You got to have a balance or nobody will be watching in the end. Just because Tremors the series cost less than Farscape didn't make it a good replacement. Lots of channels are able to offer quality programming and still make money that's not the point I was making, it really helps if you actually like Science Fiction if you are going to run a channel called The Sci Fi network. Lets face it There is so much more that goes into making a sucessful tv show than "how cheap we can get it".  My only point was that it seems that the decison to drop Farscape and push Stargate had a lot of finacial reasons involved in it. Scare Tactics didn't get all that good of ratings but it got renewed because it it cheap to make, you have to get a good ratings to cost ratio, Farscape had decent ratings but just cost a lot to make. It's not that they cancelled Farscape, it's how they went about doing it that bugged me, that's why I'm happy about the miniseries, I really want some closure for this series instead of it ending with the two main cast members turned into little cubes on a boat.</blockquote>
