Interview  |  Save Farscape
Success in sight?

Do you think that the campaign is succeeding?

Red: It�s hard to gauge what effect we�re having. I�m told, and we hear things, that people are watching, people in the industry are watching us. We had an executive at another network mention that we were the largest fan campaign in television history, from his point of view. It�s hard to see it from our side, but from his side that�s what he�s seeing.

Teri: It would be hard for Sci-Fi not to see that they�ve got a valuable commodity and that there are people out there who really want to see it continue. Fans that want to see it continue, but the advertising side of it, the fans are like, "we want to throw our money at you, please let us throw their money at you, you�ve got a good show, we want to keep watching it, it�s going to be financially profitable for you, look at the response we�ve got. This is because of a show you produced. Be the good guys here and put it back on the air.

Jool: The critics have been amazing, the critics have been especially supportive and it�s been reported that at the winter TV press junket, when Bonnie Hammer, President of Sci-Fi, tried to sidestep questions about Farscape the critics actually yelled at her, and said no, and made her give an explanation as to why they cancelled Farscape. She was in the process of trying to introduce her new programming, and they would not let her do that before she�d answered their questions about why she was cancelling Farscape, or why Universal Television was cancelling Farscape.

Red: Every time Sci-Fi gets mentioned in the press, we get mentioned. Which is a huge coup. I can�t tell what effect we�re having. We hear rumours, and I don�t know how solid they are, they could be interested one week and the next week everything changes. I know people are watching us. People in the industry are watching us. I hope something good will happen. If I didn�t think we had even a chance I wouldn�t be here, because I have other things I can do.
