Babylon 5

Kinda like if Deep Space Nine and The X-Files had a baby, but it came first
There's not really a huge rift between Star Trek and Star Wars fans like everyone who isn't a nerd wants there to be, but damn Babylon 5 fans used to strait up murder Star Trek fans like Bloods and Crips in a lock-in at the community center.

Alien Nation

Police procedural
Aliens come to Earth and are regular butt heads like everyone else.
They're all bald and speckled and get drunk off of milk.

Space: Above and Beyond

I'm not really sure - it's like space battles and aliens and stuff and it's pretty good and I wish they would bring it back but not as a reboot because I hate those just keep the old story and add on to it dammit stop re-hashing stuff and write!

The X-Files

Monster of the week and/or government conspiracies, in that order.
(X-Files fictional universe)

Millennium

Crime procedural
The X-Files Jr. Government conspiracies and/or monster of the week, in that order.

The Lone Gunman

I think that there was some computer hacking and conspiracy stuff
(X-Files fictional universe)

Freaky Links

Really wanted to be The X-Files.
People investigated creepy stuff
(X-Files fictional universe)

Harsh Realm

There was like a government virtual reality thing that broke and went crazy and some people gt stuck in there and that's about it
(X-Files fictional universe)

Earth: Final Conflict

Aliens come to Earth and claim that they wanna be friends
There's some conspiracy stuff and general action shootout stuff but with sometimes aliens and sometimes monster of the week.
The Roddenberry are responsible for this, but it's not in the Star Trek fictional universe

Farscape

If The X-Files and Star Trek had a baby
Pretty good

Stargate: SG1

Claims to be based on the movie
Lots of action, decent story arc
Alien of the week sometimes
Conspiracy stuff sometimes
Star Trek actors sometimes
Kinda like Star Trek in that they go to other planets
References to MacGyver in the blooper reels
(Stargate fictional universe)
"Aim High"

Stargate: Atlantis 

Like Stargate: SG1 if it was all nerds















Not a TV show, but I'm putting this here anyway. I'll do one for each episode if I ever do part two of this list.

The Star Wars Franchise

A conglomeration of Samurai stories, pirate stories, The Godfather, and Lord of the Rings, set in space, with swords that are like lasers for some reason. Also, space combat and a big "ultimate power" weapon, so basically World War II
(Star Trek fictional universe - and I can prove it, so suck it!)
