I bailed on any interest in Syfy (we pronounce it seefee) years back, but not because of comedic sci-fi. In fact, comedic sci-fi has a long history, including such amazing works as Hitchhiker's, White Dwarf, Lost in Space and Firefly. That said, it would be amazing to see anything even remotely like B-5 anywhere. SG-1 never really cut it for me, but then sci-fi TV fails just as much as any other serialized genre. What we really need is a more intelligent audience. Sure, there are those of us with a ton of brainpower who love our shows, but TV wants a larger audience than we can provide. It's a cultural problem of which this is only one tiny symptom. -- Logan L.
