Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Sci-Fi and its Ripley's Believe It or Not can go jump. However those Sat. Nite schlock movies still will probably draw me in. Like watching a car crash.

I've been a bit miffed at them for all the money they spent to get Stargate when they could have kept Farscape going on much less then that and two other shows, besides.

Wow, I was miffed at them for wasting even a second of airtime on Farce Cape, a show whose appeal is unfathomable (uinless you are just crazy about screaming, excessive makeup, and muppets). Bringing in two of the leftovers from that mess (especially tedious Ben Browder) to SG-1 was the final nail in the coffin.

I stopped watching SG1 when Richard Dean Anderson left. And I found the last season in which he appeared disappointing; he was already giving himself much less of a role.

I think the article was correct, too, in suggesting that USA is winning that slot with Monk. I have never watched Battlestar Galactica, so its presence or abcsence in the lineup has had no effect on whether I watch Stargate.

Painkiller Jane made it to a series?

Farscape was brilliant, great writing, great bad guys.
Most folks don't get it because it is very complex, and very deep.
If it was so bad, why has every SciFi show written after it take major elements from the show?
Just as Red Dwarf was ripped off by the Star Trek franchise, Farscape was ripped by BSG, SG1, and Atlantis.

Farscape was THE best Sci Fi Show out there. Hands down. I bought all the seasons on DVD and the finale mini series (which, admittedly, was not as good). Too bad it did not continue. *sigh*

Farscape was great. . .there is really not that much originality in scifi since most story concepts have been done so yes it was similiar to past scifi stuff but IMHO it was done well. . .the ending wasn't as good, probably because it was kinda abruptly ending and maybe pieced together but still was good compared to a LOT of cr*p that scifi channel keeps on. . .they have bad movies and bad original series. . .

Why does Spike have Startrek instead of Sci-Fi?
