You are probably right about BSG. The wild thing I feel is a I know many people including myself since invention of the remote control they never watch the commericals. Sometimes if I am up to it (other than when shows like Jericho and Firefly are and were on) sometimes I will watch two shows. Never did that when they were on because they trully have and had substance. The other thing I must mention is when I watch at least for me they must have some sort of integrity to them. For example I watched on TCM the movie Big Country. Love it. Truly a classic because everything that is brought up in that movie still applies to today. Not that people have those values and morals but it still holds up. When I watched it so hard for me to believe that it was made in 1958. 50 years later still as good as the first time I saw as a little girl. Again thank you for your comment!!!

It would be nice to see the two shows reappear on a Cable network where they can be high quality without the pressures of network. . . pressure. While the nets tend to serve the broad base, the cable channels only have to worry about appealing to their niche. Methinks Battlestar Galactica would have been canceled after episode three if it aired on NBC instead of Sci-Fi. Georgian101: I, too miss Cap’n Tightpants as well as the b-list Johnny Depp (Skeet!).

These two shows really got the shaft. Both are well writen stories with a great cast. Both of them were truly a bright light in a sea of mediocre and cloned programming. I can say that I am truly disgusted with network programming. When Jericho first aired it my return to one of the three original networks. Could not tell you the last time I watched anything from ABC and NBC the last thing I can remember that I watched was Miami Vice and Night Court. The last time I watched any programming from CBS was 1992. Fox and Cable came on around that time and I fled the original three. I look for something that is original, different, and out side the box!!! That is why I stuck with Fox for a long time as well as the SCI FI channel as far as shows. But after how they handled Dark Angel and FireFly I had not watched them for a couple of years. Just recently I tuned in On Sarah Conner Chronicles( Terminator Fan) and was pleased and the only other Fall show I am looking foward to is Fringe. I also have a lot of friends who watch FX. The problem with all of them is they DO NOT ALLOW shows like the above for mention to develop!!! All I can say is that number 1 this time it really left a sour taste and 2 I will not be back for a longtime it lasted 14 years for CBS before I returned. The originally three need to realize that times have changed and that they are not the only game in town. I just wanted to let you know that I really miss Jericho as well as Firefly.

At least that's the way it seems. Summer TV has never been particularly good, and this summer has had the semi-good Olympics followed up with two bland political conventions. Fall will be upon us and we'll have one or two shows to look forward through while suffering through the dregs of entertainment. curlybean: “Right now” is a continuation of the deserted playground of television, meaning it’s still in a holding pattern from the Writers strike.
