Is sci-fi a dying genre on television?

The record of successful science fiction television shows in recent years hasn't been very good. More shows have been cancelled than have survived, which is probably true of any genre of TV show, but it seems that networks are much quicker to euthenize shows that actually have potential. Does that mean that the genre is dying out on television?

Perhaps, but here are 18 sci-fi shows in the works that could help revive the genre to its televised glory days, whenever those were.

One of the shows mentioned, and one that I am looking forward to, is the Star Wars live action series. No one's really sure of the title or when it will actually begin airing, but it sounds like it might not be as bad as Phantom Menace.

If sci-fi does die off on television some day, it will continue to find a home on the internet on various web series.
