Pssst – Hey, you! Yeah, you, the savvy network TV programming executive sitting in your office reading the Hollywood Reporter – have we got a deal for you!

Looking for a good home ---

Farscape, a slightly used science fiction drama with lots of life in it. Unceremoniously dumped by its previous home, the Sci Fi Channel, despite four seasons of brand building success and Nielsen conquest.

Comes with its own built-in Emmy nomination, showers of critical acclaim, and an expansive fan base known for its loyalty to both the network airing the series and to its advertisers. Just ask Kia, Honda or Dell.

But wait! Here’s what people have said about the series:

“…this lavishly produced…space adventure quickly established itself as the most irreverent, unpredictable, sexy, intelligent and exciting sci fi show on TV…Ben Browder and Claudia Black have incredible chemistry, and are surrounded by some of the most vivid and compelling fantasy creatures ever created. Farscape is a joy to watch.” - Matt Roush, TV GUIDE ONLINE

“Farscape has distinguished itself with bold stories, movie-quality special effects, superb acting and bizarre aliens, courtesy of the Jim Henson Co., winning the series…admiration from sci-fi fans and mainstream critics.” - Mark A. Perigard, BOSTON HERALD

“TV's most imaginative and enjoyable science-fiction series…Ironically, Farscape just helped Sci Fi to its biggest summer ever.” - Mike Brantley, MOBILE REGISTER


“Farscape, for non-sci-fi fans (the assumption here is that if you're into this stuff already, you're a loyal viewer), is addictive...the acting and writing is top-notch. There's a witty undertone that's much appreciated..." - Tim Goodman, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

“Each week, its mixture of humor and drama and its richness of character and theme are a delight. Ben Browder, as the displaced space traveler, plays serious scenes as well as he plays comedy, and he plays comedy superbly. The entire cast is multitalented.” - David Bianculli, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"It Sci-Fi Babes: The Ladies of Farscape. TV's smartest sci-fi series is also the sexiest..." - "The It List 2002," ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Farscape is a grungier, sexier take on the space frontier...the humor in Farscape smooths things along for those new to the series." - Mark Sachs, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"A favorite of critics, Farscape is the network's top show...It features state-of-the-art special effects, an interesting gallery of alien grotesques and a nova-hot romance..." - Lewis Beale, NEW YORK TIMES

Don’t let this opportunity go to waste! Act now! Millions of affluent, well-educated viewers aged 18 – 54 with disposable income are standing by!

A brilliant, well written ad. With any luck, Sci-Fi execs will be in therapy for the rest of their lives. This isn't a public relations nightmare; people wake up from nighmares. This is public relations Hell.

How ironic. The financial repercussion of the cancellation will likely exceed the cost of carrying the series for another season.

Doesn't this remind you of all the spite we got from Dark Angel fans when Firefly replaced that show in the Fox lineup? They were talking about a boycott too, but these angry feelings never translate into long term viewing habits.

Haken, can you tell us a bit more about Taken? I didn't know Spielberg was working on a mini-series.
