Remember when SyFy was still Sci-Fi?

As I observe the status of the SyFy channel today, including WWE
programming, I find myself yearning for the good old days. I remember
quite well the series of creepy, atmospheric ads from my childhood
that declared "its coming," advertising the impending launch of the
Sci-Fi Channel. As a lifelong fantasy and science fiction geek I was
more than interested, but my parents had little desire to pay the
extra money to get it. But AH!, in the mid 90's our basic cable
package got an upgrade, and we automatically got a number of new
channels, including Sci-Fi-how thrilled I was! I still remember fondly
my days in jr. high, before real world things like jobs and cars were
a factor, when I would spend my afternoons watching Dark Shadows
reruns.
Perhaps my fondest memory was the first anime-marathon they ever did
one summer when I was in high school; it was hosted by some hot,
blonde chick in a skintight outfit, and it was really my first
introduction to anime as a unique art style-I quickly became hooked.
And I especially remember the weird and creepy bumpers that they used
to run between programming; I recall one that featured a strange,
clock-like contraption with a staring eye and electric sparks coming
out of it, and another that had a clock turning into a demonic looking
monster.
Sadly, the network has just gone so far downhill for me. It really all
started when they began doing original programming and movies-don't
get me wrong, I loved the first season of Farscape and a few other
shows they came up with, but for the most part it seems they have just
gotten so utterly gratuitous about it. Anymore it feels as if they
ever show is one of a dozen different incarnations of Stargate, Ghost
Hunters, and WWE. And I will say for a fact that none was sadder than
I when they decided to officially break from the past and rename the
network SyFy-and yes, for a while I did think it was now meant to be
pronounced "siffy." Whatever happened to Night Gallery, Swamp Thing,
the original Stark Trek, and The Night Stalker? Where did my random,
out of nowhere bizarro movies go? When did science fiction become
reality TV? Oh days of my youth, where art thou!

best shows the network had. Nothing they have now compare but in its'
heyday the shows were a positive sign. I think the main problem with
SyFy is the percentage of watchable programs has greatly diminished.
Back when they were the only game in town they could get away with
slumming but now there are too many better alternatives. For whatever
reason they seem to have embraced the low quality nature of much of
their programming and now intentionally programming for the lowest
common denominator.

Darren McGavin starred as the newspaper reporter
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071003/
Chris Carter (X-Files) said that Kolchak: the night stalker was his

For its first four seasons, Babylon 5 was on broadcast channels, although
if you were watching a Chris-Craft owned station, they had all affiliated
with UPN and dropped PTEN shows (including new Babylon 5 and some reruns
of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues). PTEN had oddball calendar year seasons,
instead of September-August. So the final five episodes weren't
broadcast in those markets.
Chris-Craft was fuckin' pissed at Warner Brothers for screwing them over
with The WB, hence the UPN affiliation. They had put up actual cash for
PTEN programming and wanted it to become a fifth network.

that they have all rights to any related products. It's why they have
slowly gotten rid of most of their Celebrity Chefs because the chefs
wanted to keep the rights to the products that go out under their name
and FN wasn't having that.

Around here, there is a PBS digital affiliate that shows
lots reruns of PBS cooking shows.

In article <h56mm7ts4r5dc63c7...@4ax.com>,
I watch virtually nothing on it any more; does Iron Chef America have
products?
COOKING seems to be picking up the FOOD rejects. But I still want HOW
TO BOIL WATER and TASTE.

I think there was a contest show still that took the "worst cooks" and taught them basic stuff. It had two folks, I forget the guy but the girl had short white blond hair. I watched a little of it, but it was really close to boiling water and what to put in it basics, and then some minor stuff like finger foods.

police procedural with some little SF nonsense thrown in to make it
easy to find the bad guy and solve the murder.
I just finished reading Solow and Justman's book and they relate how
the first thinking for the premise was "wagon train in space" but they
quickly realized that was entirely wrong for what they wanted to do.
Unfortunately, Wagon Train/Police story in space is almost all we get
these days.
