Message: <blockquote data-quote="Insight" data-source="post: 3696887" data-attributes="member: 11437">Sci-Fi doesn't develop these shows.  They have ZERO say in what happens or how much is spent on development.  All they do is buy the rights to show it.  Sci-Fi pays a rights fee to the development company and show the product.  Sci-Fi doesn't care (or doesn't seem to care in any event) whether or not the show is any good.  They have a certain fanbase that will watch whatever they put on the air (have you seen some of the crap shows that appear on that network??? YIKES!)Don't expect high-budget shows on Sci-Fi.  If they do manage to find something that's any good, it's almost an accident.I'm not trying to knock Sci-Fi at all.  It's how they do business.  There's nothing wrong with it, but it is what it is.  You wouldn't go to Bravo to find sports programming, so don't go to Sci-Fi if you're looking for in-depth, high-budget programming.Note: I am referring only to the first-run shows that Sci-Fi broadcasts.  Obviously, syndicated stuff like X-Files re-runs are good programming (and honestly, far better than Flash Gordon can ever hope to be).</blockquote>
