I'm sorry, but I can't stand it.
The Sci-Fi Channel is changing their name to SyFy.
So, I wrote Sci-Fi channel in regards to their name change...
==============================================================
Hy! Longtyme vyewer, fyrst tyme complayner.
I remember pinning a flyer, of an alien watching TV with a dog, to my wall almost 19 years ago, anxious, eager and psyched about the promise and prospect of the very idea of a network dedicated to Science Fiction. I realize that across almost every bit of the basic cable landscape, stations have sacrificed their specialized uniquity in effort to broaden their audience. For some time now, it has been clear to fans, that Sci-Fi wants to become just another TNT, USA, G4, SPIKE, MTV, TBS, etc. We understand that programming like Galactica is much more expensive than Soth Park and The Daily Show to produce, hence why Comedy Central is one of the few stalwart specialty stations left.
Good luck becoming generic, but, this isn't false posturing of we'll stop watching the network, but this is the truth...
As you become generic, and programming becomes more and more on-demand, I won't need, or want SyFy. I'll have Netflix.
Thank you, and thank you for have been a wonderful network.
You're already missed.
===========================================================================
I had more to say, but it's much better said, when their own NEWS SITE runs this:
Forrest J. Ackerman has a message for you from beyond the grave
Ouch, and that kick to the groin was from YOURSELF! We've NOTHING more to say.
Once again, Thanks Forry!
