It is often worse than that. Look at Firefly - shown out of order and
pulled from air before they had shown all the episodes of that series
(11 out of 14 broadcast). That was Fox, again. That is something I can
hardly imagine the BBC (or for that matter commercial TV in Britain)
doing to a new drama series they were showing.
Maybe not most types of drama, but sci fi dramas occasionally get badly
treated in the UK as well (like how Channel 4 put the final season of
Babylon 5 on in the small hours of the morning, didn't bother to tell
any one that it was even on, and kept changing the day and time it was
on). If Firefly was a straight western instead of a "western in space"
then Fox might have treated it better.
