Science fiction shows usually have a set story that can't go on forever. 100 episodes or 5 seasons is more than enough to start and end a story the proper way.

Scfi TV shows is more type of people not everyone..Where cop shows ,romance ,comedy and drama appeal to most everyone.

Scfi shows are also very costly to make and need very high rating.

Well reality TV are dirt cheap to make and can have very low ratings and make it past the 5 or 6 season.

Most TV these days are cheap reality TV .And no wonder why the cable companies and sci scfi channel wonder why the ratings are low these days.

In today's hostile climate of cheap reality TV that killed TV.Star trek or X files would never make it past the 4 season.

If you dumbed TV down enough with crappy cheap reality TV no wonder people have cut the cable and buy movies these days.

Most scfi these days have gone to movies ,both the X-files and star trek base.Even stargate sg1 and Atlantis.

I also think the 90's to 2006 we saturated the market with space base scfi shows and now the shift is to zombies ,vampires ,super heroe and super supernatural. Give it other 5 to 8 years and alien and space shows may make come back.

You may get spin of movies like alien box set with Ripley may be not her but some one like her,predators and x-files in 5 to 8 years after we saturated the market with zombies ,vampires ,super heroe and super supernatural.And alien and space shows may make come back.
