This year, SCI FI became the largest producer of original movies in television, beating out all cable and broadcast networks, the channel announced. 2 things 1) The way TV ratings are gathered will not hit the SciFi demographic, so going by ratings is inapropriate. 2) Even given (1) it was Stargate which did it. I still believe that pulling Farscape was one of their biggest mistakes. Farscape was the best show on TV since Star Trek. The rumor is that they did not want to pay what the Henson co. was requesting. The change in managment that occured the year before droping Farscape is directly responsible. If you agree with these statments it wouldn't hurt to send letters to the channel. = _ Jan William Coffey _ __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
