Award-winning Crap is still Crap, 22 June 2008
3/10

So the show won awards... Big Woop....

How is that related to quality in the slightest? After all, we live in a world where The Office won an Emmy (feel free to choose your own example here).

Awards these days are a function of the time and money spent in the campaign to buy them.

Galactica's producers, and especially Ron Moore, are focused on getting awards and hyping their show.

Awards is what they're getting as the audience dwindles to nothing.

Yes, gentlemen (and Ladies!) the much hyped, much publicized premiere of BG had 2.2 million viewers, compared to 3.1 last year.

Now, forget that 2.2 million viewers is anemic for a show that spends so much money advertising itself, it's a third lower than last year, in spite of claims of "quality" and "relevance". If the show is so great why are people not watching it any more? Maybe if the producers re-thought the ill-fated "concept" of shaking the camera at everything, casting dead-eyed models and shooting on video, they'd get an audience. But no, they are too interested in getting awards.

That the SciFi Channel puts up with that nonsense is a tribute to how out of touch with its potential audience they are (see all those ridiculous "creature" movies for another example).

Oh, and making a remake of a much-beloved, if imperfect, show is not a good idea if you're going to call it "cheesy" every chance you get.

Yes, audiences have kept an open mind and they saw that Battlestar Galactica, the new edition is not worth watching.

UPDATE: The ratings have fallen even more, and yet SciFi still acts as if it has something special there (and still produces atrocious "creature" movies). Baffling...
