Hey, it's the Syffy channel, a wholy-owned subsidiary of NBC, now a subsidiary of KableTown. They're doing well to just keep a signal on the air.

On top of the legendary NBC programming magic, I think they're having serious cash problems. That may partially account for all the low-budget wrestling and table-rapping "reality" shows (gack, anybody who can combine the words "paranormal" and "reality" in a sentence is in touch with neither normal nor reality).

The only bright spot at Syffy continues to be their handful of original quasi-science-fiction series, like Eureka, Warehouse 13, and sometimes Sanctuary. But with that perverse NBC logic, they put them all on the same night--I think it's now Monday, but it keeps moving--so that six days a week the channel's not worth watching, while on the seventh you're supposed to devote the entire night. Braindead.

You said you "had" to watch them on computer? I'm finding that my TV experience suddenly got a lot better when I dumped cable and got all my video from the Net. What's not to like when you can watch the show on your schedule, and have an HD option if you want it?

Maybe I should start a thread on Geek about how to set up for "net TV". The time has come to apply a swift kick to the cojones of your cable company. Payback's a bitch, and payback for a half century of monopolisitic boot-in-the-face treatment is going to hurt like a sumbitch.
