I should point out something here, everything coming out is a remake.

Oh, you noticed that, too?  It won't be long now before they start making remakes of really campy shows like The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, and.... Oh, wait a minute.....

It may just be that even though the Ratings were good, they weren't good enough to turn a profit.

This is the exact reason that the original Battlestar Galactica was cancelled. The high production costs forced the network to pull the plug. Ratings wise, it was the most watched show of its time. Celebrities were lining up to do walk on bit parts.
Unfortunately, qualtiy television costs money. Trash you can find, in the can outside, for free.

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)
can you imagine the production costs for a series based on SE4 would be, it would be highly rated like Galactica and some of the others, but would probably be cancelled because of costs, yet I would think with Tech today that graphics would be cheaper due to computers then the older ways

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)
Kwok, what do you consider the best Scifi series ever? Name another Scifi show were the ENTIRE CAST could act. Yeah...
TOS: Worse acting and writting than Lost in Space.
ST:TNG: No story arcs at all
Voyager: Sucked
DS9: Best Trek, even if it was a rip off of B5, actually people besides the Captain that could act, story lines were actually connected sometimes.
B5: Could never watch more than five minutes, the damn race of Napoleans freaked me out.

Get out of my sight!
And Napoleons? They weren't Napoleons! They were imperialistic!

You know I always liked "Space: Above and Beyond"......
It probally doesn't qualify for the bgest sci fi but it comes close for me.
