411Mania.com posted a new interview with former Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda star Kevin Sorbo and here are few excerpts.
TONY: Are you surprised that people still talk about Andromeda? I know a lot of people who still talk about the show to this day. It's interesting, because the show is finding new fans every day.
Kevin Sorbo: I can't believe with Andromeda, we finished in December of 2004, so it's coming up on four years when it wrapped up. The Tribune owned it, right there out of your hometown, Chicago there, but The Tribune was unbelievably lazy in promoting the show. Still, it stayed number one in first-run syndication for its entire five-year run, and I think number one it has to do with the crossover fans from Hercules wanted to see what was going on, so they fell for the show, and they liked the characters on the show. And number two, people who were fans of Gene Roddenberry, obviously, and then people who were just fans of sci-fi in general helped keep that show around. But they never, ever promote it. So, I think now, because there's so much product out there and so much stuff out there, and people go to Best Buy and say, 'Oh my gosh, I'd like to see it.' And they watch the first season, and they're hooked. And you're right, I just did a big convention in Atlanta called Dragon Con, and I must have had fifty people a day come up and say, 'I never watched the show when it was on the air, but now I'm hooked on it, and I just got all the DVDs.' It's nice that it keeps finding a life like that, and I think that people that are fans of the genre are always gonna keep finding it through the years to come.
