its a hard show to like for everyone

Incorrect. "For everyone"? So how come some people DO like it?

Your OPINION is NOT the Word of God. Just because you personally don't like it does NOT make it a bad show.

Take comedy, for example: You have low-brow fart joke Family Guy type comedy, you have intellectual Frasier type comedy, and loads in between. Some people prefer one and think the other is rubbish. Some prefer the other, and think the former is rubbish. It's down to what resonates with your sense of humour. It's just opinion.

You can't say "this is a hard show to like for everyone" because it's not true. "This is a hard show for me to like" is a valid opinions.

Internet supports 'lack of funding' due to falling ratings. That may have come from Wikipedia, but it has references.

I don't think he meant "everyone finds this show hard to like" - it seems that it was more along the lines of "not everyone finds this show easy to like".

But that's true of every show. Of everyTHING. So why bother saying it?

Comedy is one example. Some prefer Frasier, some prefer Larry the Cable Guy... Someone who likes one might find the other "not easy to like", but that doesn't make the other a bad show, does it?

And falling ratings also do not mean a bad show. It means a lot of people didn't like it, but if some do, then it's still a good show for whatever reasons those people have for liking it.

Atlantis calm down, I'm not saying its a bad show, I'm saying that not everyone likes and that is why the ratings are going down. Thank you Megadroid, that is exactly what I meant, if you look at what people in the US like now days (dancing with the stars  ) then you can see why fewer people would like it

Thats just want the network said, but it caused a storm, the network was displeased with the amount of viewers due to people watching them online rather than watching the episodes premier just like chuck has had problems in this area. When the network cancelled the show it caused a storm both online and in the news because it cost alot of people their jobs and because thousands of people signed protests to bring it back, unfortunately it never did.

Because people recorded it or watched it online rather than when the episode was premiered on its network it looked as tho the viewers were declining but in fact they were not.

Unlike chuck where the network warned that people needed to watch the premier to support the show or it would be cancelled the network that made farscape never made any mention of this untill they just randomly cancelled it.

Yea that is true, if it started today it might survive better considering there are places like hulu that are encouraged by networks instead of discouraged
