WHEN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS CANCELLED ALL OF THE SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMS ON "SCI-FI CHANNEL" AND REPLACED THEM WITH NON-SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMMING, THEY NEGLECTED TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE NETWORK TO SOMETHING MORE FITTING. "THE HORROR CHANNEL", "THE USA NETWORK FILM VAULT CHANNEL", "THE INFOMERCIAL NETWORK", "THE HORROR/ACTION CHANNEL", OR "THE COMMERCIAL BROADCAST NETWORK" WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE TITLES.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS TRACK RECORD WITH FANTASY MOVIES ISN'T MUCH BETTER. UNIVERSAL STUDIOS USUALLY RUNS INTO PROBLEMS WHEN THEY TRY TO MAKE LIVE ACTION MOVIES BASED ON COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS. THE "HULK" BORED AUDIENCES TO DEATH BARELY 10 MINUTES INTO THE MOVIE.....TURNING "VAN HELSING" INTO A SUPERNATURAL "RAMBO" WAS TOO RIDICULOUS FOR WORDS....."CAT IN THE HAT" PROVED THAT 5 YEAR OLD KIDS WEREN'T READY FOR "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" HUMOR......"JOSEY AND THE PUSSYCATS" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A "CHARLIE'S ANGELS" RETREAD BASED ON A 1970 CARTOON THAT NO ONE REMEMBERED......THE "FLINTSTONES" MOVIES PROVED THAT REBUILDING "BEDROCK" ON A STUDIO BACKLOT WASN'T ENOUGH TO DRAW IN THE FANS OF THE CARTOON.....SOME PROPERTIES SHOULD BE LEFT IN CARTOON FORM, WHICH "ROCKY & BULLWINKLE" PROVED......"HOWARD THE DUCK" WAS GEORGE LUCAS'S FIRST CAREER FLOP. HOW FITTING THAT LUCAS CHOSE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS FOR THAT MOMENTOUS OCCASION......"PITCH BLACK" WAS "PITCH DULL"....."CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK" DISAPPEARED FROM THEATERS FASTER THAN "FINAL FANTASY-THE SPIRITS WITHIN"......AND "VIRUS" PROVED THAT WHEN UNIVERSAL STUDIOS MADE A MOVIE FOR THE SUMMER OF 1999, NO ONE CAME AND WENT TO THE BEACH INSTEAD......

THE MANAGEMENT OF "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS/SCI-FI CHANNEL" IS AN OPENLY HOSTILE REGIME TOWARDS THE VIEWING PUBLIC, SCIENCE FICTION PROGRAMMING, AND THE "BATTLESTAR GALACTICA" COPYRIGHT. THE ENDLESS GRAVEYARD OF CANCELLED TELEVISION SHOWS ON "SCI-FI CHANNEL" AS WELL AS UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ENDLESS BOX OFFICE FAILURES INDICATES THAT THIS IS A CORPORATION THAT DELIBERATELY LOST ITS WAY IN MAKING RATIONAL BUSINESS DECISIONS. ONE CAN ALWAYS HOPE FOR MIRACLES, AND THE PERMANENT FINANCIAL DOWNFALL OF "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS/SCI-FI CHANNEL" IS A DREAM SHARED BY MANY.

Glen A. Larson Is Partially To Blame For The Mini Series
« on: October 23, 2004, 04:12:21 PM »

Glen Larson never tried very hard to bring back "Battlestar Galactica." Oh sure, he had the casual meetings with his buddies over at Universal Studios, but in Larson's own words, Galactica never got passed the "topic of discussion" phase. It's safe to say that we can partially blame Glen A. Larson for the existence of Ron Moore's ABOMINATION. How? Larson is a conformist. He conforms to Universal Studios lethargic and indifferent attitude towards "Battlestar Galactica." As the SUPPOSED creator of "Battlestar Galactica", it has been proven impossible by Glen A. Larson to revive the series with one foot in Universal Studios LETHARGY, and his other foot in the corner of reviving the series. By serving two masters so to speak at one time, Glen Larson not only guaranteed that "Battlestar Galactica" would not get revived in the manner that it should have been revived, but he also set the stage for UNDESIRABLE THIRD PARTIES (Bonnie Hammer, Ronald D. Moore) coming in at a later date to SWIPE the property right out from under his nose, and WARP IT into a "STAR TREK CLONE."

It would take a NON-CONFORMIST to revive "Battlestar Galactica" as a TRUE CONTINUATION of the 1978 series. Someone brave enough, dynamic enough, and with enough energy to get in Universal Studios face on a daily basis and tell them in no uncertain terms that it is his way or the highway. Glen Larson evidently is not like this. Also, based on Larson's rather quiet stance since the mini series aired, and the upcoming 13 episode series, we can safely conclude that Glen A. Larson does not care about the property as much as he claimed he did at the time Richard Hatch was apparently making head way with his revival effort. In short, Larson's SUPPOSED CARING was really a pre-emptive strike to prevent Richard Hatch from making revival progress.

The Ron Moore mini series and 13 episode series is the sad consequence of what can happen when the SUPPOSED CREATOR of a property, and the IDIOTIC STUDIO who owns it, doesn't give a MONKEY'S RUMP about the welfare of the property.  Smiley

How are you doing with your continuation production, Glen A. Larson? Has it gotten past the "Fantasy Phase" in your imagination yet?  Grin

Still sitting on your ass, Glen Larson? Where is the continuation movie you claim you have been making since 1985?  Kiss

When Universal executives lose a battle, they just don't know when to stay down.  Kiss
