syfy channel what the heck?

[TK1961]

What a disaponitment this channel has become. I don't know who is in charge over there but they have their head up their butt. They have taken a perfect situation and reuined it. Their original programs and moives suck and now wrestling?? :confused I thought I would be seeing reruns of ALL the classic sifi shows of the past but no I get really bad movies and freaking ghost shows. Who wouldn't want to see Space 1999 or UFO how about Star Trek TOS? the list would get long. Friday night is a historicaly bad TV night so why not replay BGS (the new one) from the begining? Not to mention the huge pile of films they could be showing. Last night I watched Ferocious planet just because Joe Flanigan was in it. This movie SUCKED I would have rather have watched something like Forbiden planet. When Stargate Universe ends I will have no reason to watch syfy channel again.

Between the wrestling, the ghost shows and the horrid Asylum movies... we never watch the channel any longer.

:unsure

 

[SmilingOtter]

Don't forget the Quantum Kitchen show...

At least, as far as new programs go, Face Off was a good concept.

I remember them running the original full length TOS episodes a number of years ago and making a big deal of it. I don't think they completed the series before ditching it. Ever since the previous idiot took over (and has now left) they've had a serious disdain for sci fi at the sci fi channel.

I stopped watching that channel years ago.

 

[CB2001]

Blame Bonnie Hammer. I know I do.

 

[Stitch]

Blame Bonnie Hammer. I know I do.

She is not longer in that position, but I will blame her for rest my life! :angry

 

[cboath]

She's the one i said was no longer there. Didn't she pick her replacement though?

 

[Rodann]

The Siffy Channel........bleh. It's just like MTV not playing music, only they don't play sci fi. At least CourtTV had the sense to ACTUALLY change their name......but "Sy Fy"? That's not even a thing. Probably the same type of braintrust that came up with "ion" television.:rolleyes Wow a double entendre/play on words that doesn't actually make sense, yeah that's a professional network.:lol

...More like "Sigh Fye". Get it? I just came up with that now. Yay. Now I'm a loser too.:lol

:unsure

Not to mention the editing and commercial breaks every 3 minutes. Don't even try to watch Serenity on SyFy.

 

[Wildunc1]

It has a couple ok shows but for the most part it stinks. I wish it would start showing sci-fi shows again.

 

[Wes R]

I watched it a few weeks ago when Star Trek :TMP was on but that was the first time in like 6 years. As soon as they started making their own movies and put wrestling on (not to mention took Anime off) i gave up.

We can never forget their first strike, killing MST3K.

 

[Tan Djarka]

It's been dwonhill ever since they cancelled Farscape. The reason for the change to "SyFy" is that it's clearly not "SciFi" any more.

 

[Mola Rob]

We can never forget their first strike, killing MST3K.

A totally unforgivable action. They will burn in hell for that. :angry

 

[Wes R]

Sadly i only saw MST3K when they showed it on Saturday mornings, it had been canceled way before we even had the channel offered. I wish i had a few million dollars to make my own cable scifi network that would have large blocks of new and old shows.

Well, part of the problem with SyFy is that Si-Fi fans turn against shows far too quickly, such as with Stargate Universe.

That show is a darker, edgier Si-Fi show with a stargate but because it's not Atlantis or SG1 people complained and didn't give the show a chance. It's really an awesomely written and cleaver show. It sucks that shows like that get replaced with freaking Wrestling but, when we do not support the shows or give them time, Wrestling is what you get.

In all honesty the SGU fans get it. Just like with Firefly, there's a huge number of fans trying to keep the show on. The save Stargate Universe facebook page has over 17,000 members alone.

Let's not forget Bonnie Hammer killed Farscape too.
The likes of Wrestling and Sharktopus almost make me lament Bonnie's retirement...

 

[moffeaton]

I don't know why you guys complain - crap tv equals more free time to make models and props, right? I love it when addictive TV shows get cancelled - I feel the free time open up! Lost ended, I got an hour back. BSG ended - I got another hour back. I barely watch any TV, and get a ton of stuff built - it's GREAT!

If we all did that, quality TV would return.

 

[Larry Young]

No, it wouldn't. What would happen is what is happening now: other, not-us people are watching TV.
