.I used to do contract work for a company that attended the 2 main MIP television market shows each year, MIPCom and MIPtv. These are basically the TV equivelant of the Cannes film festival; producers go there to the south of France to sell their shows & television programmers come to buy them. This is one of the largest trade shows in the world, and every major production company, along with many celebrities & industry heavyweights, are there.
Out of curiosity, I called up a buddy still with the firm & asked him how last month's MIP went (the shows are held in March & October) & if he saw the SCI-Fi cahnnel or BSG booth. His first words were "Oh, man...everybody's fallin' over themselves to get that new Galactica". Turns out that the new BSG was one of the hottest properties at the show, and definitely THE hot Sci-Fi property, and buyers from all over the word were in a bidding war for it now that they had the guarantee of a full season. He said the last time he saw a reaction like that to a new show was for the sale of Sex & the City into syndication; I was at that show, and it was a huuuge event, so if there's even a comparison, the new BSG is going to be gracing screens all over the world for some time to come starting in about a year
i'm counting the days till next monday..
