Subject: re: SeaQuest
 
What Michael said in his post of SeaQuest ("... all that money heading down
the drain") reminded me of ABC's big budget flop _Battlestar Galactica_.
They reportedly spent big bucks on the series, resulting in some okay FX,
but the story lines were standard and run-of-the-mill.  That was okay for
me in 1978, when I was still overwhelmed by _Star Wars_, but not later on
when my tastes for good stories developed!  I hope too that _SeaQuest_
develops into a better series than it is now, just because I want Steven
Speilberg to have a success with TV.  To me, _Star Trek TNG and DS9_ had
pretty weak premieres, but developed into good series by the end of the
first season.  Does anyone konw if _SeaQuest_ has managed to hold on to its
67 million viewers it had since the premiere?
