Still Hope for Farscape

An anonymous reader wrote in to say that the "Save Farscape" campaign thinks there is still hope. If the next 11 episodes (starting Friday, January 10 on the SciFi Channel) pull the right numbers ). According to this interview with David Kemper:"If we were to do 2s, straight across the boards for these eleven eps, I would be expecting to have phone conversations with people immediately..." Of course that is pretty unlikely- but my household won't miss an episode. To bad the cats don't count in the nielsons ;)

Still Hope For BeOS

[Anonymous Coward]

An anonymous reader wrote in to say that the "Save BeOS [beunited.org]" campaign thinks there is still hope. If the next 11 quarters (starting Friday, January 10 on the Palm Channel) pull the right numbers). According to this interview with David Kemper:"If we were to use NetPositive, straight across the Palm site, for these eleven quarters, I would be expecting to have phone conversations with people immediately..." Of course that is pretty unlikely- but my household won't miss a chance to resurrect BeOS. To bad the cats can't point and click ;)

Unless you have a box, you count for about as much as your cats.

Re:What about

[Twirlip of the Mists]

Why are people so fucking gung-ho about saving a TV show, yet wouldn't lift a finger to help another human being?

Because nearly all other human beings suck.

Next question?

Amazing

So they're hoping and praying for Farscape to pull in a 2 rating? Astounding. Firefly consistently drew around a 2.4, and yet Fux dropped it faster than... a... um... fast dropping thing.

Sorry. I'm having a figurative language problem today. I can do personification and synecdoche, but I can't pull off metaphor or simile. It's like....

Re:What about

No. People like Farscape because they did too many drugs while watching the Muppet Show.

"Priorities first."
"Futurama."

My kingdom for a mod point.

The Ramen Noodle Conspiracy

[Anonymous Coward]

Notice how as the economy has worsened, that not only has the supply of Ramen noodles increased, but the price has dropped? I saw them today for 10 cents a pack.

How can anyone make a profit on 10 cents a pack? The answer is, profit is not a factor... its a government funded welfare program. The federal government is subsidizing the production of Ramen noodles during this period of economic decline.

Save Enterprise!

Oh wait it hasn't been cancelled... yet.

Re:Why save it?

"kill your television" and live life to its fullest

Yeah, we know what you think, Jonathan [theonion.com]... :)

Re:Never mind Farscape, save Firefly!

[Anonymous Coward]

Or at the very least make Enterprise LESS BORING

Brilliant but cancelled

I've heard of this other show that was brought back because of fan reaction and lobbying.

Some Sci-Fi show from the 60s.

Ordinarily, studios just don't listen to audiences, as counter intuitive as that seems, especially today, when most studios are just arms of a gigantic multi-national corporation (that's controlled by the Gnomes of Zurich with help from the girl scouts and the orbital mind control lasers)
