"In development" doesn't mean a series commitment but how could anyone pass on Kevin Sorbo and Lee Majors.
ORION might work though if they give it to Katee Sackkoff.
Those all sound wonderfully terrible.
Bring back Firefly.

Orion sounds fun. I like Campy Space Opera!
And bring back Wash and Book.
I’d watch Legendary, Human Relations, and Zeros.
... and FarScape... no... bonnie hammer will never allow decent and forward thinking programming on again.

Without “MEGA PIRANHA; THE SERIES”, life just doesn’t seem worth it...
Several of these new SyFy programs are 30-minute programs.
Several of them sound like real duds, but I have been surprised that wrestling and ghost hunters get as many viewers as they do.

Mary the Psychic received the lowest ratings of all rated cable programs the night of her premier.
I wonder whether she saw that one coming. If so, she should have informed SyFy not to bother.
I totally agree. I watched a few episodes of Firefly over the weekend on Netflix. This was a great show. That’s the story of my life, if I like a show it gets cancelled. Firefly, Heroes, Life, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica.
Well, they killed off Wash, and the good Shepard really died.
Canceling Firefly was the Fox Network’s greatest mistake. It has been over five years and people are still filled with lament. I believe it would have been Joss Whedon’s best show.
I recently watched Buffy and Angel, Whedon’s two longer playing shows. They both started out slow but neither one of them came up to the level of Firefly. I keep wondering what would have happened if we had gotten four or five seasons of Firefly. Because of Fox, we’ll probably never know.
(And yes, I know there are Firefly comic books.)
I’m not interested until they come up with a futuristic version of the Beverly Hillbillies.
Syfy, in general, presents some of the worst acting on TV. I’d rather watch ‘em chop onions on the food channel.
I’m looking forward to season 4 of Primeval!!
I saw the last three episodes and was hooked. That means it had to be canceled because I liked it. I know titanicsuccess thinks it is he but I can almost guarantee it was I who killed the series.
I wish they could bring back stargate SG-1.
