Being Human - Season 3 - January 14, 2013 Defiance - NEW series - Apr 15, 2013 Lost Girl - Season 3 - January 14, 2013 Merlin - Season 5 - January 4, 2013 Rewind - NEW series - July 15, 2013
Especially considering the season will already have aired in Canada. It made sense to me for the US to try and catch up. US watchers will have figured out a download method long before January. It has a chatty fanbase that crosses borders.
There aren't many US cable outlets besides Syfy that would pick it up and since they already have a show in the works about time travel and terrorism it probably won't be an issue anyway.
Reelz is the only other network that I can think of that would bite. I'm sure that, just like you, Shaw Media would prefer that Syfy pick it up because the deal would be more lucrative.
Im kind of surprised that ABC didnt pick up merlin. Merlin does have to deal with myth and magic. Theres no cursing from what i can remember and ABC is showing ONCE upon a TIME.

I think that Syfy picking up Rewind to series significantly decreases the chances of the network acquiring the US broadcast rights to Continuum.
ReplyDeleteJan 14th is so far away.
ReplyDeleteBeen wrong before and I'll be wrong again, but I don't feel like Continuum is right for a US pickup.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. Well, SyFy needs the ratings!
ReplyDeleteSeptember/October. They usually only announce it like a week (or maybe two weeks) beforehand.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's true! January 14th it's too far away!!! :(
ReplyDeleteDoctor Who is rumoured to start in August, so I think it will as that ends.
ReplyDeletejanuary is like 4 months away and they are making us wait that long?!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCANNOT WAIT. SERIOUSLY.

ReplyDeleteCan not wait for Merlin to start!
ReplyDeleteI think NBC showed the first season (or part of the first season), but eventually it got kicked to SyFy.
ReplyDeletelost girl is awesome great choice syfy cant wait
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait for seasom 3 of Being Human... Loved the last 2 episodes... Excited for the next...
ReplyDeleteThey started it months ago.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what happened. First season on NBC for a summer run, and then succeeding seasons on SyFy, which is also part of NBCUniversal.
