Finding Independently Produced TV Shows?

bornagainpenguin writes "Slashdot recently reported that Stargate Universe was canceled, taking with it yet another of the vanishingly smaller network Sci-Fi shows to watch on TV. In the comments of that story someone mentioned Pioneer One as an alternative to traditional network series. I'm downloading it now and looking forward to seeing it, but I'm wondering what else is available that is independently produced and has a greater emphasis on plot and actually finishing the story? I'm already a fan of efforts like Batman: City of Scars, Starwreck: In the Pirkinning, and Star Trek: Phase II so I know that great things are possible, I just don't know where to find them! Can you help by making some recommendations?"

You want to know the hard truth? There is no money in producing a genre for a fanbase mainly populated by people who are proud of their ideology of free entertainment and ignoring advertisers. What, you think they can keep donating their productions to you?
But please, go on pirating like there are no consequences, then bury your head in the sand while cold reality splashes in your face.
It's a pretty simple thing. If they can't make money, they won't invest money. Dur.
