They've probably got the Sarah Jane Adventures, but that's not going to be back for a bit, either. As I said on someone else's journal, SciFi seems to see it's viewership as the comic guy from the Simpson. They don't understand a lot of us are in that golden demographic all the stations are vying for. We bring the advertiser, thus bring the station money. Apparently someone was asleep in How To Not Run A Network Like Jordan Levin. Networks seem to not understand that the 1950s model is so out of date it's not even funny.
It occurred to me a minute ago that I wonder if part of the reason they canceled SGA is the monetary repercussions of buying Lost. You know it wouldn't be cheap, since it's playing on ABC. Of course what they fail to realize is that Lost seems to be losing fans after each season and not picking the numbers back up. I know they lost me halfway through Season 2. And I've no need to watch SJA or Who on SciFi. I can just buy the sets from the UK and play them on my Mac.
They keep buying canceled shows, too. Like Joan of Arcadia, which I loved, but it was only 2 seasons long. And that charlie Jade show. That Wolf Creek one. They're wasting more money by not investing in their own productions. I knew that SGA would be canceled once they got the 100 episodes. What surprises me is the lack of professionalism the networks displays repeatedly. If this were an average office job, the blunders would land someone fired. Unless they were a part of the family and couldn't be.
