    Glad to see another channel succumbing to the lowest common denominator: ignorant unalphabetic high-school drop-out demographic. I bet they're trying to catch up to MTV and G4 for quality programming.

    "Imagine Greater"?


    So like "Come up with better programming than Ghost Hunters and shitty monster movies"?


    *sigh*


    Looks like yet another channel is taking the G4/Spike route and ditching their format to become yet another generic network.

    Syfy is plural for 'syphilis' in Polish. Moreover when we say that something is 'syf' in Polish it's usually in the same context that you use 'shit' in English. For example: "This TV channel is total syf."


    Might be like that in Russian and other slavic languages.


    I'm not sure this is the best name change idea.

    Oh wait, Sci Fi actually DID change the spelling? I thought that was a joke. What's the deal with that? The phrase "Get the Fuck Out" comes to mind.

    The hell is wrong with Sci-Fi.


    They play Sci-Fi movies, they show Sci-Fi series.


    Sci-Fi>SyFy

    SyFy... lis


    Woo!


    I miss a lot of the great shows they used to have. If they want to get better ratings maybe they should look at some of the crap they have on. Ghosthunters? Its the same crap every week.


    Example: Nothing happening... is that a ghost? Nope just the wind ... nothing happening ... Episode over.

    @DravenX23:


    I'd also like to add in they need to add more original programming. Dollhouse should be a Sci Fi Fridays show. Legend of the Seeker should be a Sci Fi show.


    Also for old TV shows they should have Buffy, Angel, Charmed, Supernatural, Futurama, ST:Voyager, Heroes and Smallville.


    They just need to spend more time on interesting ideas and less on Made for Sci Fi movies. Don't get me wrong I enjoy 1 out of ever 10 of them. Its just the other 9 suuuuuuuuuck.

    Those movies are so horrible. I mean...really...really...horrible.


    I remember when they used to have all kinds of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy movies. Classics. One's I had HEARD OF.

    @SirFenwick: Have you been following this story at all? The name change is because they're completely ditching the actual sci-fi elements that the network was BUILT on.


    It'd be like if Kotaku changed it's name to "Ko-Taco". Sure the name change wouldn't be a big deal...but I bet you'd be pretty upset when you found it was because they decided to start covering mexican cuisine instead of games.

    SyFy? What kind of retarded name is that? Can you guys please think outside of the freaking BOX? That's what your whole network is supposed to be about.

    It honestly cuts my television viewing down about 25%. I'm pre-weeping over this fridays last episode(s).
