Default Re: Best SF Series that Almost Were

It had 22 episodes. and some movies. To be viable as a syndication you need at least 80 episodes to strip it in reruns. The target is usually 100 episodes. A series that crankas through 150+ episodes is a great success. That is why though I despise ST:TNG it is a very SUCCESSFUL series.

That is the key metric when you define success. Will it make second riun money?

Andromeda, as bad as it was, made second and third run money.
