The Dumbies - Television Nominations

This year's Dumbies Television nomination list contains an old show rediscovered and three new shows.

- Lost
- Battlestar Galactica
- Firefly
- Doctor Who

Doctor Who proved that Science fiction in the UK could be primetime family entertainment and was an incredible success for the BBC. Meanwhile Firefly continued to win over fans long after its demise thanks to the DVD release, and then managed to spawn a film. Battlestar Galactica won the critics over with its serious SF style, despite most of them desperately trying to discount it as Science Fiction or using cliches such as "redefining the genre". Finally Lost was a massive ratings success both sides of the Atlantic and qualifies as SF because the judges love it and it has a polar bear on a tropical island.
