oldie but good series! Definitely does not get enough credit, where credit is due!
Thought I was the only person who remembered that show. I loved it.
I’m sorry, but “MEEKA??” Lolllll warehouse 13 was my favorite show and ya’ll diss Myka like that hahaha
The expanse was different level and it was inclusive without bumbly corporate America shoving it in your face which is crazy in the modern era
Do a top 20 HBO TV Shows of all time
1. Game of thrones
2. OZ
3. Chernobyl
the rest...who cares !
@@johndaman6322 I care...HBO has had many great shows. I'm partial to GOT and True Blood.
Sopranos, The Wire
Succession, true detective, westworld, watchmen
I can't believe Channel Zero wasn't on this list. In terms of production design, it was the best Syfy show by a mile. Best horror television show ever created.
I watched this whole video, resisting the urge to skip ahead to see number one, but waiting and honestly believing that Battlestar Galactica would somehow not claim that honor. I was pleasantly surprised!
Gonna try Expanse again and try Dark Matter for the 1st time
Mystery Science Theater 3000 didn't even make Honorable Mention? Heresy!! 🤣
Spot on with 12 Monkeys. What a great series👍 I wasn't impressed with Alphas. I still need to watch a couple of episodes of Defiance to decide if it's good for me.
Magicians better be somewhere 💕
I would say number one
Top ten. I'll take it.
@couldn't think of a username You're halfway through season four? Oh my sweet summer child. Push through. It gets both much better and immeasurably worse (emotionally, not qualitywise).
"What do you hear, Starbuck?"
"Nothing but the rain"
"Grab your gun and bring in the cat." :')
The magicians was such an amazing show I absolutely loved it. Also I found Stargate Atlantis to be more interesting than the original.... Plus it had Jason Mamoa
Stargate and Farscape have 1 thing in common.
Claudia Black.
Two things in common...Claudia Black and Ben Browder
She was delightfully watchable.
Oh so we fighting watchmojo and voters! WHERE THE HELL IS KILLJOYS!?
Yo fr man. Killjoys was my shit
Yeah both dark matter and killjoys came out in 2015. I watched both and was sad to see dark matter get canceled, but if I had to choose I did enjoy kill joys more.
Dark Matter was defenitly the superior out of the 2.
Killjoys was definitely the worst sci-fi-titled series I´ve ever seen in my life. Why the hell is this crap so popular? -.-´
It seems like no Syfy show lasts beyond five seasons, if they aren't cancelled before then
1: Lost Girl
2: Haven
3:Being Human
4:Warehouse 13
5: Dominion
Warehouse 13 was based off their mini series the Lost Room which was amazing
BSG, SG and SG:A must be in top-5 for objective reasons. Especially Battlestar Galactica. Its both sci-fi with sci-fi pseudo scientific...things and very humane long-term drama where everyone is gonna find something personal. And the ending of BSG is an undeniable masterpiece.
the 12 monkeys woke the dystopian/sci-fi geek in me. its been so long...
Z nation should have been in the top 5. Excellent show. Loved Being Human but Z nation was much better
I actually live near where z nation was filmed
i'd forgotten about Lexx, but i'll never forget that "Smooth around the Bend" line as long as i live..lmao
Where is Killjoys?
Defiance, Sanctuary, and the magicians!! I’ve just recently re-watched and binged on these. I will probably watch Defiance again in a year or 2
Most of these syfy shows aren’t made by them, just shown on the channel! 🐯🐯🐯
I just finished Van Helsing and I was thinking about giving other syfy shows a chance.
Where the hell is Dominion ?
Oh man so many great shows, thanks for making me remember....and thanks for making me remember about all the cancellations too :( (looking at you Alphas, Sanctuary, Dark Matter, SG:U, Defiance...)
Suprised to see Alphas so far down the list.
I loved Haven, but I do admit its quality was all over the place and not for everyone. But its mystery and premise had me hooked AF. (Especially dat 3rd season)
Ooooh The Lost Room...dont remember at all what it was about (other than a special room obviously), but I do remember really liking it.
I kinda did enjoy Helix.
I should give Being Human, Farscape and Eureka a go.
