Congratulations To Studios USA

For adding another month onto the delay in getting Galactica
revived. We're at 14 months now. In the television industry,
this is a "Worlds Record" for taking the longest amount of
time in producing a television production. If this were
ordinary circumstances, we'd have finished up the first
season of a new Galactica production by now, and would be
entering a second season. Galactica currently being owned
by the people who own it, does not qualify this situation
as being "Ordinary Circumstances."

Since StudiosUSA is only accustomed to producing mindless
dribble like "Blind Date" and "John Edward",-(Studio
Audience Schlock), there is nothing to be surprised
about in this delay. I think in addition to all of the
other problems that has plagued Galactica coming back,
there is also a "Quality Control Problem" with the
copyright owners. There is a past track record here of
not producing quality television; and Galactica being
in the hands of people like this, is like "Sid & Marty
Krofft" suddenly being asked to produce "Joseph & The
Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" for Broadway. Its a
phenomenal manifestation of incompatibility between
management and the property.

How bad is this incompatibility? 14 months will turn into
15 months with this revival delay. 15 months will effort-
lessly slip into 2 years, 5 years, 10 years in Galactica
not coming back. Those who still believe Galactica is
coming back after this ridiculous delay, I tip my hat
to you; because I admire your idealism, and your childlike
sense of hope.

When Galactica switches owners, and falls into the right
hands, such as Richard Hatch, my hope will return. Until
then, it won't.
