Man, have you seen the ratings stargate brings in? That is good business sense, especially considering how cheap Atlantis is to make. Most of those sets are so cheap Dr. Who would refuse to shoot on them.

You forget SciFi killed MST3k until it pulled a phoenix can came back into multiple forms.

Actually Best Brains decided to end MST3k and go off and do something else. It took them a few years to realise that, oh yeah, they were really good mocking bad entertainment.
Actually they did release a few short films with the bots recently. They aren't particularly good.

Don't even get me started on their obscenely bad home movie releases.

Honestly, from a theoretical standpoint, I do like sci fi's concept behind these movies: have a budget of nothing so that it's impossible to have a loss and, therefore, the director has the freedom to do just about any damn thing he feels like. It's a shame that I've yet to see any of this ever pay off with an actually watchable movie. Maybe the problem is that when they're making the movie they really can't tell they're making a bad movie. I've seen a making of video for Zarkorr The Destroyer and the people on the set were having a blast.
