Shows that had potential but didn't last long or just plain bombed..

1. Firefly -- Loved it from the start, but Fox screwed it up big time.

2. Earth 2 -- To PC for my taste.

3. Andromeda -- Good concept until Kevin Sorbo took over.

4. Space Above and Beyond -- Fox screwed it up.

A big thanks goes to Visualops for the Banner!!

“Lost” is all that’s left for me in primetime. But I have all 48 episodes of “Space:1999” on DVD.

So when is 90210 meets starfleet coming out?

Fringe— great show. Earth 2 sucks. Andromeda was ok but kind of dumb.

I missed “Primeval” last Friday - what’s it like? What’s it about? I did see clips from the new SG-Universe, and it looks pretty dark and dismal. Any thoughts on any of these?

Some news from the TV news websites:

Kings is facing cancellation. However, the remaining episodes will be broadcast on Saturday nights.

Chuck, holding in the ratings, may be cancelled because NBC is giving 5 primetime hours to Leno next fall and may need the room for other programming. If so, The CW has indicated it might pick up Chuck.

Sarah Connor is probably not going to be renewed.

Fox may do another pull before the series finishes: Dollhouse. It may get pulled before the final episode(s).

Fringe will probably be renewed for next season.

Primeval season 3 has begun in the UK.

Dollhouse had I believe its first worthwhile episode last Friday. The NSA interest, the break-out of Echo, the weirdness of the head of the corp being a customer, and the insertion of the message into one of the dolls all made for a good platform for future gov’t intelligence involvement (why wasn’t this the case in the first place?).

You guys totally missed that that BBC aired a new Dr Who special yesterday and again today.

So I watched 3 of the 5 hours of Kings that were on SciFi last week. I missed the two-hour pilot, which made it confusing later on. For one thing, it's filmed in NYC and I can recognize that fact, so it took a while to realize that it wasn't set in the US. A bit confusing.

Not bad, but then I'm wondering, if they needed to show it on SF to get an extra audience, it probably isn't doing too well on NBC. This kind of cross-promotion didn't help Christian Slater's last show.

Funny thing about Andromeda: I liked the pre-event horizon cast that all died off. I never really liked the regular cast. (Except Rommy, of course.)

Fire Fly was very good. Serenity was excellent.

SAAB nailed it because it was about the people...not the special effects. Very similar to Battlestar, which made it way before it’s time.

Battlestar... this show is now the pinnacle of TV SciFi. That it had to end is regretful. That the writers/producers understood that it’s excellence lie in the fact that it had to have a natural, storyline ending rather than a ratings ending is one of the most commendable, brilliant acts in TV SciFi history.
