[QUOTE="Hand of Evil, post: 2125058, member: 371"] Word of mouth - The show alienated its fan base and for the most part made enemies (maybe a bad word to use) of the hardcore ST fans, which did go about ripping the show where they could and that showed in reviews, so, yes. Everyone had a idea what the new show should be like, even I, with Captian Logs. This goes back to fan base. And that is the failing of the internet: Information/opinion from anyone and you don't have a clue who they really are, their background or if they have an adgenda. ;) The reason why it was cancelled, cost to produce vs companies to advertise. It does not matter how good or bad a show is, if you don't have viewers, you can't sell commercial time, companies want the biggest bang for their buck, hit shows mean more people see your ads and a network can charge more for the spot. There is a lot of disagreement with Neilsen rating but it is the one used. [/QUOTE]
