True and an absolute bummer. Like there aren't excellent and classic SF movies, etc. to screen. I'm with you, I.R. 

This is the kind of thing that happens when you put people in charge who dont know anything about scifi,science,physics etc...

they dont even usually watch tv...they dont care for scifi if they do watch tv and if they do like scifi,they like it to to be simple,more western like...please dont expect them to THINK.Give them tits and rayguns!(disclaimer...I too like tits and rayguns but not to the exclusion of depth of story,scientific accuracy etc...)

Too much scifi has given in to some non scifi execs idea of what viewers wanted...stunt casting,gimmicky concepts and so on.

Some viewers that admitted to watching both wrestling and scifi tried to defend their intelligence to the scifi only detractors.

Saying that just because they liked wrestling didnt automatically mean they were mullet wearing retards.

I say...If you like wrestling for any other reasons than watching sweaty men in tights or watching makes you feel metally and culturally superior for the few moments before you switch channels...then,YES,you are a retard.

and i say thats the most uninformed and uneducated remark i have every heard come from you I.R, You stereotype people for watching something you yourself may not like, well thats your choice, i don't like the wrestling either but just because someone else does , i don't stand in inbecilic judgement of them. The same stereotype could be applied to any watcher of Science fiction, (geek, nerd, trekkie etc etc). Get off your high horse about a subject thats not even worth mentioning and come back to the real world please. Yes thats a world where we don't care what people wan't to watch on TV and we certainly do NOT judge them because of it.

I disagree...I have said way more stupid stuff than that.

In my book(page eleventyseven)...liking wrestling qualifies you as a tard.I refuse to be PC about a subject as culturally important and black and white as wrestling on the scifi channel.

Of course,I agree...whats good for geese and so on...I embrace my inner,outer nerd and so cannot be insulted in any way by the tardly. [e digicons](\(\[/e]

I'm kidding with you Nimbin...you can never take what I say TOO seriously...

NEVER!...I regret I have but 1 life to give for my scifi!

Its a sign of the APOCALYPSE...you know,the whole dogs and cats in unnnatural relationships,the govt involving itself in bailouts,Alyson Hannigan got pregnant and I was NOT the father.

The worst thing about that is you pay twice...money for the privelege of watching even more commercials.

1967...an episode of Star Trek was 50-51 minutes long...now what is it?A typical episode on tv is what,about 44-46 minutes? Less maybe?

whose horse is high there? hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

whatever pays the bills.

been on there as long as I can remember.

Yep, And don't forget...the money for the commercials raises the price of the "goods" or, in this case the "not so goods".

At one time not all of them did...only channels that already ran commercials because they were city locals or network affiliates...true cable channels didnt have commercials(or at least a lot didnt).

But they figured if some could and get away with it(and you would still pay)why not us too.MO MONEY!

I choose to say no...I dont even leave the tv on the same channel during commercials...I flip over to pbs or something during the breaks.(sometimes I forget what I was watching...must not have been very interesting haha)

You could ask why do you watch at all if you dont like the way they do things...well I need my downtime because of poor health,tv massages my brain so I can stop thinking for a bit.

When I can afford it I sign up for Blockbuster or Netflix and order tv shows on dvd...for about 1.50$ you get 5 episodes,no commercials and it hasnt been shortened to fit around extra commercials.And you can watch them in order,in much less time than on tv and as many episodes back to back as you like...a nice plus.
