[QUOTE="Bamphalas, post: 363398, member: 6455"] The show doesn't need help getting more viewers. Its ratings are already quite high. (Although it could always go higher.) It has been Sci-Fi's number one show until they moved it to the 10pm timeslot and put SG1 in the 9pm slot. Now SG1 is number 1 (and FS is #2) because it has the better slot. (Some of the younger demographic is lost when the show is on later.) I'm sure that if the slots were switched around, Farscape would return to #1 with SG1 a distant 2nd. The cancellation has nothing to do with ratings. Sci-Fi was simply trying to bamboozle EMTV into taking a low-ball offer when they had already agreed on a price for 5th season. The campaign has targetted media outlets. The media is one of the ways they are trying to get the word out there. This has gotten bigger than Sci-Fi would have ever thought possible. They dropped the bomb on the cast and crew (apparently not intending for fans to know), and within the same day, the news was passed on to us. Then the Juggernaut started gaining steam. Check out the transcript of the CNN report. That is quite impressive. [/QUOTE]
