Maybe it's Stargate SG:1 to NBC?

Since Sci-Fi decided to kill that one for no apparent reason.

This would be an awful mistake. It would move to NBC, not find an audience big enough for the NBC beancounters and be canceled in less than 10 weeks. The 'Firefly' comment above is entirely correct. I pray this doesn't happen. I believe all the people watching it are all the people who would watch it. SciFi Channel is not hard to find. Moving it to NBC is not going to make it more accessable.

As commenters at the latter site note, as logical as it would seem to move a hugely popular show to the flagship network, the reality is that BSG is a niche show on a niche channel and would likely not be able to survive on a network that required broader appeal.

Word. If Firefly had been on Sci-Fi instead of Fox, it would probably still be going.

This is worse than the N. Korea news. Please, don't bastardize BSG. You can almost guarantee that "frap" will be turned into "donuts" or something to appease the sponsors. That would be a terrible move, like ABC purchasing the Sopranos.

And quickly moving past "getting."

Make that 37 years ago.

We are getting old.
