PostSat Sep 07, 2002 7:48 am    Farscape Cancelled........ (And how you can help)

I don't how many of you watch this fantastic show, but the Sci-Fi channel, have cancelled it. As Farscape is the second highest rated show on the network this just sounds so stupid. Anyways there is a petition,
PLEASE SIGN IT:

http://www.petitiononline.com/scaper1/petition.html


WE WANT A FIFTH SEASON!!!!!!

Online petitions won't do enough or be ready in time to do any good.

I don't watch the show, but I know what its like to get a show cancelled.

The BEST CHANCE to save 'scape is to write a *handwritten* letter to Scifi. Don't be angry in it----if you do, they dismiss the letter out of hand. Be disappointed and impassioned. Most of all, make sure there are no spelling or punctuation mistakes.

Since the General Scifi & Fantasy forum doesn't get a whole lot of traffic, I'm moving this to Chit Chat for a few days. Then I'll move it back here, but in the mean time this issue will get as much exposure as possible.

^I don't think so.......in an online chat, some of the actors said the sets would be gone by next week, so they aren't just switching which channel makes it.

I'm going to make this an announcement for the next few days if the other mods don't mind, and change the title a bit. I'd like this to be noticed.

Either no one cares, or everyone has learned to ignore Announcements.....

I'll make it a sticky, how about that?

I watched Farscape from the very beginning but towards the end it just got lost in endless story that just lost the original plot. Buffy did that too, which is why it's crap now.


I'm sorry but that's just the way I feel!

I haven't watched Farscape that often, but that really is rather horrid that they're cancelling it...it seems like a great show! *makes a note to write a note to the sci-fi channel tomorrow*

Is there a point to this topic being stickied?

Yes. You see, Scifi will have the sets dismantled in the next two days. So any actions which could potentially save the show----unlikely as it is----much be undertaken now.

At the end of the week I'll unsticky this and move it back to SF+F.

not to demean the show at all I think its kind of fruitless to try and stop them they have made up their mind and nothing can stop them its like them stoping the Anime movies people didn't want that to happen and they did it anyway I think they should let the show go into history they did a good job on it but all good things must come to a end

actually the show may not be doomed, aparently the BBC and some other TV organisation are thinking of buying farscape from the sci fi channel. so it may be saved, i have signed that petition but i don't think that it will help, we just have to hope that these TV companys do buy the show.

I know people will hate me for this (Or at least not like me very much) but I don't realy care if Farscape dissapears forever. I just reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hated it.


Almost as much as Blake''s 7.

I really don't know why I did that.

Enterprise is a million times better and entertaining than Farscape.

Farscape was the second-highest rated show on the Scifi channel----like Enterprise is for UPN. In fact, last summer saw Scifi's highest ratings ever, primarily due to *both* SG1 and Farscape.

Don't try to argue when you don't know the facts.

i do know the facts it was in cult times when they were interviewing brannon braga he said about enterprise and how do u know the ratings didnt go bad shortly after im only sayins things that i know theres a v.low chance that this poll will help farscape so think again and ask yourself if this is really worth wasting time 4
