Done right, it could be pretty good. So could Buck Rogers. I just hope they do it off-Earth, not like they tried the last show a few years ago (with the new Sam Fisher). Or they could try coming up with some NEW memorable scifi characters.

There are some of those in the works, but the future doesn't look bright.
Almost Human is borderline cancelled, and I thought Dorian an interesting take on the Pinocchio idea, more so than Data.

I've still got all of the Almost Human season on dvr waiting to watch. If cancelled, I'll just delete. I don't need another show I regret being cancelled.

Well the question is where do you draw the line? How many seasons must it last? I don't know that this show has any defined "end" planned for it.

3 seasons with a decent ending is my minimum for "success". Preferably more of course, TNG didn't get good until about season 4.

Generally I like TV shows to have a set ending and plan. I hate when a show just runs until it jumps the shark and gets cancelled.
I'm more of a movie and miniseries person.

To each his own of course but if I really like the characters and story arcs of a short-lived show I'll even buy the dvd set if available.
Caprica Crusade Firefly Space Above & Beyond Rome
All of these shows lasted less than 23 episodes each. That's my point. I don't need another Firefly or S:A&B hanging over my head as a what-if. If I thought this show would be on par with those, I would've continued watching after the pilot.

I'm more of a movie and miniseries person. The only US tv show that I know of that had a completely outlined multi-year storyarc and ending is Babylon 5. Some other shows like the X-Files, Lost and BSG had some stuff planned ahead of time but there was also quite a bit of improvisation.

Quantum Leap, Highlander, STTNG, Voyager, Enterprise and I think DS9 all ended well, and clearly B5. Farscape got a movie to tie it up after getting cut off at a cliffhanger. BSG threw a Hail Mary to try to wrap things up. Like it or not, at least they got the chance. I just hate getting into the one/two season wonders that get chopped off. Seems like anytime I like a show it's doomed to a short existence. It sucks that Firefly and S:A&B were so promising and got SCREWED.

They're far from the only ones.
I remember watching Prey years back and getting into it...

Going to be hard to top this one. There are certain B movies that I find to be highly watchable and that's one of them. Sometimes campiness works.

As young as I was when I first saw it, I STILL rolled my eyes at the "football" scene.

Man, they couldn't even get an Alex Raymond panel to top their story off with? The beauty of his art was a lot of the draw...
