• He was always too good an executive for Syfy Channel. Hopefully these “other opportunities” see him either producing again or overseeing production for one of the tiffany cable channels where he can have an opportunity to really show his taste (like AMC). Look forward to seeing where he lands.

• Andrew is amazing. He’ll do amazing where ever he is. He was very instrumental in Being Human’s success. Bet he has many other offers.

  • How is “Being Human” original programming? How original is taking a successful BBC show and recasting it with Americans? The problem with SyFy is they don’t seem to appreciate original programming that isn’t either reality or wrestling based!

• Andrew is one of those guys who’s bounced around from job to job and never really made an impact. He’s nice enough but not effective. I doubt anyone will notice when he leaves . . . .

• Plotkin is a very good guy and a super solid producer. He belongs on set and hopefully this next venture will take him there. Good luck Plottie!

• He just didn’t seem that bright to me when I dealt with him, but execs are always part of a revolving door… And I say good luck to you sir… I hope you land in a better place than SyFy was for you.

• Having worked with Andrew in a few of his different incarnations over the years, I can say that he is one of those rare execs who loves material, works very well with writers, and elegantly navigates studio politics without being cutthroat or selling his soul. He’ll do well wherever he lands, and they will be lucky to have him.

• Maybe, just maybe… now SyFy can get real SciFi shows on the air? Prob’ not.
