lol.

Well unfortunately Sci-fi are a bit more short sighted.......also i'm not sure any of people running Sci-fi can actually like science fiction........just an observation.

Jericho: 7 episodes with the possibility of more. Essentially, they can still make enough money to cover production costs and make a profit, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to listen to the fan response.

SG1: 20 episodes, costs more than the previous series because cast and crew are signed on a year by year basis. Low ratings that continue to drop. Eventually SG1 was going to start costing more to produce than it would bring in through advertising.

Not enough said, if you are implying that the complaints about SG-1's cancelation were just the same as the complaints about Jericho.

The size of the Jericho response was massive. The size of the SG-1 cancellation response was tiny in comparison.

As someone else said Jericho is also in a very different lifestage of the show, both financially and creatively.

WOAH! I never even heard it was brought back. Hell, I didn't even know there was a response. I didn't even know if it was popular. Man, this made my day! W00T!

Waaayyyy more viewers watch CBS then watch Scifi.

Jericho also had 1 season...SG1 had 10. That's a great run for TV no matter what the network. Now the last half of the season did seem to pick back up with the new characters, but it was a couple years late. Plus starting the season when the networks did instead of running during the off periods didn't help, not to mention moving BSG to another night.

And there will be some made for TV movies, maybe a mini-series now and again, so there is still life left and that might be the best way to do it too.

Again, SG1 had a good run, leave it be.

They're DVD movies not made for TV

Comparing apples to oranges.

That makes no sense, I think the actual meaning of that idiom escapes you.

Very obvious if you've even remotely seen any of the movies they've made.

Actually it makes a lot sense. Maybe it just escapes you.

LOL! Very true, my friend. Very true indeed.

As a campaigner myself and someone who works in mkt and pr in entertainment and after hearing a few bits of info not privy to the general public, I think this was a pr stunt by CBS. Just my own opinion.

But if not, I have to say that Jericho was a network show.....CBS has MILLIONS more viewers than Sci Fi. And if not, well congrats to the campaign.

No, apples and oranges is an expression that means two thing that can't be compared, in the context of what I said, that makes no sense. You could accuse me of getting in to semantics, but that's about it.
