It just so happens I wrote about that very show at the end of January! A quote from my post:

“Sci Fi is picking up this seasoned show and it will be the first TV series to use live actors against virtual sets, in much the same way 300 and Sin CIty were done.”

Tv these days plays to a dumbed down audience more so these days because they can subterfuge subliminal ads that only the truly dumbed down folks will pay attention to.
Smart people click the mute button on ads and Tivo over commercials.

When was the last time you saw an ad for a random drug and called your doctor to see if that would be good to try. (Never!). Only truly dumbed down retards fall for that.

Tv in general IMO is the False Prophet reffered to in Revelations.

Happy Easter!

Movies these days seem like they are almost all geared to get as much action as possible, as many explosions as possible, and and much sex as possible into the movie, and the movie makers don’t seem to care about developing the characters or writing a decent story any more.

TV networks don’t give shows a decent chance to find an audience before canceling them, or bouncing them to a new time slot, without any warning. Then these shows are replaced with “reality” shows. This so-called alternative programming is becoming so prevalent these days that it almost seems like the scripted shows are becoming the real alternative programming. When a show does become successful, more often than not it does so because it appeals to the desire most people have to not be required to pay attention to it to enjoy it. More and more often, it seems, people don’t want to have to think about the shows they watch, and networks are more than happy to oblige.

As for radio, I’ve recently lost the one station in my city that I found worth listening to because the marketing directors decided that the station would be better off as a dance/rap station than as a jazz station. The fact that virtually every other station in the city has the same format seemed to tell them that that was what we all wanted to listen to, and all the people who want to listen to jazz around here aren’t even considered.

Every form of entertainment these days seems to be geared more and more toward mimicking what everyone else is doing, and less and less toward trying to do something creative and intelligent. Every year, I find myself watching less TV, watching fewer movies, and I’m no longer even listening to the radio anymore.

I now find myself wondering how much longer it will be before this trend backfires on these industries.

Seriously pickup Journeyman and Jericho you idiots.
And get rid of these generic reality shows.

At this point Spike channel plays better sci-fi.

I love sci-fi and would love to watch sci-fi ON the Sci-Fi Channel. Unfortunately I’m not at all interested in ‘reality’ TV & the mutant movies are all the same except for the mutant, so with so few actually decent quality sci-fi series on the Sci-Fi Channel, I don’t watch it much at all anymore.

There are plenty of ‘generic’ channels & networks, why does Sci-Fi Channel want to be another one of those?? By trying to attract everyone, they’re losing their fanbase.

Doesn’t seem like the most logical plan to strengthen & grow a network/channel to me…

Sci-fi channel gauges there programing toward a younger audience by running reality shows. This in turn turns off the channel for older viewers. While in the meantime consumers like me sit back and see this all going on and just go buy the dvd when the shows been canceled. I don’t even subscribe because most of the shows on sci-fi I allready own on dvd or suck so bad that I won’t subscribe.

The sucking sound comes from the reality tv show.

So the channel trying to micro-manage every single demograhpic in terms of viewing habits is WAY OFF the mark….

Good job morons.

I’m not saying ALL of one or the other, it’s just a generality that seems to drive the marketing, advertising realm.

That’s a good question. It’s the older viewers who actually have the money to spend on the products pitched by advertisers.

On the other hand it could be due to the fact that younger viewers buy stuff on their credit cards with no thought of how they’ll pay for it.

They must not want mature females either, since they haven’t renewed the Dresden Files & it’s audience had a slight majority of women in the 25 – 54 demographic.

Why is the entertainment world so fixated on younger viewers??

Deputized sounds alot like Dr Who or Cap Jack of Torchwood.

The way I see it, why bother watching new shows on the SciFi channel when even one of their shows (Dresden) that got ratings comparable to those of Battlestar Galactica’s was cancelled after only one short season? There’s just no way. I don’t care how “interesting” SciFi claims their new line-up is going to be. I have no faith in them keeping anything worth watching.

Why? Because some years ago, (Before the newest Star Wars trilogy), I was at a party in my ultra cool Darth Vader costume, and a little kid came up to me and asked me which ninja turtle I was. I wanted to use the force Luke!!

That’s my funny moment for the day.

And Babylon 5 reruns is not a bad idea either Quinn.

When I read the description, the first thing that came to mind was “Greatest American Hero.” Whether this will be any good, though, I can’t begin to guess, but it’s one of only two that I’m curious about, the second being Caprica.

Beyond those, Sci-Fi Channel seems like they’re just going to continue the trends that have kept me from having any interest in watching them. Too bad.

Maybe we should organize a spoon campaign for Sci-Fi, or better yet, just send letters.

I miss The Tick… but alas, that cursed Nielsen box strikes again!

Journeyman would be a great idea.. dang.. I even saw the woman who played his wife, Gretchen Egolf, in a semi-bit part on Medium.. sigh.. almost like the last nail in a shows coffin when they show up in bit parts.. Next, we’ll probably see her in a Law and Order episode!
