Help save Farscape:

Its possible that most of you don`t know about the cancellation of the sci-fi series Farscape, and its also possible that some of you have never heard of Farscape at all. In this case, I`ll fill you in on what is happening:

The Sci-fi channel decided to cancel Farscape season 5 (allowing only season 4 to run to completion). They blame a drop in ratings, and high production costs. I`ve read around, and from what I can see, this is all rubbish. The production costs are lower than series such as Buffy and Enterprise, whilst the tv ratings have been amongst the leaders on the Sci-fi channel (at around number 2). Whatever the reason, the show is in trouble, and there are petitions and threads all over the place trying to save it. If you have any interest in the show, or have ever seen an episode and found it in anyway interesting, then please head to one of the addresses above. To find out more, simply put "Farscape News" into google.

Thanks to anybody who goes to those sites and helps out!

Not worth saving. The Original Star trek was better and that was poo!

Thanks again for that. There are a lot of people who do like the show though, so just keep out of it if you don`t like it.

Enterprise is alright, probably better than a lot of other Star Trek series, but none of them have the same variety of Farscape. The writers just don`t take the risks (and no, thats not why the show got cancelled).

It was supposedly due to a drop in ratings. Its a stupid reason though. The show was second in the ratings for a long time on Sci-fi, and if there was a drop at all, it was a) because there was a break between seasons 3 and 4, and b) because the channel deliberately kept switching the viewing times between 6 and 10, cutting the audiences themselves.

I haven`t read one valid reason yet, and think there must be something else behind it, but don`t know what. Hopefully though the show could be bought by other companies, as there are said to be talks going on already with other tv groups.
