Have you seen the buzz going around about syfy being polish for a venereal disease? Maybe someone at NBC/Universal should have Googled the phrase...
I loved scifi when they first came out, because they actually aired some good scifi reruns and movies. Then they got Stargate SG-1 from Showtime (the Fox Network of pay TV) I thought these guys had it going on. Since then Eureka is the only interesting thing to come out of them, and we don't miss it a bit since we booted cable months ago.
I asked one of the dudes from SciFi at a convention a couple years ago why they don't show old scifi movies that would be of interest to scifi fans. His response - the ratings on the movies were much lower than the cheapo less than DVD release quality new films they buy from foreign filmakers. That is why you see Mansquito instead of Forbidden Planet. GO figure.
