#SpaceAboveAndBeyond (1995-1996)
The Earth is embroiled in a desperate war against alien invaders, and this series focuses on one squadron of Marine pilots involved in it.

I loved how the 90s had so many networks and studios making their own SciFi show to catch the X-Files money train. We had many shows come and go, some lasted 2-3 seasons, many didn't.
Space Above and Beyond IS a fantastic series. I loved it then and every year do a rewatch since I have it on DVD.
I was even able to acquire a fanmade HD upscale that is pretty good.
Sci-Fi’s Best Space Military Series Is Being Erased From Existence, Save It

30 years ago today the first episode of what I think is the greatest military SciFi space opera to ever air on TV premiered. Space Abve and Beyond, nominated for 2 Emmy’s and a Saturn award, tells the story of the 58th Squadran Space Marines and their fight against the ‘invading’ Chigs. Sadly the series only lasted for one season but a remastered version is available on YouTube. #spaceaboveandbeyond

Everyone talks about "Firefly" and how they wanted another season, meanwhile "Space Above and Beyond" just STOPPED and no one says anything! What the hell?!

Our coverage of Space: Above and Beyond concludes as Kenneth and Eugene discuss the final two-part season finale (and, as history records, also the series finale) episodes, “And If They Lay Us Down to Rest…” and “…Tell Ours Moms We Done Our Best.”
They discuss this week’s court-martial-able offenses, things that might have been if this series hadn’t been such an awkward mashup of space opera and Word War II melodrama, and not once, to their credit, do they complain about the horrible grammar in the episode title.
Join them as they bid farewell to Space: Above and Beyond.
