SGA Sneak Peek on EUREKA tonight... probably not

[wraithfodder]

Anybody who gets SciFi's (aka Skiffy) text messages probably knows by now that they're doing a sneak peek on Battlestar Galactica tonight, no doubt removing the possiblity of a sneak peek of SGA on the premiere of EUREKA. :(

Ah sigh. But I'll still tape, just on the off-off chance...

ADDENDUM: Nope, not tonight. Saw an ad on Skiffy during Tru Calling (reminder : Joe Flanigan is on next week's 7pm episode, "Brother's Keeper") for a Battlestar Galactica 'event.' Yes, event. So, SGA isn't an event? Sniffle.

You gotta question the merits of promotion of a series you already put the boot into...over one that might have a shot at renewal.

Just speaks to me that SGA's fate has been decided already...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, very true. Why push the series which has already been given the boot? Well, voluntarily, but still...

I don't know much about the BSG situation to be honest...I know they got kept holding on for a while for S4, and for a while it looked like Skiffy wasn't going to pony up for it, but that's about it.

Did they decide not to continue after S4 once they got it?

The producers decided to end it, on their own terms (which makes sense, rather than waiting each year for a renewal/cancellation notice).

Fair play to them. About time someone did that to Skiffy instead of waiting for their rejection. And it's not like it's issued in a timely manner for things to be wrapped up tidily either.

On the issue of the addendum, we saw what Skiffy thinks of a lot of its shows with the messing with the schedule in the past 9 months. I think it's funny all this is centred around Eureka, because I think that is the sort of format that has a future on Skiffy - 13 episode runs - fit nicely into quarter year slots.

And a few months ago, it was all Dresden Files left and right. I mean, I found at least two full page print ads in magazines for EUREKA. I dare say we won't see any for SGA if history repeats itself.

Well Joe M did say that it would be this week OR next week's when he blogged about it.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Next week, not this week. Darn.

Noooooo. I want to see SGA. The VCR is ready and waiting.
*fingers crossed*

well, tape anyway, maybe they'll have a mention of the SGA ad, or an ad for next week's Tru Calling with Joe F :)

I saw the ad for Tru Calling (I didn't realize till today that she had played Faith in Buffy). To bad the teaser for SGA wasn't shown. I guess we have to wait till next week. Jeeeezzzz, could they have shown the ads for Subaru and Coinstar any more times? Anyway, it was the first time I watched Eureka, not a bad show.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I must have blocked the ads for Subaru, but at least Coinstar's was inventive with their stop-motion stuff. EUREKA is a pleasant show but SGA is still far more enjoyable, at least to me :)

Like I said on your other post the annoying thing about this is that the season premiere of Eureka will no doubt have higher ratings than next week's episode. I'd liked to have known that the SGA promo was seen by as many people as possible, even if it only means a handful. I doubt Skiffy is going to push SGA this year anymore than it has previously - I'm not holding out much hope for a fifth season. Though quite how Skiffy plan on filling their lineup next year I don't know - maybe they really will change their name to The Wrestling Channel.
