SciFi channel to become.. SyFy channel

[Orius]

Sorry, there's nothing hip about Mac. Same applies to "SyFy."

-- I'm a PC.

Yeah, that was my point.

And I like how Microsoft is shooting back at those ads by having kids use computers in their latest commercials.

Is that real? It looks like it. What a dumb idea. I hope they don't start having reality dating shows, wrestling is bad enough.

Aww, come on. I think Syphi would be the perfect place for Rock of Love or A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

I can't wait to see their on-air station name change video...

Syphi: Now Transmitting.

Ooooorrrrr...


Rocket Love- a show in which space vixens try to find true love with Flash Gordon, Commando Cody, Buck Rodgers...and, of course, Capt. Kirk and Will Ryker.

and

A Shot at Love with Turanga Leela

(Turanga Leela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

In good news, though, they're going to be airing Primeval, an excellent little show from England. I watched it on BBC America and loved it.

I wish someone would create a classic Sci-Fi channel. Older science fiction movies, and classic sci-fi FV shows---one that doesn't focus a lot on original programming or cross genres (even old horror movies and shows would be great here). There is a need and demand for this, so why doesn't it happen?

Shows like: Classic Trek, Twilight Zone, The Invaders (old show), The Immortal (old show), etc.

That would be a ratings bomb

NetFlix has an okay selection of old stuff though.

First of all, a lot of those shows get aired late night in all kinds of channels...including SyFy and Chiller.

Secondly, that IS how Sci-Fi Network started. It got them some ratings because, at the time, there was no real competition. Nowadays, however, there is a fair amount of genre fiction on TV, both on cable and mainstream channels.

 

[D24Gamer]

All I can is, I'd buy it But yes, you are correct, Sci-Fi did start off this way.
Kind of like Sci-Fi for Turner Classic Movies...in that vein. Remember, "Groovie Movies" on USA Network?
Saturday Nightmares? Olden classics, not this new junk.

Ever since MST3k went off the air, Scifi just hasn't been the same...
