RE: Couch Potatoes of the World Unite! TV part III
I don't think the Sci-Fi channel would really go anywhere, personally, but that's just me.
I loved Dead Like Me, it was amazing. I didn't even know they were trying to do anything else with it. But it was one of the best shows on TV. As for Jericho, I didn't notice that at all, I watched it all back-to-back and it felt very consistent to me personally. I just wish they had more episodes to delve into the other cities' stories.
As for discovering them on DVD, well, I don't watch anything on TV so networks can't really count on me for that. I will discover a show while it's still running if it lasts many seasons, of course, but I always watch on DVD only. I never pirate anything, either, ever, I've never seen a pirated TV show before. I was tempted on one of the Smallville episodes, but decided the quality would be not quite good enough and I wanted to enjoy it for real on DVD so I waited. I think there are quite a few people like me now days. I don't really understand the whole seeing things on TV as they air dealie, I can't be that connected to the TV. I like to watch what I want to watch, when I feel like watching it, and that's only possible on DVD

RE: Couch Potatoes of the World Unite! TV part III
GForce emailed me the following and asked me to pass it on, since he's very occupied today. The sources are two cast members of Stargate Atlantis:
The sources for the following are two members of the Stargate Atlantis cast as well as something very similar from another NBC/SciFi Channel employee:
And So it Begins!!!
Well more bad news was just checking the myspace and I noticed this on the BBoard:
NBC SCIFI Channel Mark Stern has killed STARGATE ATLANTIS
Body: STARGATE ATLANTIS cancelled by Mark Stern & SCIFI Channel
Grr!
There it goes. Once again by Mark Stern NBC Sci FI channel, the same person who played a part in being responsible for instigating the writers strike fiasco that ruined everything on you last year, cancels & kills nearly all of your favorite shows, SG-1, Farscape, BSG, Dresden, etc, and the person who shovels all those poor quality junk sci fi channel movies like Frankenfish and reality gameshows like who cares who wants to be a superhero at you instead of the good quality programming you liked.
Well, if you didn't write letters to the addresses on our site, then now maybe you'll get the idea that this person Mark Stern needs to be removed. If you didn't realize that Mark Stern at Sci Fi channel has been turning the entire genre of Sci Fi into garbage and sequentially killing or tainting all your shows, then perhaps this will finally awaken you. And you'll take a stand against this 1 man wrecking ball of incompetence over there. And to those who've written, time to write again. And to those who wrote 10 letters, time to do 20. And 100 make it 200. Whatever was done before, time to double it. There's no giving up in Stargate.
Donnie died in June.
(
You knew him as George. General Hammond of Texas.
He was a great guy, those of you who met Donnie perhaps at one of the conventions know that he was a fan favorite. Unlike the character he played, Donnie was the life of the party. Laughing. Joking. He really truly loved all of you.
Mark Stern cancelled Stargate SG-1 in august of 2006. Now Donnie, General Hammond, has died, and will never get to see or be in Stargate SG-1 again, even if (when!) it returns. Since Stern failed to respond to your wishes and the wishes of all the people of the world, the chance for Donnie to be in it is now passed. Science Fiction is what allows all of us to escape reality and let our imagination fly free to explore all that can be. Sadly unlike science fiction, where Dr. Beckett can return, this chance is gone. Donnie sadly won't be coming back.
Universe has a go. But it won't be the same.
Adieu
Please join me in sending them (or NBC, the parent company) an avalanche of protests. I have this address for Sci Fi, but don't know if it's the right one:
SCIFI.COM
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, NY 10112
