Re: SyFy channel sucks now
I agree...the programming fell off a cliff. Similar to The Weather Channel.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20141619


They were both bought out and refitted for the retard masses. You can't see any good scifi movies or a decent weather forcast due to the never ending garbage they now show.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20073385



When SyFy produced a consistent batch of zero star movies is when I bailed as a viewer...and what's with all-star wrestling on a science fiction channel?

Re: SyFy channel sucks now
I enjoy Fact or Faked and Destination Truth. I haven't watched SyFy other than that for probably over a year or more. No wait, is that game show that's in the dark on SyFy channel? I've watched that once or twice as well.

The Devil's Advocate on SyFy. What exactly does that movie have anything to do with science fiction? Absolutely nothing. SyFy really sucks now.

Re: SyFy channel sucks now
If anyone on this board has connections to NBC I just want to say that you guys at SyFy have a bevy of loyal viewers that are ready to come back to your channel. In order for that to happen, the channel needs return to its roots and put in some quality science fiction programming. By sci-fi programming I do not mean countless reruns of Stargate SG1 either. That's what made people stop watching in the first place. Put in some X-Files, Twilight Zone (original series), movies like Total Recall, and mini-series like Lost Room. Then you'll be on your way.

I agree, what the fuck does WWE have to do with science fiction? SyFy is a piece of shit now thanks to all the low budget crap movies and retarded shows. They could have developed stuff like Lost Room and instead developed Lost Girl. WTF? I used to love watching SyFy late at night on Halloween until they started with all that live Ghost Hunters crap.

SyFy, if you are listening, your channel needs an overhaul. Are you listening? Of course not.

No, this is GLP, so pretty unlikely they are listening.

However they have a feedback email address -

And the series that were worth watching, for instance "Firefly", get pissed away because of politics and the all mighty 'ratings' game.

Yep, SciFi went straight to hell the day those to half-wit plumbers started huntin' ghosts. Wasn't that theme of Mario Bros?

LOL on the ghost hunting plumbers. I do think that is what the Mario Brothers did; however, the Mario Brothers were a hell of a lot more entertaining than the two half-wits at Ghost Hunters. What a great combination, ghost hunting and plumbing. About the only thing that those two are good at is unclogging shitters.

Re: SyFy channel sucks now
They made a great horror flick once a long time ago way back in the days of the dinosaurs called The Dog Soldiers. That was a great movie, but now, their movies are just shit,so I stopped watching anything on SYFY a long long time ago. IF they get back to their originality they might be able to save the channel, but not like it is now.

SYFY has lost it's originality and their creativity. They just don't make great movies anymore with the fake BS and all the CGI crap they put into making their shitty movies. It's not worth watching.

And yes, if you work at SYFY, or NBC yes, I'm one of the public and I endorse this message.

Re: SyFy channel sucks now
I used to love the History Channel until it became redneck central. Now, finding a show that actually has some historical basis to it is very difficult. Pawn Stars? Really? Ice Road Truckers was cool the first time around but do I really want to watch all those douchebags driving up and down some mountain in South America as part of a different reality show? Now H2, formerly History International, has the historical shows while History Channel has nothing but reality crap. Then again, History networks is also run by NBC. Surprise, surprise. It seems like NBC networks are all shitty. Fire everybody and start over.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19168269


NBC = GE , General Electric

GE = Department of Defense major military contractor

GE, the nation's largest corporation, has had years where they paid ZERO in taxes despite earning billions:

[link to www.washingtonpost.com]

Some say GE is part of the shadow governnment

Their ownership of NBC is anything but hands off

[link to www.herinst.org]

So what is their social agenda? One can only guess, but it doesn't seem to include a more enlightened, educated and critically thinking public

JMHO of course, and I too miss the old History Channel and SciFi channel where occasionally the most surprising and interesting documentaries appeared...gave up on both quite a few years back, as well as most TV, but I do remember they were once good

The channel was awesome then, it sucks now. All they show is all that Ice Road Truckers, Pawn Stars and other such crap. Maybe History Channel should follow the SyFy channel's recipe and make shows like Ice Road Pawn, Life After Ice Road Trucking, Ice Road Apocalypse, Ice Road Presidents, Brad Meltzer's Ice Road Decoded, 101 Gadgets That Changed Ice Road Trucking, and the sure to be everyone's favorite, Ice Road Vietnam. Ah, hell, they should just change the name of the channel to Ice Road History.

Re: SyFy channel sucks now
I got to weigh in on this one as well. SyFy sucks so much ass it's almost unbelievable!!!

The last idiotic/retarded movie I saw was, "Rage of the Yeti," "Yeti Rampage," "Bid bad Yeti", or some bullshit combination of the above, I forget.

Anyway, while watching said Yeti movie one night with my six year old daughter (who loved it by the way) asked me: "Dad, do you think there will be any baby Yetis in this movie?" I said, "I don't know probably not" Low and behold, the next scene involved a den of baby yetis that needed to be rescued, blown up, or captured for 'scientific research'. I can't remember which.

The point is, my daughter could be writing the scripts that pass for movies on this sorry excuse of a network! At the very least they could rerun the x-files.

Cripes man!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else noticed that since they changed the channel from SciFi to SyFy that the programming has gone to shit? I mean how many times are they going to show The Fifth Element this week? Every time I check the listings that stupid movie is on. What the fuck does pro-wrestling have to do with science fiction and why is the wwe on that channel? More stupid decisions by stupid people in charge of programming. Back in the day when they actually had sci-fi stuff on, it was a pretty cool channel to watch. Now all they have are reruns of their own crappy shows. I'm sick of Ghost Hunters, Eureka, Lost Girl, WWE, etc. on all the time at all hours. I can't imagine that SyFy can stay in business too much longer with their current programming.

Re: SyFy channel sucks now
SyFy original series are more soap opera than sci-fi, in my opinion. The SyFy brass apparently are going for a female demographic, likely to up advertising revenue. Chicks buy stuff. Guys don't.

Anyway, kill your TV.
