Nerds unite to bring back cancelled sci-fi series

No, Captain James T. Kirk won't be suiting up again any time soon, but thanks to some enthusiastic fans, Farscape, the Sci-Fi Channel and Jim Henson Company coproduction, will be returning to the small screen in a two-part miniseries entitled, Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars, airing on SPACE beginning Friday, March 25 at 9 p.m. Cancelled in 2002, the show focused on the adventures of astronaut John Crichton and his crew, and to get viewers ready for the miniseries, SPACE will be airing the last five episode of the show's fourth (and final) season starting at 4 p.m. on March 25 as well. The show was brought back after fans organized extensive letter-writing campaigns and rallies and even took out advertising asking for the show's return, which included a front-page ad in Variety. A 45-minute behind-the-scenes special, The Making Of Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars will air Thursday, March 24 at 9 p.m.
