Sci Fi Has Your Shows!

August 17, 2006

For months now, BBCancelled's community boards have been raging with questions about how to find some seriously brilliant but regrettably cancelled shows. There's good news, we found them! They’re over at the Sci Fi Channel!

In early August, in a deal with CBS Paramount, Sci Fi acquired the rights to some of the best series made in the past few years. The list includes:

“Star Trek: Enterprise” -- the prequel to the original series starring Scott Bakula.

“Haunted” -- Matthew Fox receives messages from dead people while solving crimes.

“The Invaders” -- Scott Bakula (again) tries to save the earth from space aliens in an acclaimed mini-series by Stephen King.

“Threshold” -- a female government analyst and her team of scientists face off with an alien lifeform.

“The Stand” -- based on the Stephen King novel and starring Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald, who toil through a post-apocolyptic, disease-ridden world.

“The Langoliers” -- starring Patricia Wetting and Dean Stockwell who wake up on a cross-country flight to find that there are only a handful of people left in the world.

Also included in the deal were “Tales from the Dark Side,” and several made-for-TV movies, including Primal Force which is about mutant baboons. That’s right. You heard us: Mutant. Baboons.

Sci-Fi will also continue it’s exclusive showing of “The Twilight Zone” and other brilliant but cancelled request: “Dead Like Me.” There you go. Knock Yourselves Out.
