Science fiction series have remained a staple of American
television from its inception: classic programs such as The
Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and Star Trek, along with recent
and current series including Babylon 5 and Stargate SG-1, have been
some of the most enduring and influential of all television shows.
In this chronological survey, author M. Keith Booker examines this
phenomenon and provides in-depth studies of the most important of
these series. Science Fiction Television traces the development of
the genre as a distinct cultural phenomenon within the context of
broader developments in American culture as a whole. In the
process, it offers a unique and informative guide for television
fans and science fiction fans alike, one whose coverage is
unprecedented in its scope and breadth. A must-read for anyone
interested in its subject or in American popular culture, Science
Fiction Television is a perceptive and entertaining history of one
of television's most lasting forms of entertainment.
