Re: OT: Why are TV studios so stupid?

The original BSG was costing 2 million per episode (or about 5 million per episode today) and angered thrifty network executives. Then the added cost of fending off George Lucas's infringement lawsuit and countersuit just made the networks say "Screw it."

Enterprise suffered a similar fault as it's episodes for season one and two cost roughly 5 million each, but was reduced to 3 million after networks threatened to drop it mid season. And the 4th season only happened because the Viacom was forced to significantly reduce star trek licensing fees and advertising requirements.
