Unfortunately, the LISA website is no more. Long story, but, I've heard they're working on bring it back. In the meantime, some of the stories I recommended there are also on Fanfiction.net.
And a relatively new one from Lorie, Fly Boys.

A few years ago, a statue of Lucille Ball was dedicated in her hometown of Celoron, New York. The statue by sculptor Dave Poulin was quickly dubbed "Scary Lucy" because it bore little resemblance to the actress and, well, it was scary looking. On what would have been Lucille Ball's 105th birthday, a new bronze statue by sculptor Carolyn Palmer was dedicated. Unlike the previous statue, this Lucy statue is gorgeous and looks just like her!

MeTV has broken up its Sci-Fi Saturday Night lineup. Starting 9/10/16, there will be a new block called Red Eye Sci-Fi. The Time Tunnel will run at 1AM, Land of the Giants at 2AM, Lost In Space is moving to 3AM and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea to 4AM. Rounding out the lineup is Planet of the Apes at 5AM. Fans have been extremely upset about the changes, especially those who livetweet the shows on Twitter and have even started a hashtag, #ProtestTooLateSciFi, in protest.

Sad news to report, Jerry Doyle was found unresponsive in his Las Vegas home yesterday. His family announced today that he has passed away at the age of 60. The cause is unknown at this time.

I liked Sliders, but I don't see how it ranks in the top 20. Quantum Leap should rank higher than Sliders. Also, I'd rank Star Trek: The Original Series higher than Next Generation. I'm glad to see Lost In Space on the list and personally, I'd rank it higher, but that's personal bias talking.
I'd have liked to see Voyage To The Bottom of the Sea on the list too. I'm a sucker for Irwin Allen shows, if you hadn't noticed. I'm sure I'll give this more thought and post again. -
The Lost In Space Blu-ray will be available on the 50th anniversary of the show's premiere, September 15th, 2015. It has tons of extras, interviews with the cast, two documentaries about the show, commentary on select episodes, a table reading of Bill Mumy's un-filmed script that was meant to give the show closure, and best of all, completely remastered footage!
Here is a sample of the remastered series:

I ran across an article today, Popular Mechanics' Top 50 Sci-Fi shows of all time. It's an interesting list, which I have some disagreement with, which I will talk about in a subsequent post. The article is here: http://www.popularmechanics.com/cult...i-fi-tv-shows/ but I'll post the list here for quick reference. What do you think of this list?

I just discovered TJ Hooker available for streaming on Crackle this weekend. It's available until April 15, 2015. I used to watch this all the time during the original run. I'm having a marathon this weekend and I'm loving it. It was a fantastic vehicle for William Shatner, so full of melodramatic ham. I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be laughing at it so much, but it's so incredibly entertaining.

I love this promo. It's a unique way to market the show to new audiences.

I used to watch both of those shows. I'd have to say that I Dream of Jeannie was my favorite of the two.

This was an excellent episode, with Martin Landau in a dual role as nephews who murder their uncle for his money. I don't think I've ever seen Columbo show fear before. That is, until he met Mrs. Peck. That lady was terrifying and she wasn't even the murderer. The most interesting part of this episode was Columbo's interactions with a thoroughly unhinged Mrs. Peck. The scene where Dexter Paris ropes Columbo into appearing on his cooking show was also delightful. As @columbophile on Twitter informs me, legend has it that scene was adlibbed.
