   Exactly the point.  Syfy puts on Science Fiction shows.  If the TV viewers   
   watch those shows, then those shows will get more seasons/episodes.  If the   
   TV viewers do not watch the shows, they will get cancelled.  Caprica got   
   cancelled because hardly anyone was watching the show.  Meanwhile, if TV   
   viewers are willing to watch a bunch of science fiction shows, then Syfy   
   will thrive by airing them.  If, however, people do not watch enough of the   
   science fiction shows, then Syfy will need to air something else, like   
   wrestling, to help pay the bills.  If Syfy cannot pay its bills with science   
   fiction shows, they will find other programming to supplement as needed.  If   
   Syfy were to only show science fiction shows and that resulted in them not   
   being able to pay the bills, then the channel would go bankrupt and there   
   would be no science fiction outlet at all on cable TV.  People should be   
   thankful for what they have and if they want more science fiction, they need   
   to watch it when it becomes available on the channel.
