I mean hardcore drugs like coke... Any network exec...

Well they spend their money on quality shows, and on weekends they show such "classic" movies such as Savage Planet (Basically a planet with killer Bears on it) and somehow think that wrestling is somehow sci-fi.....

If it wasn't for Eurka, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar I would not be watching the SCI-FI channel...

One evening we had Mexican wrestling on half a dozen cable channels, including Sci-Fi ~ plus two broadcast outlets also picked up on the cable had Mexican wrestling with costumed midgets.

I think the stupidity of TV executives is not really the issue ~ rather, it's the spread of Mexican culture to television. Somebody out there loves Mexican wrestling.

Well SCIFI has a history of moving around good shows, stop showing them completely for months at a time, and then complaining about slipping ratings when they brought them back on. They did it with farscape and then ended up putting on....scare tactics. Yeah, that's scifi, guys!

Hopefully they'll keep from messing with eureka - it's a good show so far.

If they stopped making the Crappy CGI Movie Of The Week they might be able to afford another original show or two.
