Classic Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV
Two Classic TV shows:
Doctor Who: BBC program about a space & time traveller with a knack for
getting in & out of trouble while exploring the universe's mysteries. A
good introduction to the series has just been released on DVD. It's called
"The Key To Time" & is comprised of an entire season of the show, with the
Doctor trying to recover six segments (one segment per story) of a device
which balances the forces of good & evil in the universe. These stories
feature the most well-known Doctor (Doctor #4, Tom Baker) & feature
excellent writing with a sense of humor.

Dark Shadows: Originally an ABC soap opera, this program far transcends the
genre. The writers took classic stories from the likes of Charles Dickens,
Alexandre Dumas, Oscar Wilde, etc. & adapted the ideas to the saga of the
Collins family of vampires, werewolves and ghosts. The show used the
supernatural setting to explore many themes & problems common to ALL people,
including unrequited love, religious hypocrisy, scientific dogma, etc. Time
travel, backwards, forwards & even sideways (Parallel Time/Parallel
Universe) were a big part of this program. Like Doctor Who, there's a lot
of humanity in it, too.

Well, just thought I'd relate these as a big fan of 21st Century Radio!
These are worth looking into.
