Hello everyone!! Sorry I disappeared there last week. My parents came to town and I’ve been having a fantastic time with them. This weekend I went out and bought the entire seven seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. They were on sale and I couldn’t resist. Of course this has gotten me thinking about the sorry state of Sci-Fi on TV these days.
Battlestar Galatica is in its last season, they cancelled Moonlight, the Bionic Woman and Sarah Connor Chronicles were disappointing, and I can’t even think of another new sci-fi show on TV these days.
What happened??
Doctor Who only has a few episodes left this series and then I’ve got nothing to keep me going for months. I don’t even know when Torchwood is coming back, but I imagine its January 09 at least. And Stargate: Atlantis won’t be back until September.
*dramatic sigh*
This is why I write people…I need something to fill the gap in my life. Anyone out there that can recommend a good show, please let me know. If not, I’m going to be going back to rewatch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Stargate: SG1 on DVD.
I don’t watch much Sci-fi but I have to agree with you about the why I write mantra. There isn’t much good on TV these days!
I hope you had a nice time with your parents. I’m visiting mine this weekend.
Stargate Atlantis’ season five premieres on Friday, July 11 ‘08 at 10pm in the US.
Oh Morjana, thank you for letting me know!! I’ll have to check to see when we’ll get it here in Canada, because I really need some new TV.
Karen, I’ve always watched Sci-Fi and I really can’t get enough of it. I just wish the TV execs would give the shows more of a chance before they yank them off the air.
Hey Christine - good to hear about your reviews for your newest release! Woo! As for TV, I barely watch it. I have much better luck watching entire seasons like you’ve just done with ‘Buffy’ (haven’t seen that one at all.) What I’m currently into - okay, obsessed by - is the BBC ‘Robin Hood’ series. I have just three words for you: Guy of Gisborne.
I was talking about that with my husband, that Saturday’s Who was #7/13. We have fewer remaining than we’ve already seen! But I’ll be rewatching this season, to be sure. Aside from the horrible SuperNanny opener, this season has been really, really good. I don’t normally go for slapstick, but the Agatha Christie one cracked me up. And I’ll be shocked if we don’t see the Doctor’s Genny back in future episodes…
I don’t know, I’m at a loss for good Sci Fi as well. I’ve been rewatching Voyager from start to finish and dang nabbit I actually missed a few episodes first time around watching so for me, I’m discovering some new stuff.
But yeah, it’s pretty parched. Of course I still have Dr. Who season 4 to watch, Battlestar Galatica in it’s whole, Star Gates and Buffy so I have so good TV looming on my horizon it’s the whole time thing for me. With small kids I have to be careful when I watch them.
Do you know… I NEVER seen Buffy?!!
I know, shoot me. Maybe I’ll borrow your DVD’s when you’re done
Julia, I’ve heard really good things about Robin Hood. I’m going to have to check it out. Guy is a yummy character.
Carrie, we better see her again after that ending! I’m really loving season 4 and I can’t wait until the last three episodes. I want Jack back!
Amy and Wyile, we’ll work out a lending system for the two of you. Trust me, once you get into it, you’ll want to watch them all! LOL!
