Remember, the awful flicks like 'Bloodmonkey' of today are tomorrow's MST3Ks.

Networks are already putting their fall schedules out.

New Amsterdam is gone.
Moonlight goes dim.
Bionic Woman is also gone.

Eli Stone is back, probably mid-season.

Life on Mars is a new addition. It is about a policeman mentally transported back to the 70s. It is the Americanized version of the British drama of the same name, and its successor, Ashes to Ashes.

The Mentalist is a new addition, which is sort of similar to this genre.

Heroes is scheduled to return.
Sarah Connor Chronicles is also returning (fall only).

Supernatural gets another season.
The Reaper also had a last-minute reprieve and is supposed to be back mid-season.

Jericho is being shopped to some of the cable channels. SciFi showed some interest, but no commitment (last I read). They were thinking about something like the DirectTV/NBC deal for Friday Night Lights, where the satellite co pays part of the production and gets ‘first broadcast’ rights.

SciFi has 2 news series coming. One is Caprica, which is some 50 years before the Cylon war.

Looked to me from 2 weeks ago that BSG is heading in a more strongly religious direction. From that ‘Last Supper’ picture they’ve been featuring that is inevitable, for good or bad.

Given that the only SciFi action at this time of year is on Friday nights, don't you think it would more appropriate to wait until Friday, May 30 to start this thread?

PS: Does Burn Notice count as SciFi?

Dr Who: I HATE DONNA!!! WILL THOSE SPACE SPUDS SHOOT HER!!!!

I didn't like Donna at first- she seemed like kind of a pathetic figure, pining for something she couldn't have instead of just living her life.

But after a few episodes, she's grown on me- now my impression is of a strong, smart woman who knew what she wanted and made it happen through patience and determination. She's definitely the first in the new series to be mature enough to confound The Doctor.

Finally.
A list I can ignore altogether.

Waiting for the SciFi channel to be rescusitated...

Thanks KD. I missed SJA yesterday but I'll be able to pick it up on Youtube.

I'm with you,I hate Donna too! The first day I thought I wouldn't like Martha but now I truly appreciate her moxie.

Did anybody catch 'The Andromeda Strain' two-parter on A&E on Monday and Tuesday night? I dunno. Maybe it's just me. They were awfully faithful to the original source material, yet threw enough twists in it to set it apart somewhat, but the original '71 version just had more of a sense of urgency and suspense to me, even after having seen it a dozen times. The A&E version had this tempo and vibe that made me feel like I was watching one of those generic cable cop dramas the the wife drives me nuts with. LOL

******************SPOILER ALERT FOR BSG*****************

Roll your cursor over the message

Tonight's BSG sucked. Lee Adama as President? Tigh knocks up the Cylon? Adama quits to go find his woman?

BARF.
