because they were super cheap to make
I certainly believe Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus was cheap to make. The biggest cost must have been the stock footage. And however much money it cost to purchase the actors' souls.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
No idea how that fits in with the new SighFie image
I assume "makes money for the network" fits in pretty well to any corporate image.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The biggest cost must have been the stock footage.
Don't forget all those fancy chyrons. There were more locations than a typical X-Files episode!

I meant that I just don't know if their desired demos have changed.

Are we sure that Debbie Gibson still had one of those to sell? I've seen the "Shake Your Love" video, after all, and if it didn't take a deal with the Devil to make that a hit, I don't know how to explain it...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thrive to spite them
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus wasn't a Sci Fi Original it was direct to video. The big way to tell is the blanked out langauge. And the effects are usually better than this movie

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ok, so that's really obscure....
Was that from their KTMA days?
Indeed.
