Jake 2.0 was harmless, but I didn't really feel compelled to come back after episode 2. A little too derivative for my tastes. 7 days never did it for me, either. The Sentinel was just a cop show with an occasional gimmick, from what I could tell...again, not really bad, but I've seen that sort of thing a lot in the past 30 years, and done better, I thought.    I mean, quite honestly, UPN has Star Trek, and that's about it. Most of the others are, as Harlan Ellison would put it, "skiffy'. They're shows with a genre gimmick/element tossed in to the mix. And let's be honest, none of them lasted more than a season or two, at most. The Sentinel was the exception, not the rule, at three seasons.     Nowhere Man wasn't even sci-fi, but just consipiracy theory drama. I'd forgotten it even existed. I remember thinking it had promise, but suffered from X-files wannabe syndrome, and suspension of disbelief just was too much as it dragged on.  What I'd really like is a Sci-Fi channel that actually shows Sci-Fi, from time to time, instead of reality shows and lots of crappy horror movies.  I mean, I like Stargate SG-1 as much as the next guy, but why is so much of what they produce just so bad?</blockquote>
