Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)
Hate to beat a dead horse, but here in Ontario they just put Farscape on syndication with ANOTHER set of TV stations.
So far, that makes 3 stations showing Farscape in Ontario (all of them are at different points in the series).
We get Farscape on TV on Monday at 8:00pm, Friday at 8:00pm and 9:00pm (twice with 2 different stations showing different episodes) Saturday at 3:00pm and Sunday 2:00pm (however, one Friday, Saturday and Sunday show the same episode).
I really believe that this show is finally taking off, 'Ratings' here are fairly high (as it is given very favorable timeslots). Unfortunately I beleive it will do a 'Star Trek' and really only take off after its cancellation. However, this might lead to what happened with a few other shows.
Star Trek started to go to the movies (possibly the Farscape season finale will be finished in a movie, or made for TV movie).
A Canadian show called Nikita (based off of the French la Femme Nikita) ended after so many years, but the fan base responded with a letter campaign that had them do another 1/2 season to finish off the show right, instead of the quick ending they had before.
So, Farscape may not be saved as it is, but it could come back if it does very well in syndication in different forms (movies, a short season to end the show, or a new series).
