Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think they're on a similar break to Angel. As in, not tonight.

Finally finished BG:2003. The original wasn't set in an Earth future?

The original wasn't set in an Earth future?
That was never clearly established in the original series, but if the awful, shortlived second series - Galactica 1980 - counts as canon, no. The Galactica finally arrived, at Earth, after voyage of at least a couple of generations, to find an Earth less technologically advanced than they were.
It was kind of a dumb series, and died a quick, deserved death.

I have a plan.
Nope, but it did have an underlying Egypt-motif that I kind of miss in this newer one.

All is well that ends in pizza.
From Zap2 it:
'Six Million Dollar Man' Meets 'Jake 2.0'
Frankly, we're surprised this bit of stunt casting took so long.
Lee Majors, the original technologically advanced TV hero, will guest star on UPN's "Jake 2.0" Wednesday (Dec. 17). The former "Six Million Dollar Man" will team with next-gen bionic man Jake Foley (Christopher Gorham) for the episode.
The episode, titled "Double Agent," finds Jake, whose nanite-infested body has extraordinary powers, on the trail of a former KGB agent (guest star Barbara Tyson). When she eludes him, the NSA calls in retired agent Richard "Dick" Fox, who was a legend in his time, to work with Jake in tracking down Dankova.
Series creator Silvio Horta and executive producer David Greenwalt ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel") wrote the episode.
Majors played bionic man Steve Austin in "The Six Million Dollar Man" from 1974 to '78. He starred in "The Fall Guy" in the early and mid-1980s and has worked steadily since then in features and television.

Huh. Now that I know it's not an earth future -- damn the costumers are lazy.
And people bitched about Firefly's costuming.

Boomtown comes back (briefly) according to Zap2it:
NBC Sets 'Boomtown' Blowout Bonanza (Thursday, December 11 04:17 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The critically admired, but ratings starved drama "Boomtown" is set to make a fleeting return to NBC's schedule at the end of December. The network will air all four remaining new episodes of the drama in a two-night marathon on Saturday, Dec. 27 and Sunday, Dec. 28. Saturday, Dec. 27 will find NBC showing three consecutive unaired episodes of "Boomtown." The night will begin with the episode titled "Wannabe" at 8 p.m. ET, followed by "Haystack" at 9 p.m.. The night concludes with "The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang."
The next evening, NBC will present "The Big Picture" at 10 p.m. That episodes contains cameos by Virginia Madsen and the one and only Howard Hesseman.
All four unseen episodes feature guest star Vanessa Williams, who was recruited to try to turn Graham Yost's cop drama into a popular success in its sophomore season. After averaging more than 10 million viewers per night on Sundays last season, "Boomtown" shifted to Fridays this year. Only two episodes aired this season, averaging only 7.2 million viewers between them. NBC put "Boomtown" on hiatus in early October and moved "Third Watch" into its place in the schedule, where the John Wells drama has noticeably aided Friday ratings.
The network officially pulled the plug on the show in early November

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I liked Boomtown. Sadly, it had Jason Gedrick in the cast, so it was sort of a miracle that it got a whole season at all. His series always get cancelled.
Also, Friday night = kiss of death yet again. (Not that Firefly wouldn't have sold its eyeteeth to get those ratings.)
