This story really got me thinking. Why doesn't Sci-Fi produce more of their own content? Is it money? That can't be it because they're owned by NBC Universal which has deep enough pockets to finance whatever they want. It must be the number of viewers, the dreaded ratings problem. I mean Heroes belongs on Sci Fi but it runs on NBC where it can and will get way more viewers. After BSG goes away next year I'm afraid there will be nothing left worth watching on Sci Fi.
Personally I think they should go after some of the good Sci Fi-oriented game titles that are out there for a show basis. How's about a Halo-based series or Mass Effect? Or how's about a show based in the Half Life universe. These shows could be animated, live action or CGI. Basing a show on these game properties would be bring in the younger viewers that seem to be missing from Sci Fi's other shows.
