What bothers me, in addition to all that "reality" tv stuff and that they do not do any of the Sci programming done by TMC, AMC, Discovery, Science, Cartoon Network or even Spike, they spend a considerable amount of money on their Saturday movie programming, which I think is trash. They could showcase new talent, host a news show and interview show, special effects behind the scences shows, reviews shows for considerably less, etc. The quality of those Saturday night movies is worse than anything I've seen come from lifetime or USA when they were making films. I wonder if they are making money with them on DVD like they did with Stargate. They are extremely forgettable - in fact I NEED to forget them, so I can not imagine anyone renting or buying the DVDs'.
Despite all their colossal mistakes, they have the same team running the show as far as I can tell They leave me scratching my head in disgust From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bosco Bosco Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2008 1:03 PM To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] New Show "CHA$E" Premiers on SciFi Channel I wish we could program and run a channel together.

Remember how people were criticizing MTV over the years for not being a music video channel anymore? But "Real World" aside, a least it was doing a lot of music-industry related stuff, like reality shows with musicians. If SciFi is to move away from pure scifi programming, there are other options, like doing bios on science fiction writers, have science-oriented shows like History Channel's great "Universe", or their shows of future tech weapons and such. And there are so many old classic scifi shows, movies and cartoons out there I bet they could buy. Surely AMC, TMC, Boomerang, and Cartoon Network don't own *all* the old scifi stuff? I guess you're right about a name change. "Beyond" indeed: beyond my limits of patience. ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] com I think that's why they want to change the network's name. Now I'm starting to wish the netword did go belly-up when it came close to doing so along time ago. At least it would have died with dignity. -GTW In a message dated 11/13/08 1:23:28 AM, KeithBJohnson@ comcast.net writes: Hell, this isn't any more real "scifi" than ECW, "Scare Tactics", or "Man vs. Mansion". What the hell is wrong with Scifi Channel? I mean, if you're gonna do this, and call it scifi, at least serve up something a la "Death Race 2000" or "The Running Man" ************ ** Get movies delivered to your mailbox.
