Farscape Cancelled!!

[Viking Bastard]

*GASP!*

I. Don't. Believe. It.

It's my fav show on TV right now. I don't frickin' beleive it!

*Sigh*

Have they fininshed shooting all the 4th season? Did they do that before the show was cancelled.

If not, they can at least give the show a good finale.

Compilation

Here you can find a compilation of news, transcript and contact info. http://farscape.wdsection.com/
Even if you aren't an avid fan, help out your friends by speaking out against the termination of quality Sci-Fi.

Here are the two petitions that I know of:
http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/SAVE_FARSCAPE/
http://www.petitiononline.com/scaper1/petition.html

For those who don't belive it, letting our voices be heard won't hurt it either way. If it had been a crazy rumor, it would still let Sci-Fi know how important the show is to the fans.

But, I digress. I hope the show gets picked up by another network.

While possible, this seems unlikely. The sets are due to be struck at the end of next week. The Sci Fi Channel still holds rights to the first 88 episodes. Few other channels would be willing to pick up a new season without also being able to air the old ones.

Yeah, I read the thing about the sets.

I know it's not a high percentage type of thing, but there are still 4 days until the sets are scrapped. In TV time, that's a long time. Many deals could be struck in that time frame. I'll reserve hope until we get final word that everything has been physically removed. I still believe the fans have a chance to save it.

This news is everywhere are there are many up in arms. It's not the most popular show out there but it has a rabid fan base that numbers in the millions. There is still plenty of money to be made from the show and someone may just decide to extend it's life a bit. *crosses fingers and knocks on wood *

The 4th season has completed filming, which is why they are able to scrap the sets next week.

This means that nothing will be resolved and/or the producers can't leave us with the cliffhanger they intended.

Instead of allowing this thread to remain in the General Forum, Darkness has suggested I put a link in my Sig. I suggest you all do the same, so more people find out about this and are able to help us keep the show.

In the case of the Scifi Channel, they are moving away from space-oriented series. This was brought up when they passed on making Legends of the Rangers into a new Babylon 5 series. Cancelling Farscape seems to be a logical extension of that policy. Not that the very premise of the SciFo Channel moving away from space-oriented series is logical.

neither is MTV moving away from music videos.

That's because they have a second channel just for music videos now. Something the Sci-fi folks probably WON'T do.

 

[Dark Psion]

No, say it isn't so... What is wrong with cable bigawigs nowadays? It seems if a show gets a good following, it gets canned...

Dark Angel...Witchblade...now Farscape...what's next?

One word for you:

SYNDICATION

Once you have enougth episodes you cancel the show so you are no longer spending money on actors, sets and FX. Then you can sell the show in syndication and make money showing the same episodes over and over and over and over and over........
