Why I *HATE* Sci-Fi channel.
Ha! Thanks for the condescending tone, X. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] .
I am not defending Sci-Fi’s actions. In fact, I said:

Of course, the 2am on Sundays is strange. I can only think that they moved it there once, got good ratings, and decided not to risk moving it again. Of course, I wonder why it hasn’t appeared elsewhere during the week.
I have this feeling that you may be right about the network’s general attitude about the whole issue(though, unless you have direct relations with those involved, you are really just assuming what people are thinking). If Lexx is on TV, on a specific station, someone with programming power likes it. Now, does that mean the entire executive board at Sci-Fi drools over the show? Obviously not. This is the kind of oddball show that has one or two champions at the weekly board meetings, while the rest of the staff grumbles about one thing or another(such as cost, like you mention).
And sometimes networks are just insane. I have seen a couple of new shows, several starring Bruce Campbell oddly enough, that had a moderate following dissappear because the programmers moved the show all over the schedule. From 8pm on fridays to 1am on Sundays to 3pm on Sundays, to 10am on saturdays, etc, etc.
But I don’t buy into the idea that Sci-Fi hates Lexx, considering all the good ideas that studios make into pilots that never see the light of day.
The question for everyone is, considering that you’ll never see Lexx before 8pm on Sci-Fi, where would you specifically like to see Lexx?

As a matter of fact, watching s2 reruns on sunday nights is what got me hooked on Lexx.
That’s me right there.
Whatever happens to Lexx, lets hope it gets the kind of treatment TNN is giving ST:NG. Who wouldn’t like to see MM, Xenia, Downey, and Bennet talking about the show while the entire series runs over the course of a few days?
See, we should all be prgram directors for one week.
