- Masters of Science Fiction is a television anthology series by some of the producers of Masters of Horror. The show debuted on ABC on August 4, 2007, at 10PM for a run of four episodes. It was originally scheduled to run in six parts, but two episodes were removed from the schedule for undisclosed reasons. The show follows a similar format as Masters of Horror, with each hour long episode taking the form of a separate short film adaptation of a story by a respected member of the science fiction community, hence the Masters in the title. In December 2007, the show was picked up by Space in Canada. This was followed by the North American premiere of the missing two episodes. A Region 1 DVD of all six episodes was released on August 5, 2008. On February 12, 2012, the Science Channel began airing the episodes, under the title Stephen Hawking's Sci-Fi Masters, beginning with the first domestic airing of the episode "Watchbird". The show is hosted off-screen by physicist Stephen Hawking. (en)

- Masters of Science Fiction è una serie televisiva statunitense/canadese del 2007 trasmessa dalla ABC e costituita da 6 episodi: gli ultimi due, a causa degli ascolti non soddisfacenti, vennero trasmessi in Canada il 2 e il 9 dicembre del 2007, dalla tv via cavo Space. Masters of Science Fiction è stata concepita come serie antologica di fantascienza sulla falsariga di Masters of Horror (2005-2007), di cui condivideva lo stesso format generale: adattamenti di storie tratte da autori di genere (tra cui Robert A. Heinlein e Walter Mosley), in episodi autoconclusivi di circa un'ora (compresi gli spazi pubblicitari), diretti da registi affermati (tra i quali Mark Rydell, candidato all'Oscar nel 1982 per Sul lago dorato e Harold Becker). Gli episodi hanno un'introduzione (solo audio) del fisico Stephen Hawking, in linea con la tradizione delle serie antologiche classiche della tv americana. (it)
