I have decided to branch out on my crusade against the Sci-Fi channel. We are going to include any channel that has program that contradicts its name. This crusade has been a long time coming. It started in the mid 90's with MTV. For younger readers who might not have known, MTV stands for Music Television. Aside from a marathon or 2 of The Monkeeys television series in the 80's, they played nothing but videos. That is until the mid 90's. All of a sudden they unleashed shows like The Real World, and Singled Out. These shows were contradicting the very name of the channel, as they were not about music, music videos, or anything even remotely identifying with music. Most of us did nothing and thought this was a passing phase, but it wasn't any only got worse.
So what's the big fuss about?
-----------------------------
The Sci-Fi channel is now showing wrestling one night a week. ECW as the show is called has nothing Sci-Fi related in it. So why is it on a channel devoted to Science Fiction?
The Cartoon Network is now showing Pee-Wee's Playhouse weeknights at 10pm. Although Pee-Wee's playhouse is a children's show in it's own right, it isn't animated and should not be on a channel that is supposed to be all cartoons.
I encourage everyone who views these channels to come together and send these channels e-mail, postal mail, faxes, etc..., and let them know that we the viewing public will not sit idly by any longer.
Why post this on Uber?
----------------------
This is the best community for heckling, arguing, bashing, and generally complaining. Why not put that energy to some good use.

...and the one channel that didn't have him on was PBS, and at that time of night they didn't have anything on worth watching to a kid.

I agree on the whole Sci Fi thing. Cartoon Network is better with PeeWee though. And it's on Adult Swim, so fuck it. PeeWee was the coolest

For all those who wish me to commit suicide........Fuck You!
I don't care if Sci-Fi shows star trek out of order, or if it prefers to show the new Dr. Whos and the New Galacticas. At least those are Sci-Fi based programs. I just can't see why they are showing wrestling. Yes money is a key factor in everything, but does that mean that every channel must have wrestling, news, and reality shows? I don't like having all channels the same. That defeats the point of having more then one channel.
It's like when I was a kid and we didn't have cable. If the president of the U.S. was addressing the nation you got stuck watching him because he was on all but one channel that you could pick up with an antenna, and the one channel that didn't have him on was PBS, and at that time of night they didn't have anything on worth watching to a kid.

Theyre also showing the original Star Trek series out of order, the bastards! And would it kill them to show the ORIGINAL Battle Star Galactica? And while we're at it I haven't seen Space:1999 on SciFi OR Dr Who OR Space:Above and Beyond!
And the movies they show are always shitty B movies. Not the good ones with Doug Mclure but the REALLY shittyones that invairiably star Jon Voight or the guy from the Highlander series!
AND why havent they put on the Highlander series?!

They do it for money. If SciFi is showing wrestling, it's because commercial time in wrestling shows generates more income than commercial time in "Mantis II: Giant Green Exoskelton of Death" or whatever. MTV is all about profit - don't think for a second that it was ever about music. That was just the hook. They've since realized that their average viewers (14-year-old girls and their brainless boyfriends) don't know a thing about music and would much rather watch a 30-minute exercise in product placement disguised as a show about dysfunctional interpersonal relationships so thay can unconciously think they're better than someone somewhere and prove it by buying the soda that person hates. Bye bye music.
Want to protest? Turn off the TV, and go outside. Simple as that.

Pee Wee's Playhouse does, in fact, have cartoons in it.
Close enough.

You are a fucking waste of bandwidth. And skin. And air.
Please swallow a shotgun barren and redecorate your roof.
