I guess they both count as "classic" shows now

I am sometimes tickled by how much Blake's 7 anticipates (and/or influenced or inspired) the dynamic of Farscape.

Yes, but one is a bit more classic than the other.

I am always pleasantly surprised when I discover someone besides me has seen it.

I've "always" maintained that Farscape is Blake's 7 with a budget.

and the Henson Workshop on retainer, yes. That seems to be a common/popular opinion.

Blake's Seven. I was obsessed with that as a kid and then kept discovering no one had heard of it later.

Fun Fact: the first SF convention I went to had announced Paul Darrow (Kerr Avon) and George Takei as guests of honor. Darrow had a family emergency, but Villa's actor came instead which was nearly as good.
