I’m getting sick of SyFy. I liked them when they were a true Sci-Fi channel and not a fake witch, ghost hunting, WWF show. Every good show they have they wind up killing. Caprica, Helix, and I could go on and on. I want my Caprica and Helix back!

Seems SyFy has really no SyFy to speak of, except Haven (not really syfy) and Warehouse 13 (kinda of a remake of Friday the 13th, with cursed artifacts), the rest is ghosts (haven’t seen an episode yet were you actually SEE one), and wrestling, America’s lowest common denominator for TV viewing….MK is right bring back Eureka and Caprica…

I hope this remains. They apparently don’t pay attention to what smart people (with money) say, they only listen to people who sit home and watch t v instead of working apparently. I H.A.T.E. so-called “reality” shows. Give me Haven any day!!!!!!!!

12 comments before mine and NO ONE mentioned the basket they are putting their eggs in come April…

Defiance…

Gives you an idea how much people think of SyFy and what they have done for the genre. I will give it a watch, but will not support it if there is no promise.

Some of the things that SyFy have launched or brought have been laughable, and horrible… Who remembers the horror that was Painkiller Jane, or Flash Gordon?

Dont blame syfy for the lack of quality scripted shows, blame the stupid prople that overun our soceity and watch stuff like that. Because they dont put up shows based on what you like, they order new shows based in viewership and ratings, and lets be honest, “reality” tv gets a lot more viewership than most scripted shows these days. Maybe of more people actually took the time to watch the quality scripted shows we wouldnt have this problem.

This channel basically sucks. They are no longer anything close to a SCI FI channel than I am to a french sous chef. No more Star Trek of any variety, Babylon 5 or even the X-Files. They now show “Ghost Hunter” crap I await the day when some one actually brings this channel back. But, I am not holding my breath. I get more SCI FI from either the hub with sliders or BBC with Doctor Who.

Why is everything premised as a “life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation.” Didn’t this also describe the quickly demised ‘Zero Hour’. Whenever I see these hyperbola, I think this show must be a dud.
But since it is a syfy series, it’ll likely have an evil wrestler ghost as well.

Hooray! A break from people jumping in dark rooms, robots and wrestling! Give WH 13 and Haven more than 13 eps a year. I am sick of 13 episode seasons. Bring back Alphas and Eureka and Caprica.

Ditto. Except that it wasn’t coffee. It was just my own spit.
