Indeed - the 1st 3 Seasons were by Fox - who then cancelled it - and Sci-Fi did the 4th Season on a very tight budget which didn't do the show any favours.
HOWEVER - there is a 5th Season which Sci-Fi has just done - suprised huh?

Season 5 was recorded and screened in the 99/00 television season. Admittedly there wasn't much publicity at the time, so I can understand how people might think it's newer. Cleavant Derricks was the only original cast member left by then. Jerry O'Connell's Quinn had been killed off and replaced with his paternal twin (who looked nothing like him) played by Robert Floyd. Pressure from the fans resulted in Wade Wells' return, but only for one episode and only to kill her off for good. Not only was she kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp, she was also repeatedly raped, forced to bear a mutant child, decapitated with her head kept alive in a tank and finally nuked. That was David Peckinpah giving the early season fans a two-fingered salute   |

I was going by various websites which state there were only 4 Season - so when I found the Sci-Fi site stating "New Season 5" I was easily mislead  I'll say it again... |

But how did it end, I remember watching the first 2 maybe 3 seasons. and the odd episode from the others, although was confused as to what had happened to all the main original cast.
Did it end happily?

That's a good question Arbo, and it's exactly why I plan to get every last eppy. I'll let you know if I find out. I'm sure someone knows and will post the intel.
