Larsons view of the mini
Glen Larson is not really positive about the mini either.
"I don't know that the Sci Fi Channel is comfortable with [traditional] science fiction," contends Larson, who watched an advance tape of the minisieres recently. "To make the Cylons humanoid is a concept that has been done in `The Matrix' and `Terminator.' The gender changes seemed to be a change just for the sake of change. I'm thrilled that a story I wrote 25 years ago has held up, but I would have liked this version to be a little more faithful to the original."

To be sure, Hammer was prepared for a backlash. Earlier this year, she endured widespread criticism from fans who were upset that the channel had canceled "Farscape," a series some fans called television's best science-fiction program since the original "Star Trek."

The Sci Fi Channel's website, www.scifi.com, has been "inundated" with protests, said Hammer, who added that fans "can't drive the creative process."

With an attitude like this it's not surprising Sci-Fi has been suffering the inverse Midas touch. Everything they touch turns to poo

Hammer said the old show was "too campy". True, but many "campy" shows get big ratings and make big money. What's more campy than Friends or Everybody Loves Raymond? Then there's the original Lost in Space and the granddaddy of them all Star Trek. Oh yeah, she contradicts her own statements by putting Tremors on the air. LOL

Camp is "so bad it's good." The phrase doesn't apply to Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, or Star Trek ('though IMO, Raymond is simply so bad it's bad, but that's neither here nor there- the point is, it's *supposed* to be funny, and camp is supposed to be ironic).
