Because it's supposedly a natural fit and might last awhile longer at
The Sci-Fi Channel?  The show is almost certainly going to get cancelled
at FOX in very short order, so why bother?  Maybe they (Berman, etc.)
don't care if it gets picked up or how long it lasts.  They (Berman,
etc.) get paid for the pilot and whatever shows they make before it gets
canned.  I guess, think of it as a really short-term, temp job; you know
it'll be gone in no time but you make a few bucks, so what the hell.
Move on and sell 'em the next pilot and soon to be canned, show.  Rinse
& repeat.
