Just looking for some recommendations because I’m in a sci fi mood. And btw, my favorite sci fi film is Planet of the Apes (original).

I can see not getting into B5 or Farscape, as they’re kinda cheesy, but SG1 was basically just Star Trek without ships, it was the other major sci fi franchise I grew up with
As someone who watched TOS as a kid, SG didn’t feel like Star Trek without ships, but other friends and family feel otherwise. I was predisposed to like it as a MacGyver fan, but it never took.
The cheesiness and pure lunacy of Farscape was actually a plus once I got past the early episodes. Bab5 started with a very austere pilot that was the opposite of cheesy, and that I liked. The first season was all over the place, but like 90s Trek show it did better once it found its groove.
B5 is aesthetically very cheesy, like the Centauri make me laugh whenever I see them. It’s why I ignored B5 totally as a kid in the 90s, I only watched it recently on Blu-Ray. Once you look past that, it’s actually a very good show.
SG-1 feels like TNG/DS9/VOY to me, which isn’t a surprise to me because the creators were directly inspired by TNG. Not as good as TNG, but close enough.
