However, most tend to flop, and end up on the latest CSI spinoff.

Meh, I just figure they get bored. Hollywood is always very interested in generating buzz for their movie by hireing TV stars opposite their favorite cinematic standbys.

Maybe some actors, producers, media moguls and other people just like killing TV shows to show how powerful they are.

Great acting is always relative in Sci-Fi TV...

Yes, is great acting reporting to Sci-Fi (not like Hamlet)

I have the solution!

Get 5 sci-fi shows from writers all across the nation, put them under vigorus Effects test and private paneling, then showcase them in front of a jury and let the viewers choose what they want!

Le's call it Starwars-Wannabe!

... nah. can't do that. Won't make enough money.

hi

just my opinion but the original outer limits,

who can take any sci-fi seriously where the aliens all talk like american yuppies,

i thought star trek had to be the one of the dummest shows ever.
harlan ellison said they managed to screw up the few episodes he wrote for them.

outer limits was very fresh and original then and still hold up well.
