SCI FI Channel is now DIE FI Channel.

Is it just me or does SCI FI Channel no longer have science fiction shows? Ever since they changed names yesterday to "ScyFy" or something like that, they stopped playing science fiction shows. First they can all the Star Treks from their network (which is weird, since Star Trek is like the founding father of science fiction. Plus who could forget the recent cancellation of Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, and other science fiction television programs. They also are adding more shows that have nothing to do with science fiction (Ghost Hunters, Scare Tactics, Fake Wrestling, Land of the Lost, Destination Truth, Chase, Estate of Panic, Anime Monday, Ghost Hunters 2: Because the First One Wasn't Bad Enough [aka: Ghost Hunters International], Mind Control with Derren Brown, WCG Ultimate Gamer, Who Wants to be a Super Hero, and various other non-scifi shows). Plus, they are beginning to play more of their God awful "SCI FI Channel original movies", which make me want to shoot my TV (because they are so unbearably bad). Also, they changed their name to "ScyFy" or something like that, which isn't SCI FI (so it isn't "science fiction"). They also played National Treasure last night (and James Bond a lot), I mean what the hell, that movie wasn't even science fiction (but atleast they aren't SCI FI Channel original movies [i.e. giant octopus or dinosaur, or anything else that is a SCI FI Channel original movie, even though their "original movies" aren't even in the science fiction genre, and even fi they were, they would still suck]). Oh, and I just have to make a comment about their new slogan, "Believe in something better.", well, believe me, I can believe in something better, like watching paint dry, or gouging out my own eyes with a sharp stick. So remember, SCI FI Channel is now DIE FI Channel, that is all.

Star Trek just made science fiction mainstream, it didn't start it.

Well, most of them are fiction at least. Deal.

It's a good thing your dad threw away your TV. Maybe this shooting business is the "family problems" he was thinking about?

I have another TV.

Whoah as a close and dear friend of Mr Derren Brown i feel the need to jump on in and defend his show. The reason it is on sci fi is because it is deemed paranormal....that is how he is deemed over here in the UK, everyone describes his abilities as paranormal because no one else can do it. Ghost Hunters is sci fi because it is also paranormal and as a worker in that field we often deal with sci fi subjects so we do have a place within that channel.

You're a friend of his then? Tell him to invest in a cameraman that doesn't have Parkinson's Disease. I'm sick of the cameramen waving the cam around like a sack of potatoes. That's what I look through from my TV ya know? Also, please inform them that screaming bloody murder and then pointing the camera at an empty doorway is getting old.

Just a bit of humor!

His show isn't science fiction however. SCI FI Channel is no longer a science fiction network.

The term science fiction has expanded over the many years so now his show does fall into those realms.

Nite mate i passed your message on ha ha ha ha. Derren found it highly amusing and said that he will look into a decent camerman from now on....his early shows had a bad run with it but he's learning lol.

Nice. I still love watching those shows so much though. Very interesting. After college I'm probably going to get some money and start doing some investigating on my own. I'll either focus on ghosts, cryptids, or ufology. Or all 3!!!
