If You Run "Peacock" and "SyFy" Like "Generic Broadcast Networks" From The 1970s, You'll End Up With What "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Is Stuck With Now

 

Great places to hang your hat, and that's it....

"So Say We All!!"

The "General Rule of Thumb" is: "If it's Robust, Thriving, and Putting a 'Streaming Service' On The Map, 'Comcast / NBC-Universal' Doesn't Own It"

 

"So Say We All!!"

The Owners of "Peacock-Streaming" Claiming They Know How to Run a "Streaming Service"

 

....Is the same thing as someone who never attended "Flight School" for years, claiming they know how to pilot a "Jumbo Jet."

"So Say We All!!"

When "Media Historians" Look Back and Wonder What Caused "Peacock-Streaming" to Fail, It Will be For These "Discovered Reasons"....

 

1. Missed opportunities: Not developing "Battlestar Galactica' as an "Identity Creator" for "Peacock-Streaming" as "Stranger Things" is for "Netflix" and "Star Wars / Indiana Jones" are for "Disney."

If subscribers know what you are, they will subscribe to you. "Peacock" hasn't learned this in 5 years.

2. Emulating "SyFy Channel's" penchant for laziness in not being terribly interested in anything it does.

3. "Peacock" being the "Lowest Budgeted" streaming service in history.

4. "Peacock" avoiding "Science Fiction / Horror / Fantasy" programming like the plague as opposed to all of the other streaming services embracing those very same genres.

5. Embracing alleged "Best Selling Novels" (no one has actually heard of before) as new programming.

"So Say We All!!"

This Wouldn't Have Looked Good on Paper, as a "Spin-off / Rip-off" of John Carpenter's "Thing" Movie

 

Yet it was "Green-Lit" anyway.

"So Say We All!!"

This Has Got to Be The Most "Long Forgotten Gem" In "Comcast / NBC-Universal's Repertoire"

 

Yet, it hasn't been "Green-Lit" yet as a sequel on "Peacock" or "SyFy?"

"So Say We All!!"

Sometimes This Blog Longs For The "Good Old Days" of "Cheesy, Bad Television" on NBC!!"

 

"So Say We All!!"

Somewhere In Between "Howard The Duck", and "ALF", The TRUTH About Ronald D. Moore's "GINO" - (Galactica In Name Only) Series Resides

 

"So Say We All!!"

....And Then Put Both of Them On "Supertrain" For a "Cross-Country Journey?"

 

"So Say We All!!"

Maybe "Howard The Duck" and "Alf" Could Be Teamed-Up In a New Production?

 

"So Say We All!!"

What? What?? "SyFy" and "Peacock" Didn't Snatch This Up Yet For a New Production? But, It's One of The "Biggest Box Office Flops" of All Time!!

"So Say We All!!"

Apparently, "Hard Copy" - (Bluray, DVD) Doesn't Want It Either

 

If so, it would join the "Long Forgotten Ranks" of this one....

"So Say We All!!"

"Cancellations" and "Cuts" Have Been Part of "NBC's Vocabulary" (More So Than Any Other Corporation) Going Back Decades

"So Say We All!!"

In Many, Many Cases, "Love" Is Strictly In The Eye of The "Beholder"

 

....And NEVER any "Mass Market Audience"....

"So Say We All!!"

It Will Always Be a "Mystery" as to What "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Inexplicably Falls In Love With

"So Say We All!!"

Does "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Have a "Special DVD / Bluray Department" For Dealing With "Anticipated Failures on DVD / Blu-Ray?"

 

Comcast / NBC-Universal: "Yes, we know that we'll only sell about 500 of each. Can we still get both displayed on the "Wal-Mart Shelves" before "Halloween?"

It's like looking in the mirror and finally acknowledging what you see....

"Yes, I've got a really bad acne problem there."

"So Say We All!!"

It Has "Long Since" Gone Down In History (1979 - 2025) as "Never Properly Utilized"

 

"So Say We All!!"

A Show of Hands!! Those Who Could Never Tell The Difference Between "SyFy" and "Peacock" in "Management Style!!''

 

"So Say We All!!"

Every Time "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Looks For "Gold" It Finds "Lumps of Coal"

 

And pretty much everything else in "Comcast / NBC-Universal's Library" as well.

"So Say We All!!"

So, What Is The "Anti-Battlestar Corporation" (Comcast / NBC-Universal), Not Doing Today (Among Other Things), to Not Make Money?

 

1. Not making money with "Battlestar."

2. Not making money with "Peacock-Streaming."

3. Not making money with "SyFy."

4. Not making money with "R.I.P.D."

5. Not making money each time there is not a brand new "Jurassic World" movie in theatrical release, which is 99% of the time.

6. Is a new "Wicked" sequel at least 5 years away?

"So Say We All!!"

The "Going Nowhere Properties" (From Day One), "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Made Instead of "Battlestar"

 

These "Routine Bad Decisions" generate no sympathy from this blog for "Comcast / NBC-Universal."

"So Say We All!!"

All of "Peacock's" Present Problems Could Have Been Solved With One Simple Solution

 

Bringing back the "1978 Battlestar Galactica Series" as a "Streaming Mini-Series" with new cast members.

That would have put "Peacock" on the same "Race Track" with "Netflix" and "Disney+."

Ronald D. Moore's "Schlock" wouldn't have worked, no matter what you did to try and adjust it to a "Mass Market Audience ".

"So Say We All!!"

An "Anonymous Reaction" to a New Schedule From a "Faceless Streaming Service"
