Oh my god, Farscape! I loved that show, and even though I came to it late, I was heartbroken when the cancelled it. And yes, I feel as you do: the movie wasn't nearly enough for me.
It's one of the reasons I almost never start watching a new show until it's well into the second season. I feel like I've been burned in the past by tv networks who get us all excited, only to cancel a show before it's really hit its creative stride.
And with so many opportunities to watch online, I feel like the networks can afford to back off a bit on their overly-strident dedication to live ratings. Just because a show isn't being watched live doesn't mean it isn't being watched, especially if the scheduling gods have completely lost their minds and scheduled their show opposite another show that still has a devoted fanbase (that I happen to belong to, in many cases).

Okay, rant over.
