I wish I had your confidence in this. I keep thinking of how every time a UK show gets imported to the US it loses 30 IQ points and gets set in New York City even if the original took place in the remote countryside.

Well, maybe not ALL of them. And even though BSG is a U.S. show to begin with - I assume - but I'm afraid the equivalent could happen to it on the migration from cable to network. Or worse -

This week - viewers call in to choose whether Boomer or Tigh gets thrown off the Galactica!
(on edit I see Sadlittleking was ahead of me here. Heh.)

Just because something is successful as-is doesn't mean some empty suit won't poo all over it trying to make it "better". In fact I'd imagine success makes that more of a risk, since the execs would like to take credit for it and, therefore, scent-mark it.
