Who Have Been The "Einsteins" Working In The "SyFy Channel Programming Department" Believing That Science Fiction Box Office Flops From Years Past Would Make Profitable SyFy Channel Series?

"John Carpenter's The Thing"...movie from 1982 of course, spawned the SyFy Channel's..."Helix"...series, at least in its first (low rated) season. You know, right? Isolated scientists at an arctic research research station infected with some sort of otherworldly or man made (Science Fiction-y) virus that is gooey and slimy all over the human body. This is John Carpenter territory!!

Wrap your logical, business oriented, and dollars & cents minds around this scenario...

SyFy Channel Programmer #1: "Hey, I have an idea!! Remember the '12 Monkeys' movie from 1995 with Bruce Willis?

SyFy Channel Programmer #2: "The one that totally flopped at the box office?"

SyFy Channel Programmer #1: "Let's make a tv series out of it!!"

SyFy Channel Programmer #2: "I like it!! Just because it failed at the box office doesn't mean it will fail on the SyFy Channel as a tv series!!"

Read the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com...

And read these books at another location where Universal Studios executives and its stealth marketers won't be able to post negative, misleading (stealth marketed) reviews of the books via them purchasing candy and Rogaine Foam on Amazon.com (allowing them access to the Amazon book review section) and not actually buying and reading the books. I'll leave the other 150 global locations under wraps for now.
