I would class both 'The Avengers' and 'The New Avengers' as: 'crime/mystery' shows
there are sci fi flavoured episodes in each era of the show(s) (i.e. 'Dragonseed', 'Immortal Clay', 'The Cybernaughts', 'Return of.../Last of...', 'Invasion of The Earthmen', 'Thingamajig', 'Man Eater of Surrey Green', etc) but these were exceptions and mostly it was a crime based series with mystery overtones, plus some more surreal episodes circa 1967-69 period
- the 1961 original 'Avengers' of Ian Hendry & Patrick Macnee (of which currently only two episodes & a first act of the pilot episode are held) was a very straight crime series, but the final episode of season one ('Dragonseed') was set in a nuclear power station with the first sci fi overtones.
