They gave up all pretenses the minute they aired wrestling picked up as spillover from USA.

Bonnie Hammer will burn in the deepest depths of hell for that crap.

Apos: "Lost Girl" has lost its charm.

Same here. Eventually the hotness failed to sufficiently compensate for the stupid.

Reminds me of a non-classy version of PBS' 1900 house

Please, guys. Just release "Blood and Chrome" on Blu-Ray. So I can stop pretending to care.

Mugato: The Learning Channel airs shows about a day in the life of a morbidly obese toddler. Mtv hasn't played a music video in a decade. The History Channel is devoted to shows about people pawning and/or hoarding shiat. Yeah, it really sucks that "SyFy" doesn't actually put out the myriad of awesome science fiction that they could but there are very few cable channels that actually have anything to do with what their acronyms or logos suggest.

Check and mate

Moodybastard: Anyone else remember the build up to the channel launch...the timer, the marathon of great/crappy/old sci-fi shows?

Wasn't there a channel that did that?

There was indeed. It disappeared about five years ago.

Last year I cut down my cable package which excluded SyFy, just to beef up my download speeds with the same money. I have yet to see a down side.

Vodka Zombie: Seriously, who watches that shiat? I've never met anyone who admits to watching anything other than Warehouse 13 on SyFy.

I watch Face Off and now Hot Set on SyFy, but only because those are particular areas of interest for me.
