What a juvenile attempt at proper snobbery.
Seriously, how fucking uptight do you have to be to say this: "significant contribution to the SF genre."
Snobbery? One can be a fan of Harry Potter and Dragon Riders of Pern and recognize they are both juveniles and contributions to their respective genres. There have been six Star Wars. Their quality can be easily rated as directly proportional to the content that interests children starting with the comical, teddy bears called Ewoks. Kindergarten for Jedis was the pits.

Several series in different incarnations of concept, the present being the 2005 partially Americanized version. Then there was the series where he never left Earth and then a different approach with tooth and curls.
One generally judges significance by its imitators. In this context a better time traveler series or a different space and time crusader. Wellsian time travel v Twainian time travel v Bellamyian time travel come to mind as I can do it better contributions.
