We knew that SyFy was up to no good when they revealed their plans for another “Battlestar Galactica” spin-off. The network announced last week that they were producing a new prequel called “Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome.” Now if you follow the “Galactica” timeline you know that SyFy already has another prequel on air called “Caprica,” so guess what? They canceled it! Apparently, there were too many cooks in the kitchen.

The SyFy Channel really knows how to milk a property for what its worth don’t they? After making a killing on their revamped “Battlestar Galactica” series, they produced a prequel, entitled “Caprica” which is currently on the air, but they won’t stop there. According to a press release sent out by the network, there’s more “Battlestar” on its way and it’s called “Blood & Chrome.” Did anyone else have a flashback of “Spartacus: Blood & Sand” when you read that?

New television shows seem to popping up faster than zits on a teenager these days.  Every season there seems to be several new network shows boasting attachments to high-profile actors.  But in recent years it seems that more often than not these names are of former A-List big screen players.  Why do we see these stars making the jump?  Steadier paycheck? Fewer location changes? Career revival? These are all reasonable answers for an actor to make their leap to syndication. Here are some big screen greats that have found marginal success as key players on television’s prime-time offerings.
