Snarfangel: Next up: EnBeCee.

Lyfetyme

You mean 10 or more people watched it?

Snarfangel: Next up: EnBeCee.

no no no- It's "EnnnnnBe-Cee!"

They're free to play pinochle in Hell for screwing over MST3K.

Well... Stargate: Universe isn't terrible. It's a bit darker and more "Stargate: Galactica" than I was expecting, but it's pretty good.

They still have Eureka, which has been consistently good from the start.

Caprica is coming out soon. I've seen the pilot movie, so I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, and Warehouse 13 was a pleasant surprise.

All in all, they've been doing alright. I don't have any real complaints other than the usual weekly Saturday night movie shiat-fest and the decidedly non-science fiction-related wrestling programming.

I can honestly say I've not watched "SyFy" since they started with that inane name. I will probably come back for Caprica, though I'm still working through my bitterness and rage over the goat fark that was the Battlestar's finale.
Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: They're free to play pinochle in Hell for screwing over MST3K.

Oh. And this.

Networks play with lineups all the time, sometimes it works out.

Also, feel free to ignore that the station had been steadily improving in the ratings, going back to before the rebranding.

Personally I think it's all just so that they can trademark the name.

I loved Galactica. (Other than the last half of season 4.)

I didn't like Caprica. Too much emo for me.

I'll start watching the SyFy channel again when they bring back the best show they ever had. (^)

Looking forward to Caprica - and not much else.

I still think Syfy is stupid.

Hates them for what they did to MST3K - but on the plus side, I have Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic, so I'm good.

I don't think I've tuned in since the rebranding. And it's not for lack of trying. I keep going through my channel guide, seeing if they're showing anything I want to watch. They haven't.

Here. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt just to prove I'm not "hating" or "being a hater" or whatever the kids call it. What's on right now?

"Swamp Devil," starring people I've never heard of. Up next at 9:00 is "Sea Beast," starring Corin Nemec. You might know him as Parker Lewis. And after that is "Eye of the Beast" starring James Van Der Beek. That's some quality programming.

The Icelander: Don't change that channel! You could watch plumbers run around in the dark!

I already have "New Super Mario Bros Wii."

I can't say that I watch the channel much anymore. Used to. Farscape. Stargate and other series, but with all the wrestling and crap-tac-ular fantasy, disaster, and Monster Animal movies, there isn't much there for me. USA has better programming, and the execs over at the SyFy seem bound and determined to NOT show any actual science fiction on the channel any more. Ghost Hunters? Really?

I think I watch more G4 than dropping by to see what crappy series that SyFy is trying to resurrect. Cripes, even the BBC channels have better science fiction.

The Icelander: No, them abandoning all modern conveniences to go have sex with a bunch of monkeys was NOT predictable. It wasn't even sane. And the hallucinations being real and watching everything? Not predictable, just stupid.

I never watched BSG, I was still haunted by flashbacks to the original series. However, is the summation you posted correct? The crew of the Galactica went native and started shagging apes? WTF?

GreenAdder: "Swamp Devil," starring people I've never heard of. Up next at 9:00 is "Sea Beast," starring Corin Nemec. You might know him as Parker Lewis. And after that is "Eye of the Beast" starring James Van Der Beek.

I'm holding out hope for "Mansquito V: The Quickening".

Mr. McPeanut: screw this "Midnight Meat Train" and wrestling shiat

Midnight Meat Train was a good movie, what are you talking about?

Only things I watch on Syfy are Eureka, Stargate Universe and Doctor Who and the latter was only shown on BBC this season.

AnotherDisillusionedCollegeStudent: I love Fark TV threads. It's hilarious to watch people run around, trying to ignore the fact that they're no one's target audience.

But I want to be stereotyped. I want to be classified.

Ennuipoet: Oh. And this.

TheGrayCat: Hates them for what they did to MST3K

ykarie: Why I hate 'SyFy': MST3K and Farscape.

Mr. McPeanut: /also begrudge the loss of MST3K
//screw this "Midnight Meat Train" and wrestling shiat, show MST3K, Farscape, and some B5 while you're at it


Instead of pouring a 40 oz. on the pavement, I'm pouring a flower vase of the Killer Shrew drink on the ground for the show.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the multiple mentions of Farscape in this thread.

As a self-appointed Farscape Evangelist, I'd suggest everyone pick up the new series set from Amazon and think good thoughts about the relaunch of Farscape that continues to be talked about.

WeezinTheJuice: Ghost Hunters is legit. Suck it haters

More power to you. You go right ahead and watch that. Have a glorious time of it even.

Doctor Who is now on BBC America and the schedule is close to the actual UK showing so I now have no reason to ever watch SYFY again.

There was a time when the Sci-Fi Channel actually liked to play science fiction shows and movies. Now, that's apparently too "sciencey" for them, and instead they focus on the pseudo-science garbage and conspiracy theory crap--and a fark ton of "urban fantasy" garbage that is cheaper to film and much less highbrow than trying to actually do some fact checking on occasion.

I miss the days when they aired science fiction shows and movies. It's getting rarer and rarer and in a way, I'm glad that they "rebranded" so folks wouldn't have to go in and be disappointed by their programming on the idea that they were a network dedicated to a genre. Instead, they can just use the goofy name, and eventually, they can forget the original premise, and just show Ghost Hunters and wrasslin' 22 hours a day...

ChicagoFarker: yeah, and Kartoon neytwerk!

Fude Netwerk

G-Fo

The Icelander: theorellior: I never watched BSG, I was still haunted by flashbacks to the original series. However, is the summation you posted correct? The crew of the Galactica went native and started shagging apes? WTF?

Yes. They found our planet and discovered that they could breed with the nomadic peoples living there. Then they decided to ditch all that useless stuff like clean water and hot showers and go have sex with them.

It's not like the ending made any less sense than the rest of the series.

JJ Abrams redeemed himself in my mind when he did Star Trek, and what he's been doing with Fringe for storytelling. BSG just cemented into my head that Ron Moore projects are to be avoided like Uwe Bolls'...
