Product Description:
This guide features virtually every science fiction series in the past five decades, from Captain Video to Babylon 5, from One Step Beyond to The X-Files, My Favorite Martian, and 3rd Rock from the Sun. With every hit from Dr. Who to Star Trek: Voyager; every cult show from The Prisoner and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Blake's 7; and every short-lived effort from The Fantastic Journey to Earth II, this is the definitive volume on televised science fiction entertainment.

"The Sci-Fi Channel Encyclopedia of TV Science Fiction" is an impressive achievement by co-authors Roger Fulton and John Betancourt. The book is a guide to dozens of science fiction TV series dating from the 1950s to the late 1990s. The authors include British and U.S. series (as well as a few productions from elsewhere). A nice touch is the inclusion of children's series and short-lived series (such as TV's "Planet of the Apes" and "The Fantastic Journey"). Fantasy, as well as sci-fi, series are ... Read More

I'm a life-long fan of Science Fiction who was raised with TV as my primary grow light, and as such, I gotta tell you that THE SCI-FI CHANNEL ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TV SCIENCE FICTION, by Roger Fulton & John Betancourt, it is pretty cool. It contains lots of information about all those great--and even not-so-great--Science Fiction, horror, and fantasy TV shows that we SF fans all love and cherish, including some stuff on obscure, nearly forgotten shows like NBC's short-lived SF comedy QUARK. There are ... Read More

Space limits a point by point critique, but two things became apparent almost immediately. First, it does not have an index. While, like most encyclopedias, it is in alphabetical order, with ...

A hastily-updated version of an older book originally published in Britain, it lacks guides for dozens of shows such as Beyond Reality, Tales from the Darkside, Goosebumps, Friday the 13th, Probe, Starman, Misfits of Science, etc. Even when shows are covered, they often consist only of a list of episode titles, e.g. Tekwar, Forever Knight, Captain Power, Wild Wild West, VR.5, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Hercules and Xena. Sometimes the listing is woefully incomplete: the book covers only 10 of the ... Read More

I really like this book - I keep it next to my TV and use it to note down which shows I have in my collection, just a checkmark and a tape number next to the episode guides.
I understand it's an update of a British book -- seems very current, it even has shows like The Burning Zone and Homeboys in Outer Space.
