Who knows.. I think the head hounchos at Sci-Fi are proof that TV execs have no brains at all.. They should have kept it on Friday Nights at 10/9..
I think it will be back one more season (4 seasons is good enough for Battlestar), followed by a Sci-Fi movie (like they did with Farscape)..

I hope that they can get another season out of it. Sci-Fi is simply not going to pull major ratings but the show has been mostly good. It's fairly dark and depressing so it's hard to get people to warm to it.
This week's looks lame.....

sunday night is usually the best night for television viewership.
But also, SCIFI execs tend to be idiots when it comes to programming.

Depends...what drugs and what channel???
SCIFI execs have a gift - ruin good shows with bad scheduling and replace them with bad shows and even worse movies.

I mean hardcore drugs like coke... Any network exec...
Well they spend their money on quality shows, and on weekends they show such "classic" movies such as Savage Planet (Basically a planet with killer Bears on it) and somehow think that wrestling is somehow sci-fi.....
If it wasn't for Eurka, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar I would not be watching the SCI-FI channel...

A lousy 1.4 rating for BSG last week.That's about what it's been getting. A 1.4 is pretty good considering it was up against the football game.
To: KevinDavis
I think it will be back one more season (4 seasons is good enough for Battlestar), followed by a Sci-Fi movie (like they did with Farscape)..4 seasons is good for any TV show these days.

One evening we had Mexican wrestling on half a dozen cable channels, including Sci-Fi ~ plus two broadcast outlets also picked up on the cable had Mexican wrestling with costumed midgets.
I think the stupidity of TV executives is not really the issue ~ rather, it's the spread of Mexican culture to television. Somebody out there loves Mexican wrestling.

Well SCIFI has a history of moving around good shows, stop showing them completely for months at a time, and then complaining about slipping ratings when they brought them back on. They did it with farscape and then ended up putting on....scare tactics. Yeah, that's scifi, guys!
Hopefully they'll keep from messing with eureka - it's a good show so far.
If they stopped making the Crappy CGI Movie Of The Week they might be able to afford another original show or two.
