Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?

No, Firefly doesn't count as lesser-known.

For a long time my answer would've been Doctor Who - I was an original Who fan who got hooked on PBS in the 80s and kept the candle burning in the 90s and early 2000s with books and Big Finish audio dramas. Now that it's back and more popular than before though, I don't know if it'd really count as "lesser known" like it used to, so for that criteria I'd have to say... Blake's 7

It's definitely not lesser known anymore, but strangely still seems somewhat niche in the US. For as high budget as it has become and how popular it is, very few people I've encountered IRL have ever seen any of it. I absolutely adore Doctor Who. Even in the darkest of storylines it's light-hearted and fun.
