Yes, and the fact both share the Stargate intro, so it's not difficult to figure out they're related. People, from what I can tell, watch each for different reasons. What they're *not* banking on (and boy, do they fail at their jobs for it) is that pissing off people in a very small niched community is a very bad idea.
Supernatural/Sci-fi shows aren't market dominators. It's not like ER, Grey's, House, or Bones (What is this? Doctor explosions lately?), where they have an easy to find market. Specific niches have to work at keeping their viewers, not pissing them off weekly. A wise person would keep the fans they have, get better scripts, and expand that way. Intentionally causing a ruckus won't work out well in the end. With only being on one channel here (Skiffy), new episodes are vital to keeping it afloat. However tv's not the only way to see a show nowadays. In any shape or form. People can view without handing over those ever so important Neilsen ratings.
