Well said. (Plus no "Red Dwarf". What's up with that?)

Star Trek snubbed by EW in their list of Top 25 Cult Shows
- Thread starter patlandness
- Start date
10 years ago it was cool to bash Trek. But Abrams made it cool to like Trek beyond the niche again, which hasn't happened since TNG (and even then that's debatable), otherwise it wouldn't have been a box office hit with plenty of mainstream coverage.
Ten years ago most people didn't know what Doctor Who was.
I read this quote and then I read your avatar. It just made sense to do so.
Entertainment Weekly caters to a younger readership base. It's not in their interest to include a nearly fifty-year old television series, and it's no surprise that only three series on the list debuted before 1987 (and although the dates indicate Doctor Who debuted in the 1960s, the graphics and text seem to be mainly about the contemporary series).
I'd never call Trek cult. But I'd never call The Wire, Dr. Who or a few others cult either.
Just a dumb list. Why is Farscape and NuBSG on there but not Bab 5?

So, if I understand correctly, a show with a cult following is one that is short lived and has fans during and or after.
TOS would fit this but not any of the other trek shows.
Firefly would fit because it was one for one season.
Then there was Crusade
On the List was The Prisoner (I loved that show)
I wonder about StarGate Atlantis. It was on for 4 years and a lot of fans swore it should have been on for longer, but it doesn't fit my current idea of "cult"
Of coarse there was SG-U, but no one wants to here about that.....on the other hand, I imagine there are fans and therefore a cult following????

I am in the Rodney McKay cult. Our sigil is the lemon.
Mentally unstable like a fox!

If I recall correctly, McKay was deathly allergic to citrus, thus ruling out Lemons.
Perhaps this would be more appropriate?
You know how strong peoples would have sigils of dragons? To us, the lemon is our dragon. Our greatest foe who ultimately we shall conquer.
However your pic is also quite excellent, though perhaps more appropriate for the bedroom. Yes, it is that kind of cult.
