When "Terra Nova" finally premiered in September 2011, no doubt many
viewers were confused as to what they were supposed to be watching.
Was this a family drama? A prehistoric action-adventure series? A
sci-fi program?

That confusion could very well stem from the long, ever-evolving path
that "Terra Nova" took to the TV screen -- it's easy to lose focus
when you lay off most of your writing staff, as the series did in
November 2010.

[...]

The show's upwardly spiraling cost was the biggest wooly mammoth in
the prehistoric room, with some estimates saying that the pilot could
cost as much as $20 million.

"It�s a debacle. The cost of the show is kind of a moving target,� one
individual close to the project told TheWrap. �They�re down in
Australia building sets like it's going to be the next �Jurassic
Park.��

Pure waanzin. Bij andere series komen er "notes" van de directie over
futiliteiten, en hier werd er met geld gesmeten dat het een lieve lust
was.

By the January 2012 Television Critics Association winter summit -- a
year after Graves predicted that "Terra Nova" would attract a wider
audience than "Lost" -- Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly was
speaking about the show in almost eulogistic tones.

"It was an exciting bet to take, and I think it's proven that it was
worthwhile," Reilly told the assembled reporters. "Everyone kept
saying, 'Doesn't it have to do huge ratings?' The fact is, if this is
all we produce, we made money on it, the studio made money on it, the
audience enjoyed it, the show looked fantastic."

In short, the same claim that many gamblers will make when asked if
they're ahead and behind -- "I'm pretty much breaking even."

Aha, dus de bazen waren zichzelf aan het voorliegen.
