syfy channel

[slipstream 1985]

this is the worst channel ever. terrible cheap dissaster films and wierd giant komoda vs cobra films.

[telecat]

Got to be the UK version. Warehouse 13 is certainly one of the US's better series. I hear it's also to tie in with Eureka.

Possibly the worst channel, although the horror channel would be worst if it didn't have a redeeming feature, Boobies!

Syfy in the UK showed Warehouse 13 last year IIRC.

UK SyFy loses its best shows to Sky One is part of the problem. In the US SyFy had Stargate, BSG and so on making it a far higher quality channel.

Even more embarassing is that ITV4 (4!) gets Sanctuary and Dollhouse ahead of SyFy.

Nevertheless SyFy had Firefly which was a good thing and Warehouse 13 which was mildly entertaining.

That sounds like my kind of channel - is it coming to Freeview soon!?

you'll be reaching for the oxycontin before you know it....pants mCpants at the worlds pants championships

Syfy had IIRC

V - I stopped watching that.
Painkiller Jane WTF is that? Does anyone watch it?
Then something which had the drippy tt from the BT adverts in it, can't remember the name but it looked pants.

Oh and Buffy repeats fired in a scatter gun manner and in no particular order.

Ignoring the content for a minute, isn't "SyFy" the stupidy, stupidest name ever? WTF was wrong with "Sci-Fi"?

[FourWheelDrift]

Most likely

Sci-Fi - too geeky
SyFy - hip & cool

It's what happens when you let marketing run the company.

They are rebranding the channel and want to make it more general - i.e. not just sci-fi and fantasy programming but conventional dramas too.

I'm not impressed with the name, either, but there you go.

[vdubbin]

There's the odd gem on there as well, but most of the time all I seem to find is the same episode of the new Knight Rider.

It also results in 2WD Range Rovers called "Evoque" and FWD BMWs.

you all probably missed the soon to be classic "Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus" which they showed this weekend!

Might be worth a re-try if that is the case. But Eureka is much better than Warehouse13

My mate was on about this the other day. A terrible film, but i had to youtube the 'shark attacking a plane scene' just to witness for myself the poor excuse of cgi.

And its back in the next few days. The teaser trailers are ... mildly entertaining.

I saw that a few nights ago, it's so bad that I had to watch it to the end

[becksW]

The films certainly aren't great but they show some good series

Dollhouse was shown on SyFy first then repeated on ITV4.
