    That's an extremely low "peak" ... Babblealong 5 is one of the worst
    sci-fi shows ever made.

    There is no way I can think for a moment that Babylon 5 deserves a place
    in the pantheon alongside The Starlost, the Flash Gordon TV series,
    Galactica 1980, Prey, Manimal and Tekwar.

    Of course if you went with "most over-rated"...well an argument could be
    made.

    Babblealong 5 was tidious and pretentious. It was full of long-winded >speeches and boring silent / ballet music space battles. It was simply
    trying to be too clever and failed.

    There are of course fans of the show (hell, there's always someone
    who'll like any garbage), but they're very much a niche group compared
    to the likes of Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, etc., so the show is
    far from being the "peak '90s sci-fi TV".
