Nevermind that Friday night X-Files had passed almost a decade before to Sunday nights. Nevermind that X-Files ratings increased by moving it to Sunday nights (except the final season).Agreed on all counts.I have no inside knowledge, but I doubt they believe pro-wrestling is their future. There are a multitude of other programs that belie that thought. I believe it was a simple matter of ratings support. They knew basically how well rated a show Friday Night Smackdown was and moved it to a sister network that could support the ratings. It doesn't matter which network you put a pro wrestling show on. The fans would follow. If they moved it to Lifetime Women's Network then I would be watching that channel to keep up with the show. It's two hours of programming out of 168, not quite a new direction for the channel.I do agree over the "reality" ghost hunter shows. There are too many of them to not call it a trend. Watching some guy whisper "Did you see that?!" while I answer "No, *click*" is not even remotely entertaining. This crap should be shoved into the overnight lineup on Chiller, not SyFy.</blockquote>
