LEXX will be next week. The Chronicle which normally got 1.2 on Saturday nights, is being cancelled. Scifi may be dropping shows
which don’t pull a 1.0 or better in their Friday Prime slot. Here’s a list of past and current prime shows.
Black Scorpian- Ratings FAILURE! dropped mid season, Thank-you scifi
Jules Vern- Was to have a second season. Reruns were to start 9/17, the previous Tuesday changed that, not renewed
Farscape- ending 3rd season startign 4th season in April, bought through 5th season
LEXX- last season, ends in April
First Wave- poor ratings, and the producers wanted to end it. Finished in the summer
Outer Limits- season ended, I believe it will be back fo another season
SG1- Starts final season in June
The Chronicle- Good ratings on Sat, alright ratings on Fri, cancelled, fianle in April
Iman- poor writing in 2nd season lead to poor ratings, last episode just aired
Strange World- sucks imo, just aired ratings unknown
New Battlestar galactica- starts in fall(?) concurrent airings with partner FOX
Up in the air
B5:LotR despite dissapointing ratings, evidence indicates it may happen
LEXX spinoff (?)
I’ve also heard rumors for a few other shows, I can’t remeber any names right now. Some shows may be soinoffs of Outer Limits episodes
