^ I love Some New Shit. That's the greatest show ever!

^^Nah...not enough arc, too stand alone.
I wish they'd air them all in a row. You could pretty much get three shows airing on Friday night a year. SGU/Caprica/Some new shit.
The ratings for all three shows suffered and got them canceled as a result. D'oh!!!!
Killing my interest? No. So far, SGU hasn't really made much of an impact on me. I'll watch it when it returns in April, of course.
However, I do not see the logic of these stupid extended hiatuses Sci-Fi or Syfy seems to insist in having for mid-season breaks in recent years. SGU will have a 5 month mid season hiatus, which seems unnecessary. I understand taking a break in December for Christmas, but the show should return at some point this month. There's no reason for five months.
This is not the first time something like this has been done. While I understand the seven month hiatus during BSG's fourth season was a result of the writer's strike, there's still the issue of the six month hiatus during SG-1's 10th season and Atlantis season 3, which had no logical reason either. Especially since in that case, other countries aired the second half of those seasons well before Sci-Fi did.
But, whatever. I'm just a working class-stiff who never attended university. Surely a television network has people with much more education than me making these kind of desicions.
They've got 5 current scripted shows..SGU, Sanctuary, Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Caprica. With a reboot of Alienation, plus a Steven King show in the works. Whether they'll try keeping 7 originals hours going within a single year, is questionable. Probably will bring an existing show to an end, then order the next one into production.![]()
the last episode aired a most interesting cliffhanger ending--with the promise that something really different was about to happen.
