The current issue of Wizard magazine (#212) includes a list of the top 25 science fiction shows of all time. Among the honorees are Smallville (#24), V (#10, which of course featured Faye Grant [Rhonda]), and two Star Treks (TOS at #7 and TNG at #4).
On a relatively positive note, GAH received an honorable mention. Here's what they had to say:
(Come to think of it, wouldn't that be considered backhanded praise?)

Hey, I'm just glad they acknowledged it at all, with the other attempts at sci-fi on the air about the same time (before and after). And personally, I liked the crashes.  I loved the reference to Culp being a prototype Bruce Campbell, since he's my pick to be the new Maxwell. Granted, Culp is a hundred times better than Bruce overall, but I can appreciate the sentiment.  I suppose there was no mention of Manimal, Misfits of Science, or Automan? Wonder why... oh yeah, GAH was the best of the bunch. |

Ms. B: According to the first post, it only got an Honorable Mention so I am guessing it is not on the actual list.  |

Oh, and I forgot to clarify: It's "V" the miniseries not "V" the series that's ranked so high. They also noted the episode of "The Outer Limits" (ranked #17 on the list) entitled "The Architects of Fear," which featured Robert Culp. |
