What is with everybody's obsession with the show Farscape? I saw a freaking flyer on a telephone pole yesterday saying "Save Farscape!"... I've watched the show... I don't get it.

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>haha, if you only watch shows because they grab you in four minutes remind me not to watch the crap you do. You're so wrong on calling it "another cheesy space show" that I don't even know where to begin...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>it's a gift and a curse, unfortunately. It makes the story that much richer but it also can easily scare away potential new viewers...Scifi needs more Farscape "chain reactions"</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The recap episode is also a good place to begin. I only started watching the series in the third season, but I still had a fair understanding of what was going on. More serials should have primer episode every few seasons</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that was a good recap. I actually missed half of season 1 and all of season 2, then I caught the recap, watched every episode when Sci-Fi re-aired all the previous episodes, and went from there.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>it is good, horribly so and it's got the reviews to prove it but Scifi don't give a damn. All they see is a show that costs more to make than their precious little StarGate and gets slightly lower ratings. Forget the fact that it's the longest running Scifi Original series to date</div>

Nascar is about cars, rednecks LOVE cars. The Wrestling industry is primarilly in the Northern US, New York is the biggest city for Wrestling. Just look where the PPV's have been lately, Boston, Toronto, Seattle, not really redneck places =P
