I feel you, Keith.  I decided to tune-in to Ghost Hunters Live for a few
minutes yesterday to make sure I wasn't missing something great about
the show.  Couldn't take more than 30 secs of it.

With SGU barely holding my attention and my favorite shows now on
network TV, I've sort of given up on SyFy.

 Again, we must complain about SyFy's programming choices. Here we are,
with Halloween on a Saturday. A perfect opportunity to pull out some
great horror and scifi flicks. Maybe show Dog Soldiers--one of the
best movies they air-- at a time other than 1 am. Perhaps an all day
marathon of something like The Dresden Files, which after all deals
with the supernatural. Handpick eps of Enterprise, Eureka,
Warehouse 13, etc. that are spooky Hell, I'd even
accept--reluctantly--a rerunning of something moderately entertaining
like Stephen King's Storm of the Century. How about a miniseries like
Tin Man.

 But what do we get instead? Fu*ing Ghost Hunters, all freakin' day,
from 9 am to 7 pm EST, capped off by something called Ghost Hunters
Live Halloween for the following *five* hours! Who in the name of
Jehosaphat is programming this network? and why in god's name is Ghost
Hunters aired so much? There are hours and hours of that crappy show
throughout the week. What is the deal?!

Yeah I gave Ghost Hunters about five minutes a few months back, and 
laughed/groaned my way to another channel. I'm enjoying SGU, though it still 
doesn't have a overall story direction yet. I'm going with the development of 
the story and characters. I also like Sanctuary, though it's definitely more 
B-grade scifi. I guess I still like my Friday night scifi fix! :)
