    There are many iconic old sci-fi TV shows that have been canceled or are no longer on the air. These include shows like Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, and The X-Files. While these shows may no longer be on the air, they have left a lasting legacy and have inspired many modern shows that are currently on the air. Maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll play online slots Canada real money and these shows will air once again. In any case, here are 4 sci-fi shows with a loyal following.

    1. Star Trek

    Star Trek is an iconic sci-fi TV show that has been running for over 50 years. The original series started in 1966 and ran for 3 seasons. It was followed by an animated series and then by 6 movies. The most recent TV series is Star Trek: Discovery, which is available on CBS All Access.

    Star Trek is set in the future and follows the adventures of the Starship Enterprise and its crew. The show is known for its strong characters, progressive storylines, and iconic status in popular culture.

    2. The X-Files

    The X-Files is one of the most iconic sci-fi TV shows of all time. It first aired in 1993 and ran for nine seasons, becoming one of the most popular and acclaimed shows in television history. The show follows FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigate unexplained cases, often involving extraterrestrial life and the paranormal. 

    The X-Files is a groundbreaking show that helped to popularize the sci-fi genre on television. It is responsible for launching the careers of numerous actors and actresses, including David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. The show has a dedicated fanbase who continue to support it, even after all these years. The X-Files is an iconic TV show that has left a lasting legacy.

    3. Firefly

    Despite its short run, Firefly has inspired a devoted cult following and has been hailed as one of the best sci-fi TV shows of all time. Set in the year 2517, Firefly follows the adventures of the crew of the Serenity, a small spacecraft that’s home to a ragtag group of smugglers and outcasts. Led by charismatic captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds, the crew sails across the galaxy, getting into all sorts of scrapes and misadventures.

    What makes Firefly so special is its unique blend of genres. It’s equally at home with space opera, western, and comedy elements, and the chemistry between the cast is undeniable. The show also features some of the best world-building in any sci-fi series, creating a fully-realized universe that’s been meticulously thought out.

    Despite its premature end, Firefly has left a lasting legacy. It continues to inspire new generations of viewers, and its influence can be seen in many other sci-fi shows that have come since.

    4. The Twilight Zone

    The Twilight Zone aired from 1959 to 1964. The show is set in a parallel universe where the planet Earth is invaded by aliens. The show’s protagonist, Rod Serling, is a reporter who is sent to investigate the invasion. 

    The show is known for its twist endings, which often left viewers feeling shocked and confused. The Twilight Zone is considered to be one of the most influential TV shows of all time, and it has been referenced in many other TV shows and movies.
