Sounds like most of those shows were either a) initially developed for somebody else, b) developed by really big names (e.g. Henson, Coppola), or c) developed and produced by an affiliated company, which would naturally mean they'd get a bit more benefit of the doubt.

So I guess the answer is that I have no idea whether we should be reading anything into the "wait for ratings" bit.

It could be lack of confidence in the show, but it also could be standard practice under these particular circumstances which we just haven't seen before.

We'll know soon enough...

Regarding the Chronicle, the 11/19 issue of "Broadcasting and Cable" listed the Top 5 programs on the SciFi Channel based on their "core demo" of Adults aged 25-54 YTD.

Those were:
Farscape
Chronicle
Outer Limits
First Wave
Jules Verne

One more thought...

The thing that is really odd about the Rangers situation is that I can't recall Sci-Fi ever needing to see the ratings before okaying a series before.

Can anyone else?

The only thing worse than Crossing Over is Psychic Hotline commercials. It's probably too bad they cancelled their plans to 'contact' people who died in the WTC, because that would have gotten them booed off the air.
