What gets my blood boiling is the Sci-Fi channel is billed as Sci-Fi...why do they constantly show horror films. If that's what they want to do...then CREATE a horror channel.
Put on episodes of the Dark Knight, Poltergeist, Nightstalker, etc...even Ghost Hunters.
Also the sci-fi channel is showing ECW...
Yes better still, why not open up a 'made in canada channel' ?
Exclusively grade D movies
However, I thought they went off their rocker with ECW, and it's not like Law & Order isn't on half
a dozen other channels any given night, any day of the week.
Spare me the The Hoff's Knight Rider. And any number of other bad shows. The B shows that know they're
"B" and treat themselves as such are far more entertaining than Ghost Hunters, and other unwatched and
forgotten shows.
Even Dr. Who is annoyingly PC.
They should probably call it the "genre channel" but most folks wouldn't get it. Sci-fi, fantasy and horror have always been connected at the hips and always will be. The line between them is very thin, just look at the original Twilight Zone (most re-dos have been pretty ignorable), primarily it's a horror show with almost every story revolving in some way around fear, but many episodes are built around sci-fi concepts (and I'm pretty sure there's a couple with fantasy elements though I can't think of any off the top of my head) that just happen to be kind of scary. It's the same reason why most "sci-fi" conventions are actually sci-fi/ fantasy/ horror conventions, and some of the more interesting discussions at those conventions involve trying to actually define the lines between the genres.
