[...] SUVUDU Sharktopus. DinoCroc vs. Supergator. Chupacabra: Dark Seas. The channel formerly known as SciFi is telling you something. Are you listening? Here it is: “We don’t take this genre seriously, and neither should you.” [...]

No one saw this coming? I did. The moment the took the “SCIence” and the “FIction” out of the name of the channel.

I don’t know what (or who) “SY” is; and all I can think of from the “FY” is “FantasY”

If they wanted to keep any semblance of Science Fiction, the channel would be SciFy – to combine the Science and the Fantasy.

And I know that wrestling is all Fiction… but on this channel? Give me a break.

I have been thinking the very same thing lately.

Sy Fy Channel continues downward spiral into madness. Or is it just mediocrity?

A new facebook group has been started to get a community effort together to bring back decent programming to our once beloved SciFi network. Name change, WWE, cooking shows and the cancellation of any decent science fiction programming they should be lucky enough to stumble into and their programming is now a joke.

Like the facebook group or follow us @ResurrectSciFi to show your support to bring the SciFi back to SyFy

I’ll definitely agree with you on this. While I’ve been known to watch the occasional terrible quality, bad dialogue B (C,D, and maybe even E) movie, I don’t think these are the types of things that should be used as filler on television. These kind of movies are not going to get people interested in the genre. If anything it will reinforce all of the stereotypical ideas associate with science fiction/fantasy/horror.

Everyone who enjoys the campy, sub-par cinema like Mansquito whether it be ironically or sincerely, should invest in a Netflix account and stop tuning into SyFy for these showings.

Great article. More genre enthusiasts should consider this point.

Nick and Will are wrong, and Matt Staggs is exactly right. Sci-fi used to be something greater. It used to address culturally relevant issues while entertaining the heck out of you. Army of Darkness? Sure, that was a great movie. Which is why it has no place in this conversation, it is incomparable to Mosquito man or whatever. Matt is saying stop with the crap and demand better. I personally would like to see more book adaptations, although I guess that would cost more money than Mosquito Man or whatever, but fine, pay the money and give us a good product.

I am with the movement to bring MST3K back on SyFy and have them watch all these horrible movies. That way SyFy vindicates itself and enthralls the fans.
