Evidently so<\/a>.<\/p>\nI thought SciFi was trying to become something other than a “rerun” channel, but with this current decision to cancel the best original show, by far, on their schedule (and, frankly, the best show they’ve got, new or repeat), it’s clear that the “We’ve got all the episodes we need to sell this package” mentality rules there.<\/p>\n
If you are interested in getting them to change their minds, drop a line to:<\/p>\n
Bonnie Hammer, Senior Vice President of Programming
\nc\/o Sci-Fi Channel
\n1230 Avenue of the Americas, F115
\nNew York, NY 10020-1513<\/p>\n
Or call them at 212-413-5000<\/b>. Be polite and professional, but be sure and also include the demographic you represent (age, gender, race, occupation).<\/p>\n
Avoid calling them blithering greed-heads, even if that’s what they are.<\/p>\n
And act quickly — the production company plans on starting to tear down within the next week.<\/p>\n
