The Secret of the Wednesday’s Haul

TV Squad is linking to another article elsewhere on the net about the return of Farscape as webisodes, those cute li’l 10 minute productions that Sci-Fi can throw up on their website to satisfy the most rabid fan.

The “Farscape” franchise will live on as a live-action Web series. Sci Fi Channel executive Craig Engler confirmed that the company has closed a deal with The Jim Henson Company for a 10-episode webisode series. So far no stars or writers are signed to appear and no story plotted, but if successful, the project could lead to re-igniting the franchise on the air.

Now I was a fan of this series; it was trippy enough to be entertaining and occasionally rose to the levels of very, very good. It played around psychologically with it’s main character more than most sci-fi shows would dream of doing. But unless I’m missing something, are a lot of people clamoring for this shows return? If I can remember, I may check these out whenever they show up on line but Sci-Fi’s past Battlestar Galactica webisodes are actually quite forgetful and added little to the series. I wonder if something like this would work better with a non-serial TV show. If they did something like this with Doctor Who, I’d really be interested.

Now that I think of it, was that what the BBC did with the Sarah Jane show?
