Why I *HATE* Sci-Fi channel.
Not trying to be condecending my friend. Just stating the obvious. If you had been a fan of LEXX like I have from the start, you would know these things and not be shocked by how SciFi is treating it. Don’t believe me, ask Aleck from Acorn Media and the promissed “media blitz” for season 4 that never happened. SciFi didn’t even start airing promos for season 4 until maybe a week before it started. All they do, is air the new ep durring the 3 timeslots that weekend and that’s all she wrote. No chain reactions (they did one once, it was every bit of 3 episodes.. wow.) no reruns, no promoting the show. Most people stumble across it by accident. How did you find about about LEXX? Was it that it happen to come on after Farscape? Do you know why LEXX didn’t come on tonite? And you found about Farscape how?
The Sliders thing I cannot prove, you just had to be there when it happened. But the MST3K thing… it’s a long drawn out article but it begins here:

If you read the whole thing you’ll see just how powerful SciFi execs can be. Funny thing is.. the management changeover the artcile talks about is the new reign of Bonnie Hammer, LEXX’s biggest adversary. Funny no?
Anyways.. it’s not like I need to convince you. Just informing you of things that will come to you in time.
Did ya know that Black Scorpion (which was cancelled) now plays durring SciFi World?.. SciFi just picked up another show to which it has cheap Xclusive broadcast rights to. Don’t think they won’t do the same with LEXX. What’s funny is that they did advertise BS more than LEXX, but then again that is SciFi’s core agenda: Advertise BS more than quality programming.
I thought about the TNN thing to, Evil Listy. Great minds think alike [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]. And despite what Paul D. thinX, a lot of male LEXX fans also watch the WWF which also airs now on TNN. What’s more.. Paramount is connected to Viacom which you guessed it owns TNN, UPN and MTV. Paramount already owns the US broadcast rights to the LEXX movies, so it’s not a completely daft idea.
Cookie Monster and Big Bird? I’m sure they did it, just probably did it after I had gotten sick of it and stopped watching.
I digress. Please don’t think I am directing any negativity towards you personally or your views, Holt, that is unless of course you are really a SciFi exec [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
