I'm sorry.. I don't remember asking for a flaming reply. Constructive criticism is fine, but waste the time typing out a reply if all you're going to do is be an ass.
As far as Farscape goes.. I personally hated the show, but I've seen plenty of reason to keep it on. It was one of the only original (semi) SciFi shows left. (And I'm sorry, Andromeda is flat out horrible.. it reeks of ripoff)
Fact is tho, Birds had enough potential to be worth WB keeping. To quote my wife: 'It shows that women can be intelligent and strong, and not be friggen retarded like Buffy'.
Problem is that WB was trying to target the wrong crowd.

: Congratulating the WB for cancelling Birds of Prey. It could be a cool first for the internet to combat the "all of us" letters that so many cats send out to save total shit shows.
: : Well, the show just recently got cancelled back in November, and just aired it's final show. There's a wave of interest in the show, and I personally think it was cancelled prior to getting any real chance of becoming a hit. What does everyone think?
: A wave of interest from... who? People who fell out of trees and separated the hemispheres of their brains? Prison inmates who want to watch hot women in tight clothes on free television and haven't just figured out to mute Buffy?
: I'm honestly hard-pressed to think of a worse new "genre" show in the last five or ten years... the only thing that even comes close is MAYBE "Highlander: The Raven". Yeah. THAT'S how bad Birds was.
: The Raven bad.
: Case closed, true believer.
: If you're gonna "bring back" a show, do it on something worth it... though uneven, Farscape had some moments... and even now, the fight to bring "The Critic" should continue and on into time immamorium.
