Farscape

Tonight marks the twentieth anniversary of the U.S. and Australian premiere of Farscape, one of the madder space operas ever to reach TV, a comical and emotional take on the Flash Gordon setup. Its style can be seen in various shabby spaceships out there now - James Gunn homages it all over Guardians Of The Galaxy, for example.

And as the note about Crichton’s references starting in the writers’ room adds, like Buffy it’s very like being at a gaming table. (AEG published the official RPG in 2002.)
