The budget for the Taken Mini-series was around 40 million, Stargate runs around 1.5 million per episode (36 million for a 24 episode run). So there's more than half their total new show budget for the year, then you got all the other shows and movies and specials and the Galactica mini series and well you can see it just doesn't go all that far.  Here is a chart I found on a Firefly messageboard, don't know how reliable it is: Genre Show BudgetsEnterprise (2001)$5,000,000 (per episode) (Season 2-7)$3,500,000 (per episode)$12,000,000 (pilot episode)Star Trek TNG (1987) $2,500,000 (per episode) (season 3-7)$1,500,000 (per episode)Star Trek DS9 (1993)$4,000,000 (per episode) (Season 4-7)$2,000,000 (per episode)Star Trek Voyager (1995)$3,500,000 (per episode) (Season 4-7)$2,200,000 (Per Episode)Stargate SG1 (1996)$1,400,000 (per episode)The X-Files (1993) $1,500,000 (per episode - Canada)$2,500,000 (per episode - US)$66,000,000 (movie)Space: Above and Beyond (1995)$5,000,000 (per episode)Star Trek TOS (1966) $100,000 (per episode)Babylon Five (1994)$750,000 (per episode)$900,000 (per episode) (Season 4-5)Battlestar Galactica (1978) $750,000 (per episode)The Outer Limits (1995)$1,100,000 (per episode, 7th season)Buffy (1997)$2,300,000 (per episode, 5th season)Angel (1999)$2,000,000 (per episode)Firefly (2002)$2,000,000 (per episode)$10,000,000 (pilot episode)Farscape (1999)$1,500,000 (per episode)<a href="http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=3136" target="_blank">http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=3136</a></blockquote>
