They are eliminating SciFi, and changing it to SyFy so they can have video game shows or something?
Anyone know what the deal is?
Our wonderful B-movie channel is going away July 7th, and will be replaced by this uber-stupid SyFy!

Isn't that what G4 is for? Why the fuck do we need another channel for that?

Did you also hear that Cartoon Network is changing their name to just "Network?"

I think it might be to trick people who outright refuse to watch scifi because it is "geeky" into watching. I'm figuring if they change the name
to SyFy most of them won't be smart enough to realize it is the same thing.

SyFy could be pronounced "siffee" which could be confused for an STD channel.

For real? If so, that is a stupid idea.

G4 disappeared off our lineup with no warning whatsoever. Now where the hell am I going to watch Ninja Warrior??

We still have G4, but they always have Cops 2.0 on there.

G4 is so annoying, I only watch AOTS now. They need to get rid of Cops, Cheaters and all those other shitty shows they play now.
|
|||
Aunt Pappy |

Yeah, I know. It was only by the grace of God that I'd actually flip around and catch Ninja Warrior. It was either Cops or Cheaters (or whatever it was
called.)

Maybe you just need more channels. You only have three?

Ugh. For a while there they were trying to brand themselves as the scIFi network. Get it? IF? So stupid, but this is even worse. I used to hang around their
boards and the locals called SciFi, Skiffy. I've been pissed at them ever since they canceled Farscape, dammit. And this new SyFy name is just freaking
stupid.
I don't want wrestling, or video games shows or those dumb reality shows (except Ghost Hunters) on what is supposed to be a science fiction channel. Network execs are just dumbasses. |

They're sub-Mtv and should kill themselves. You'll never convince me that those people read books. |

ITA. I think SciFi execs haven't even read comic books. They're just trying to fill a certain demographic...not sure what demographic. Illiterate teen
agers?
