Syfy channel is garbage. What happened to sifi and the great stuff that was on !

I remember the good old days of the sifi channel they used to have shows like time tunnel, land of the giants, twilight zone, star trek and other great old shows. I cant stand the shows they have on their now it is just terrible. I did find a channel that plays some of those sifi shows on Saturday night the channel is KMEV I think channel 20 on directv.

I just want to know why the heck did they change to syfy and mess everything up ?

What were some of your favorite old Sifi channel shows ?

Mystery Science Theater 3000 >

I stopped watching that channel when they pulled the plug on that gem.

Actually I like many of the newer series a lot better than the movies they have been showing the last few years. They haven't been good enough to even qualify as "B-movies" unfortunately!

Yeah, I remember when Star Trek TNG was on Sci-Fi too.
Now that it's SyFy it sucks

I agree, just by the titles and description of the new movies they just sound like bad B movies or even F lol.

Yeah there is some MST3k on Netflix, and a whole bunch of Star Trek.
If you guys liked MST3K you should check out RiffTrax.

when did syfy air "great stuff"?

it's a giant b-movie mixed with GLP

Money is what happened. A good sci-fi show needs talented actors and imaginative special effects, which means money.

"Reality" shows like Ghost Hunter and Face Off cost next to nothing to produce.

WTH, I only posted 1 time....WTH?????

...

Their original programming is dismal, Face-Off isn't too bad, and I like Paranormal Witness, but they should be airing all the classic old shows like:

• UFO
  
• X Files
  
• The Prisoner
  
• All Star Trek
  
• Both BSG series
  
• Firefly
  
• In Search Of
  
• The Starlost
  
• Space: Above & Beyond
  
• Lost In Space
  

Just for examples, in addition to more science fiction movies than just Star Trek & James Bond.

When they changed their name from SciFi to SyFy you knew a descent even further into rubbish territory was coming, and they delivered.

ETA: And yes indeed, MST3K and Futurama.
