I find things like babylon five have aged quite badly because of the CG and effects, but I think farscape had a lot of prosthetics, which age pretty well usually.Sorry for the late reply forgot about this thread, i think Farscape has aged well personally, it always had it`s own sort of quirky style anyway, and i don`t think it ever had the biggest budget(and no program ages perfectly there are always signs of age as time goes on, just how it is)
I've only seen a couple of episodes, I think it might have aged a bit now for me to get into, but what I saw was interesting. The prosthetics are done very well and mean it ages better than say Babylon 5 with its old cheap CGI shots.

from the few episodes i've seen repeated recently the fx all looked fine, even if not quite as great as when it was new

Also, how many seasons were there, and are was it consistent, or did it have shit periods that should be avoided?Well the site i checked when i looked a bit earlier(wanted to make sure it was actually still available before i said it was) and it is available on blu ray as well same exact box set, slightly more expensive though.
