Awesome! Now we can FINALLY get….

“Destination Nowhere: Searching for Ghosts and Legendary Items Amid Haunted and Cursed Hollywood Treasures!”

Lol. That’s awesome and disturbingly similar to the very kind of comment I might have made myself. I’m constantly griping about Ghost Hunters in particular because it’s been around longest and had two spinoffs. Why is this show so popular? It’s been airing for years and they’ve never had an episode with any worthwhile footage. What I’d love to see is for them to finally find something only for it to really go as horribly wrong for everyone including producers (and the Siffee senior programming staff who happen to be on set visiting that fateful day) ending with everyone dead of gruesome and mysterious causes much like one of the low budget SyFy creature movies.

I must admit, while I hate reality shows, I’ve found Hollywood Treasures interesting and educational. Not near the level of redeeming value I’d like to see from it, but it’s even relevant to Science Fiction since so much of the featured memorabilia is SciFi. That, and I find Tracey McCall disturbingly hot.

These days FearNet channel is more sci-fi than SyFy.

Had the classic 80s movie “Heavy Metal” on the other day, haven’t seen that one in yrs. B)

I have that on VHS… somewhere… it’s probably in a box… in my storage unit… and none of my VCR’s work anymore… FEH!!

This proves devolution. People are getting dumber.

I’ve been observing that with dread for decades. I can still remember the horror I felt at the reinforcement of precedent with the release of “Dumb and Dumber”.

What a bummer. Salli Richardson has been in great shape. I would love to see more of that.

Ditto. Though less business suit and more swim suit! lol I would also like to see more Erica Cerra. Her face never fails to awe me with how beautiful she is.

SyFy should be my favorite channel, but lately they have been doing nothing but wrestling and low budget horror movies.

As far as I’m concerned it’s been mostly downhill since they canned Farscape. Stargate being an obvious exception.

The wrestling in particular irked me. Talk about alienating your core audiences in both directions. SciFi people don’t want the wrestling, and the wrestling fans were probably sickened by having to tune in to SciFi/SyFy. Of course the silver lining was the ladies contest which introduced Brittney Beede and Celeste Bonin.

While the low budget movies stink, I actually have found a use for them. They make perfect background noise while I am cleaning, doing laundry, or cooking.

I might add, the same sort of devolution has overtaken my once fav channel The History Channel.

Fortunately, there is the alt of History International Channel, or as they’ve recently renamed it – H2.

I would love wrestling if its Japanese women’s wrestling or some real fit women, but that will never happen on SyFy. WWE is pretty fake.
And yes I like Erica Cerra, wish she would start working out to better fit her role as tough sheriff.

I was not saying that the hot fit and muscular women justified airing wrestling on SyFy. That is a content mismatch for the network. NBC Universal could have signed to air wrestling on one of their other networks like USA Network. When viewers tune in to targeted networks, they should be presented with appropriate programming. Wrestling is no more appropriate for SyFy than for Food Network. Point being, SyFy has their heads up their asses when it comes to programming decisions.

And yes I like Erica Cerra, wish she would start working out to better fit her role as tough sheriff.

Unfortunately since the final episodes are probably already in the can, it’s a moot point. I understand that you are talking about upping her fitness level to noticeable muscle, but she clearly already works out and is fit. Her face shows that. She is very lean, but not emaciated. It is a healthy leanness. It is part of what I find so appealing about her face.

I bet she works out a lot, but yes I would like to see her add a few pounds of muscle!
maybe I start my own channel featuring scifi with muscular women!

Seems as if these days the better sci-fi series are to be found elsewhere, such Fringe or the upcoming Terra Nova on FOX or Falling Skies on TNT.

Not the first time this has happen in recent yrs, back awhile you had The 4400 and The Dead Zone on USA.

Personally I’ve not gotten into any of those shows. I watch Falling Skies online because I’ve become a Seychelle Gabriel whore. I still miss John Doe from Fox, and I’m sadly at a loss for any other shows to list as examples.

SciFi had a fair start but has squandered the brand and continually alienates it’s fans.

Hmmm… while not scifi, “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS is actually my favorite show on TV. Chuck Lorre seems to be familiar with Pychological Typing such as the MBTI. He seems to specifically create characters that are very clear fits to various types. In Dharma & Greg, Greg was an ISTJ and Dharma was an ENFP. Now in Big Bang Theory as near as I can tell, Sheldon is an INTJ and Leonard is an INTP.

I’ve never seen a sitcom that was so centric to the personal quirkiness of NT’s before… and apparently the show is a raging success including with people I know personally and have been surprised in learning they too liked the show. It’s hilarious to me that it’s such a hit because it essentially is about and caters directly to NT’s who are statistically the smallest temperament population and easily the most socially inept, outcast, and ridiculed.

Talk about winning one for the underdogs.

I don’t like the new shows they picked up like Warehouse 13, Sanctuary. Wish they had kept Farscape, renewed Eureka. Also there was this show call Legend of Seeker that got cancelled; they could had pick that up.

[phenoms]

I like Warehouse 13. It’s sort of a different spin off the older Friday the 13th series of artifacts with powers and missions to collect them. I never got into that show, but I like the Warehouse 13 dynamic better. That, and I’ve been enthralled with Joanne Kelly ever since she played Bianca on The Dresden Files. And then they introduced Allison Scagliotti as Claudia. All I can say is shwiing. She just does it for me.

Sanctuary I could do without but watch anyway when it is on. They’ve stretched that show out with fewer episodes per season than any I can ever think of and then space the seasons so far apart that it crawls back just about the time I’ve decided it must’ve been quietly cancelled.

I did not think of it earlier, but SciFi does deserve credit for the reboot of Battlestar Gallactica.

On a seperate note, I miss Space: Above and Beyond. All this scifi talk has me starting to think of older shows long since gone. Mmmmmmm, Kristen Cloke.

IMHO W13 was probably semi-inspired by an earlier Sci-Fi mini-series The Lost Room with its empowered objects and the various factions seeking to collect them all, each for their own ends.

Space: A&B, I recall that one, it was on FOX back early 90s.

One from the 70s, which had alot of potential, but was too ahead of it time for the audience of that era was The Fantastic Journey, which if rebooted would do very well today. Even had an amazonian character called Liana as played by Katie Saylor.
