It just reminds me of Syphilis

SciFi Channel becomes Stupid

Basically, SciFi is now SyFy... WTF?!?! Who are the numbnuts in charge there? They still want people to pronounce it SciFi, but now it just makes me think of a VD. Seriously... If you want people to pronounce it correctly, try something more grammatically correct... maybe CyFi? Of course that's just as inane.

Also, memo to the morons at the top... You don't have a brand, you only have a collection of genre-centric crap. All weekend are crappy B-rated movies (at best) and you continuously kill your popular shows rather than ride them threw the weaker times to create a better product for re-runs, which is 95% of your lineup anyway.

You tried to kill B5, you did kill it's sequal, Crusade. You've killed SG: Atlantis. Sanctuary might actually be good, but instead you're showing reruns of crappy 2 season series instead of reruns of Sancuatry to build a fanbase. I'm almost hoping you sell Eureka! so a channel with a brain can keep it from dying.

Now you're hyping Warehouse 13, which looks like the sci-fi version of The Librarian, which, note to you, sucked. You're also not very original, instead importing half your 'original' lineup from England (Dr. Who, though it seems gone, Primeval, and that Dr. Who spin off whatever it was).

Oh well... I'll DVR Eureka and Santcuary until you kill those off too with your inept management.

P.S. Ghost Hunters lost me after about 10 seconds. If I wanted to watch original Ghostbusters props being used in the original Blair Witch movie... well actually... I never would want to watch it.

Agreed

The font they chose for the new logo is really annoying too. Not that a better font would have changed the stupidity of the idea.

Hey Now

You can't copyright/tradmark/whatever SciFi, you can SyFy.

If SyFy can produce a good show, they deserve to use a brand that they can protect.

Enjoyed the episodes of Warehouse I watched before moving and giving up cable.

I share your sadness for all things StarGate. Currently running through B5 for the first time, and I am really enjoying it.

At least they didn't completely change the name of the station.

B5

B5 is a good series, except for the first season. The first season is a bit rough due to acting by the lead person. Things get better the second season.

Yup

Hmmm

Maybe I was channeling that comic 4 months later.
