BSG came quite a few years later (assuming you do mean the remake?).
There were other gems around that time though. I was chatting to friends about the Outer Limits just yesterday. Plus let’s not forget the other Star Trek franchise; Voyager.
I also love(d) Stargate SG1 (this was a little later too IIRC but much closer in time frame than BSG).
There were some pretty weird shows too. Some people liked Fargate. I personally couldn’t get into that particular show. But I did enjoy Lexx.
Edit: a little later (possibly around the time of BSG), but Firefly and Dollhouse shouldn’t be forgotten either.
Everyone keeps mentioning the same sci-fi shows mentioned already above, so I am just going to drop this one that I haven’t heard of before stumbling on it accidentally: Killjoys.
And for something more recent: War of the worlds (tv show from BBC+France).
I was never a big tv watcher, so maybe everyone knows.
By Fargate, did you mean Farscape? I didn't watch it until like 10 years ago and really enjoyed it even though it's the opposite of Star Trek. Babylon 5 is what I grew up on at a very young age and it really partially shaped how I see the world today in a way.
I just recently started watching it while ignoring it years ago - back then I just simply didn't like that format Farscape along with Andromeda tried to introduce. But nowadays, both shows feel unique compared to other space operas and are quite enjoyable - just like old Star Trek and B5 are.
