   Nope. SciFi / SyFy have a bad habit of calling the shows they make   
   "original" simply because they make them rather than buy them from   
   elsewhere.   
      
   There's a similar stupidity here in New Zealand where a show is not labelled   
   as a "rerun" when it's played on one network, even though it has already   
   played on another network.
