Family Friendly=Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and the original Galactica.
The Sci Fi channel keeps throwing these curve balls that make no sense starting with cutting Farscape short. I just don't get it.

Something Wil Wheaton has pointed out, and I heartily agree with, is if you're going to have a child-genius character, acknowledge it!

How many times did Wesley Crusher really save the day? How about: how many times did he realize what was going on, but some adult told him to shut up? (Datalore comes to mind). If you have a character that's a genius, you have to do something with it. There's several instances where Wesley could have saved the day, if only the adults had listened to him. And Starfleet graduates be damned, if some kid with a massive IQ points out something odd, it'd be well worth your time to check it out. This, of course, is just a result of bad writing, but it should have been thought out better.

One of the most interesting suggestions I've seen for how Wesley should have been handled was to have made him pissed off at Picard for killing his dad from the very start. I realize that didn't fit Roddenberry's utopian vision of the future at the time, but honestly, it's called drama.

As for the original subject, I'm a DVR user anyways, so it doesn't really concern me.

Again, it's still just a bunch of development ideas at this point, so I wouldn't say Caprica is "family-friendly" or "not family-friendly." Let's all wait to see what happens. But I would agree, skewing younger wouldn't be my favorite choice.
