I was upset as well but the Sci-Fio Channel said it was due to low ratings. But they went and canceled this series even though it was one of the best that Sci-Fi had going for it. The same is said for Farscape.

I gave up on the Sci-Fi Network simply because they have no worthwhile shows, call Stargate SG-1 an original Sci-Fi show, which it ain't because it's an original Showtime, cancel good shows like Invisible Man and Farscape.

To be fair, it wasn't that great. When it was good it was good, but when it was bad it was just plain hokey. Hobbes deserves his own spin-off show though ;)

Quite right! That's the Invisible man I want - not this other stuff..

They can call it an original series because seasons 6-8 *are* original to the SF channel.

Then, of course, there's Stargate Atlantis, which is a true SFC Original Series. Not exactly outshining SG1, but keeping pace with it nicely so far.

Let's see....Battlestar Galactica 2005 starts in January. That looks very promising. And there's the Earthsea mini. (In fact, most of SFC's minis have been at least decent.)

Its true there was a time when there was nothing worthwhile on the SFC, but I think that is past now. The future is actually looking pretty decent.

Yeah, but she's awful at budgeting. We still haven't even finished watching them.

Hey I just caught this on Sci Fi in Uk rerun from the start - its not bad - its not great either but it passes an hour!! Certainly not the worst on the Sci Fi channel by a long shot- Special Unit 5 comes to mind - urgh!

Doyou mean special unit 2? or is special unit 5 something different? Special unit 2 was actually pretty funny from what I recall. It was an interesting mix of X-Files and Men in Black. Took place in Chicago (Chi-town) there was a gnome (or something similar) thief that was always "helping" but getting into more trouble.

Thats it - Special Unit 2! I knew it was somethin like that - I watched cos John DeLancey was in it but I have to admit I only watched a couple of episodes! yeah there was a gnome in it. I'm afraid it wasn't my cup of tea although it was amusing, but for me not for the right reasons! Each to their own though.
