Maybe SyFy canceled Caprica because it has nothing to do with hunting ghosts or professional wrestling.

They dropped it because the ratings sucked. And probably the DVD sales weren’t very good. Bad ratings can be forgiven if the DVD sells well, but bad ratings and bad sales will kill it quick. It’s too bad, it was a good show, but from the first frames it had no mass appeal.

You nailed it! Ever since SciFi became SyFy, the network
slid further and further away from science fiction programming. Drives the hubby crazy!!!!!

The name should be changed to GhostHorror Channel.

There were no characters named “Snooki”.

It was the ratings. Viewership for new episodes was UNDER 1 million and closer to half-a-million.

SG-U's ratings are just slightly better, so it is in 'renewal' jeopardy.

I’m sensing SERIOUS budget problems at syfy. The shows keep getting cheaper and cheaper to make, and farther away from the sci-fi genre.
