Sci Fi TV Shows, Catch the Latest and Travel to the Past
I love to sit in front of my TV screen to watch sci fi TV shows - with my pop corn on the coffee table- and I enjoy it to the maximum, it's a fun experience for me to watch a story about outer space, aliens, time travel or even about some paranormal phenomena here on earth. Don't you agree?From Star Trek (original) back in the 60s to the present time, there was lot's of good and popular sci fi TV shows that amused us. And I was wondering the other day "wow, what they are going to create next?" Science fiction first appeared on television during the golden age of science fiction, first in Britain (UK) and then in the United States (US). Special effects and other production techniques allow creators to present a living visual image of an imaginary world not limited by the constraints of reality; this makes television an excellent medium for science fiction, which in turn contributes to its popularity in this form. Because of its visual presentation mode, television uses much less exposition than books do to explain the underpinnings of the fictional setting. As a result, the definition and boundaries of the genre are less strictly observed than they are in print media. Because of the relatively high cost of creating a television show compared to the cost of writing and printing books, television shows are obliged to appeal to a much larger audience than print fiction. Some writers and readers believe that a lowest-common-denominator effect lowers the quality of science fiction on television relative to that in books. With the genre boundaries being weaker, screenwriters and viewers must use more inclusive standards than authors and readers. So the category of science fiction on television is considered in many contexts to include all the speculative genres, including fantasy and horror; in Britain this group is referred to as "telefantasy". The most enduring and well-known bodies of work in this field are Doctor Who and Star Trek, though countless other series have attracted large and small audiences over the decades.
