[QUOTE="satori01, post: 2725463, member: 7859"] Funny thing there is a reason why shows like Supernatural are put up against things like CSI. The network knows it is not going to win the ratings battle, but figures they can capture a substantial share of the potential viewing audience that is not intrested in CSI. In this case it did not work out. The comment about Fox made me laugh, Fox TV has a relatively high turnover rate in terms of Execs, so often a TV show is pencilied in for a season, and is too far along in production,(and contracts), to be stopped AFTER the Exec championing it has left. I know two different people who have had that happen to them this year. Ok a couple of what will probably be controversial points: Farscape killed itself. That web editorial by the ex SCI FI network exec was pretty spot on. Too many characters, too much turnover, to arcane of a plot. I missed a season, (due to SCI Fi constant shuffling, bad on Sci FI) and was going "who the hell are these people". Mini- series was great, If Farscape had gone that route, momentum would still be there. Firefly is a creation of the DVD. I watched Firefly when it was on TV, I liked Firefly, when I saw it, just that liked. On DVD everyone who sees it LOVES IT. Everyone I have leant the DVD to (which is almost everyone I know, hell I would lend them to strangers), experiences the same sleep deprivation because they cant stop watching. Firefly was meant to be watched without commerical interruptions, and with no extraneous interruptions. Blocks of Sci Fi shows seems to be the best course of action. I always bemoaned that Sci Fi shows seemed to be scheduled to play on Friday nights, when people are going out. One show no matter how good will keep people from not going out, at least every now and then. The Gigantic SCi Fi fest on now during Friday nights, the Stargates, and Battlestar, are a strong argument for me to reschedule events. Of course I have Tivo, so a moot point for me :) [/QUOTE]
