The next time I read a web page, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as considerably as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, but I basically believed youd have some thing interesting to say. All I hear is usually a bunch of whining about a thing which you could fix when you werent too busy looking for attention.

The world needs more scifi TV shows! Not everyone likes: American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Ruby, Rock of Love Charm School, Law and Order, CSI, 16 and Pregnant, America’s Got Talent, Cash Cab, and COPS. All of these shows are too much like real life… and who the hell wants more real life than what we all live everyday! At least during some good scifi tv I can forget about real life and live somewhere else during some other time…. SYFY, FOX, and NBC – KEEP’EM COMIN’ :)

With the many posts referencing the interests and failures of generational space ships story lines like the recent demise of Virtuality by Fox and the upcoming Stargate Universe I offer two stores that need to be produced and brought to life: one which has been done before but needs a facelift to move it forward so as to take advantage of modern CGI and some new skilled screen writers is “StarLost.”

Starlost has great potential built into its plot line.

And the other is from a book I read many years ago which I forget the title (I’m sure it is a Sci-Fi classic) about a young man who finds himself the captain of a small generational space freight liner operating on the fringe of economical disaster (Firefly like). The young man become captain by virtue of the fact all other members of his family have died which make his continued operation of the freighter illegal due to safety regulations (he hides the fact that he is operating the ship alone from the authorities). The story line takes off when he makes a deal with a very much larger and economically successful freighter to take on some of their younger crew (who jump at the opportunity because of their restricted futures on their own family owned generational ship due to the large number of family members who are holding back their road to advancement).
I know individual tastes in Sci-Fi are very subjective but in what possible world can Eureka be renewed and the Sci-Fi version of the 60ties show (Kyle XY) get dropped, oh right, this world!

To the many critics of ENT I say the next possible follow-up should be a Star Trek Temporal Police version because ENT laid the frame work for just such a series.

As for the many other prematurely canceled shows in the last few years (Carnival, Charlie Jade, Day Break Firefly, Grand Star, Harsh Realm, New Amsterdam, …) I’m sure there is some crime associated with their cancelation and we need the Temporal Police to go back and investigate this matter.

No wonder I watch so many movies and documentaries instead of TV shows.

#14 – In case you haven’t noticed over the past few years… a number of networks (like Sci-Fi and FOX) have been programming half-season schedules with popular shows rotating in and out of the schedule.

CHUCK is NOT a mid-season replacement. It is a series that will air after the Winter Olympics, when HEROES ends its 13 episode run in the fall.

This is no different than USA Network airing 13 episodes of PSYCH per year, or Sci-Fi airing only 13 episodes of EUREKA per year. Its a new programming thing that most of the networks are glomming onto for some unghodly reason.

Renewed series ARE NOT replacements. Remember that.

A show that ends its run by concluding its storyline is not defined as CANCELLED.

Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi. Was not cancelled. Its ended its story and concluded. Hardly a cancellation.

The ending of Galactica is what made the show tolerable in the last season.

Why was PAUL GROSS (the Devil in the Witches of EASTWICK show) never cast to play SUPERMAN? His name was mentioned for the role way back in the 1990s. He would have been perfect. In fact, if they want an older Superman, he would be perfect now
