The History channel is one of the few channels that haven't resorted to wrestling and reality shows. It does quality shows and sticks to the subject. It does have over 3000 years to cover and that helps a bit.
Right now I'm watching an episode of "The Revolution" dealing the Benedict Arnold (the rat! selling out West Point to the Brits!-sorry if I've offended any British Browncoats). History Channel makes history dramatic and fun.
Also, FX has a few good dependable series and stuck to them and let them grow an audience, Rescue Me, Prison Break, Nip Tuck (too gross for me). Isn't Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary)from Rescue Me more than a bit like Mal except Tommy still hasn't grown up a bit.
Sorry about the thread hijack. Very disjointed post as it's the night before the first day of school-got to get dear daughter ready for her senior year of high school
Yet they DO show hours and hours of shows like Mega Movers and Modern Marvels about how they move large objects like oil rigs, which I haven't quite figured out what that has to do with history.

Yeah and now this Monday they're actually running RAW?! Dood! Pass me a bud and lets go watch wrestling on...SCI-FI?!?! *Pah* :D
Sorry, I guess it's been hashed out already, but I saw that and I had to respond before I could even read on. There are some very great responses waaay above mine that have a bit more tact and kooth to them. :D

I wouldn't know if the sci-fi channel is losing it's way cause I can't watch it(I'm from England) & I can't get the UK version either.But I've been to Amercia twice in the last 3 years & whenever I was watching TV it was mostly the Sci-fi channel & HBO.I actually saw the last minute of Heart of Gold on Sci-fi when I was in the US last year & this was when I had just seen Serenity in the cinema the previous day(in America).Sci-fi channel in my experience is the best channel I've ever watched.

I had read earlier that SciFi was changing to SurgeTV on Nov. 1, and expanding their wrestling shows from 1 night to several.
Thankfully, this appears to be a hoax.
From what I understand about SG-1, the majority of the profits of the series go to MGM, not SciFi, so SciFi decided to cancel it...pretty tacky to do so around the presentation of their 200th ep.

I kinda of understand the cancelation of SG-1 the ratings slipped from what I understand when Richard Dean Anderson left. Eureka has been a blessing and right before that Dead like me. I know it aired some where else but I had never seen it.
It would be a great idea for Sci-Fi to pick up Firefly and get rid of this nasty childish wrestling I still can't believe it is on Sci-Fi it makes me sick.
