Oh, I remember most of those shows (I'm feeling a little old - it wasn't really that long ago was it?). SciFi should definitely pick up Mercy Point (it was UPN? I think someone from SGA guested on it) and Now and Again (my Mom and her friends loved that show and are definitely not scifi types).
Baywatch, in all its incarnations, sigh. I think someone needs to do a thesis on the worldwide popularity of this show - seriously. My last lab boss was from Iran (fled as a teenager when he was old enough for military duty). His parents who stayed used to watch the show illegally on their satellite dish and wanted to visit the Baywatch beach when they visited Calif the first time. One of my friends who did research in rural China (the plains with the pikas from the Discovery channel BBC Earth special) was amazed that people were familiar with the show - seriously! Who'd have thunk that the Hoff and Pam wete ambassadors of the American dream? I'm not sure if this is amazing or scary...
