WTF SYFY!

[jennickels]

I am so fed up with this station.  A couple years ago I fell upon it and started watching episodes of Enterprise that I missed when it first aired.  Then I got hooked on SGA and SG-1 since they came on right after.  That is when Sci-fi (as it was back then) actually aired them as per the schedule.  I stuck around because they introduced Eureka and

Yeah, this just sucks. I don't understand; isn't Eureka one of their higher-rated shows? I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this from the people who canceled Farscape, which was one of the best shows on television ever, but it's been so long since then that I let myself get sucked back in. *sigh*

I definitely am worried about my other SciFi shows, especially Haven. The fans will have to stay vigilant this year like we were last year, when we flooded the network with emails, postcards and a petition demanding a second season.

Yup, I'm from the UK, and I see more Sci fi programming on Sky 1/2, - Star Trek (DS7, Enterprise, Voyager, TNG), SG1, Atlantis and SGU, Universal and Watch (Sanctuary) rather than on the syfy channel where its supposed to be. If you don't have nich programmes on the channel then why have the channel in the first place? Why have a mandate to show these types of programmes and cancel every sci fi programme going?!
