Credit where credit is due

The SciFi channel has greenlit Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica. For all my complaining about them, they deserve kudos for this great news. This bodes well for intelligent, non-dumbed down, and well written TV.

Actually, I'm hoping Universal/NBC will rerun Caprica in one of those 10pm slots they're currently struggling to fill, like they're doing with Monk. It seems to me that all their best shows are on their cable channels, where editorial interference from NBC's execs seems to be much less, than on the network.

I'm fully convinced that those execs had much to do with the decline in quality of Heroes, and don't really get the notion that you fixate an audience with ideas rather than stunts and special effects.
