Science Fiction?

The Boston Globe's website (creatively named Boston.com) have put up their list of the Top 50 Science Fiction Television Shows. It is an odd list to say the least, counting Xena, Quantum Leap and Tales from the Crypt as SF for example . . . as well as Wild Wild West, the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the X-Files. But I also question their writing: "Mechanized robots" (in the Journey to the Bottom of the Sea entry), is there another kind of robot? And "story plot" in Star Trek (TOS) description. Interesting to see what those outside of fandom think is (and think of) "science fiction".
