Possibly the best TV show ever
Technically sci-fi (Sam is sent back through time into the body of people whose lives went wrong to try and stop certain events from happening) but each episode was a mini-drama in itself with a sci-fi overlay. Whether Sam became a pregnant woman, a struggling aging baseball player or a young man with down's syndrome, Scott Bakula's character had to work out who they were (starting with the standard "Oh boy" in the mirror), and with the help of his hologram assistant Al (Dean Stockwell) what events they would be trying to avoid. Once the task was complete, Sam would "leap" out, each time hoping the next leap would be the leap home.
Truly brilliant and I have nice warm fuzzy memories of watching with my family throughout the early 90s.

Sci-fi horror at its finest
A simple concept of a group of astronauts returning from a far away mission and awakened prematurely by their computer to investigate an unknown signal so thy can investigate. What they find within the hostile environment of the strange planet started an entire new genre of sci-fi horror which has not been equaled even to this day.

You can make an argument which is better Alien or Aliens; however, Aliens is an action film whereas the original Alien is claustrophobic, uneasy, foreboding and a masterpiece.

The stunning visuals accompanied by a stellar cast and a masterful look and feel make Alien a true one-of-a-kind and something that has been mimicked and copied over the years with varying degrees of success without equaling the original.
