   The Sci Fi channel died a long time ago when they took off showings of   
   the classic shows and began airing "reality shows". Those shows should   
   have stayed on the USA Network. The final nail in their coffin was the   
   rebranding to SyFy Channel.   
      
   And execs like Bonnie Hammer should be forced to watch endless reruns of   
   Gilligan's Island/The Brady Bunch/The Partridge Family/The Beverly   
   Hillbillies for weeks on end with no break!   
      
   Research the history behind the cancellation of Farscape and the   
   continuation of Stargate SG-1 from season 6 and maybe you'll understand.
