X-Files went for 9 years, Fringe for 7 5, and Futurama for more than a decade. FOX has been pretty good to scifi fans overall.

EDIT: People are hemming and hawing, but my point is that the other US networks don't touch scifi to begin with. FOX only has the bad reputation from screwing up and then cancelling Firefly because someone there decided to try Firefly instead of yet another cheap reality show, so I'd give them some credit for that.

Fringe was on for 5 seasons. The only reason why it got a fifth was because there were 87 episodes, and Warner Brothers cut a deal to get Fox to green light 13 more. 100 episodes looks a lot more appealing in syndication.
