Technically BSG was a remake and a reboot, so in a sense it's not really that original, only that it was able to expand and become more than just its 1980s old name brand, and make it something special.

And as for shows being filmed in Canada, it doesn't necessarily mean America is a television wasteland, it only means that budget and costs-wise, filming in Canada or another location is cheaper for production than filming in the US. It's not a wasteland thing as much as it is financial convenience, especially for networks who don't have that much money to began with.

Oh, I understand the motives for filming in Canada...my comment was more sarcastic than anything else.
