"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)
Quote:The broadcast kicked off with a 0.7 at 8 p.m and fell to a 0.4 by its final half-hour, indicating those many of those few viewers who decided to check out "Virtuality" weren't impressed with what they saw...

I watched the first 30 minutes or so, found it *exceedingly* boring, and it very much influenced me to go out, which is very rare for me on a Friday night. Good TV can make you stay home, and bad TV can make you go out! :)
Quote: On the flipside, I *DID* watch "Mutant Chronicles" on SciFi Saturday night. It wasn't necessarily *good*', but it was certainly more imaginative than Virtuality. Very steam-punk in concept, very "300" or "Sin City" in its style and execution. It was over-the-top, cartoonish, ultra-violent, very bloody - but I was somewhat entertained, especially given that it was SciFi, and it was Saturday night.

Quote:Originally posted by Bytemite: I wonder if maybe Fox as a network just isn't a good platform for Sci-Fi? The only Sci-Fi show that I can recall doing well on Fox was the X-Files... And even back in the first season, Fox was focused on other series because it didn't consider the X-files commercially promising. X-Files also struggled with it's ratings for the first season... Which may be a sign of a problem with Fox's demographics, and that only after a Sci-Fi show has established itself as a cult classic with steady viewership will a Sci-Fi show on Fox have decent ratings?
