K-9 on Syfy for Xmas

Mr. Adventure

Fleet Admiral

I see on Christmas Day that Syfy is marathoning the unofficial K-9 series. I know it's unofficial and maybe not the best but it might make for curiosity viewing while waiting for the Christmas series.
 
While I was flipping around the dial yesterday I came across K9 on BBC Kids here. Looked largely forgettable and didn't bother watching much.
 
I never got further than the pilot episode. I just didn't have enough interest beyond that.
I doubt I'll be tuning in to the marathon.
 
Watching the trailer alone killed off any interest I had in the show. Looked far too goofy and disconnected from the K-9 we all know and love.
 
I thought it was interesting counter-programming. It has to be a response to BBCA and Who because it's not a very typical program for Syfy, especially these days.
 
Saw it all.

Took at least 10 episodes till I became invested and the strange future world began to be explained. Enjoyed the love triangles, and the final battle was a bit of a laugh.

It's not awful.

This is supposed to be the further adventures of the original K9 who we last saw went to Gallifrey with Leela.
 
I have been curious to see this. I'll probably watch some and DVR the rest for later. I can't say I like the "regenerated" K-9 design, but it is John Leeson doing the voice, and that's the main draw.
 
I have seen the first ep. where K9 regenerates and battles the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle from outer space. :vulcan:
 
I knew this thing existed but never got around to seeing any of it. Found the trailer on YouTube. That's really all I needed to see. I think I get the gist of it.

This show is no longer in production correct?

EDIT: Here's another trailer that uses the music from the Star Trek (2009) trailer.
 
This show is no longer in production correct?

It's not currently in production, and it's been two and a half years since the last episode aired, but the producers are reportedly developing a second season. However, there's been no news on that since June, and apparently ratings and reviews for the first season were disappointing. So it's sort of up in the air, I guess.
 
Hmm, I just caught the pilot on Lovefilm. It wasn't great, the acting, the story, the new K-9 were all bleurgh.

But the accents were truly awfull. They are some of the worst British accents I have heard.

If the cast is British then they are putting on appalling accents for the overseas market.
