Re: do you think a single person approved of the name-switch from Sci-Fi to SyFy? [Re: tiny_rabid_birds]

I *think* the name change has to do with the fact that the Sci-Fi Channel's abbreviation too closely resembles the Science Channel (abbreviated as SCI).

SCIFI, SCI... somebody had to give in.

I remember when the sci-fi channel was first created. their first commercials were really fucking strange at the time.

their shows were a lot better back then too. cheesy horror movies, science mystery theatre, old twilight zone episodes, outer limits.

i don't watch it anymore because everything on there looks like babylon galactica




:thumbup:

Not to mentions shitty movies about Giant Piranhas and Giant Sharks or something else giant. I fucking cringe when I see whatever crap they're pushing now.

And to me the name just confirms that they've hit rock bottom and have accepted their degeneration into absolute bullshit programming.
