Dark Shadows didn't fit in, but wrestling does?

That makes me want to hurt someone. Oh Scifi channel? Remember when you aired good shows? Like MST3K (even though you did make them add a plot element to the host segments, as WTF do you need that for as that was).

ECW is creative at the very least, though nowhere near "science fiction." When I think of the channel "SciFi," I don't think of creative, imaginative things, I think of SCIENCE FICTION/HORROR.

I have no clue what the heck was going through their minds when they picked that up for the summer.

Ah, well. Even if DS did come on the air on some channel again, I'd still collect the DVD's just to watch episodes at my leisure. :)

And yet they cancel Passions from its morning line up just as it starts getting good. WTH is hell wrong with Sci-fi. ECW? Wrestling? WTH is that? We must have entered the twilight zone for real or something. Screw sci-fi for screwing both the Dark Shadows and Passions fans!

Apparently some rookie in the programming department saw all those Buck Rogers episodes and concluded that science fiction = spandex. Therefore, wrestling is appropriate programming for a science fiction network.  ;D

LOL, MsC!

After spotting Law & Order: SVU on their evening schedule recently, nothing they add to their lineup surprises me.  Even with the NBC thing it was still too bizarre, and it's not like you can't get your L&O fix on another network most evenings anyway.  Unless this was a SciFi version:  "In outer space, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous..."  :P

I agree that it's goofy they have wrestling on the SciFi Channel.  I mean, using that logic, some of the fights on DS were about as ridiculously choreographed as WWF and should warrant them showing DS again.  Having said that, I feel SciFi did a LOT for DS and they don't owe us a thing.  ;)  I mean, geez, they aired if for over 10 years!   ;D

OMG, they've already canceled Passions?! Well, well. So much for their belief that it was "a perfect fit" for the channel.  ::)

 [stfl]  But, sadly, that doesn't sound too far off from some of the thinking that's going on over there these days.  [sad3]

From what I've seen, it has "mysteriously disappeared" from the channel. There hasn't been anything official saying that it was cancelled yet.

I had SUCH high hopes for that channel when it began.  I kept my fingers crossed that they would also branch out to old sci-fi flicks and maybe even old horror films.  But no such luck.

Instead they seem to be chasing an audience that doesn't want them.

The only thing I've watched on the scifi channel in recent years is the new Battlestar Galactica. They've never really had anything on that made me turn on the television otherwise.

I'm with you on this!  I only watched DS and Scare Tactics.  Everything else didn't interest me one iota.

Wouldn't that be nice? I had a mini Hammer Horror movie marathon with my folks last night, and was thinking if there was a channel that showed this stuff all the time I'd never turn it off.
