I don't know what's more annoying: when FOX cancels a fantastic show, like Firefly or Wonderfalls, that just ends up being too intelligent and quirky for the masses, or when FOX cancels a mediocre show, like John Doe or Tru Calling, that is interesting enough to tolerate but formulaic enough for the masses to enjoy. I almost feel like the latter shows at least stood a chance to succeed.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Heh, I was just catching House the other day, and caught the guy who played John Doe as a guest star, and was grousing that it got cancelled.
And now Wolfram has me grousing that the show wasn't better than it was (which probably would have only killed it quicker in the friday night death slot).

I don't think it's that much of a tragedy when mediocre shows get cancelled... they just didn't excite enough of the potential viewership to stay on. It's the really brilliant ones that only appeal to a few million people that I feel bad about losing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Has anybody (Consuela?) ever seen a Farscape script, as opposed to a transcript? Are they full of amusing stage directions?

I have a script for Won't Get Fooled Again, and for, um. John Quixote, I think. I forget about the stage directions, and I'm too lazy to go look.
That's a sad article. I'm not that sad.

People like Craig Parker and Sala Baker were at DragonCon last year. I think it's fascinating to hear them talk.
Also, that article doesn't really mention any of the myriad problems with Creation that I've heard about.
