Wrestling should be moved to Spike! I don't care for Ghost Hunters but at least that fits their theme.
I miss
Andromeda,
Lexx, and
The Dresden Files. I'm a fan of
Stargate_SG-1 but all things must come to an end.
The Saturday night movies are awful! Which prompted me to send to them the following programming suggestion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the most part I strongly approve the changes in programming made at the Sci-Fi channel over the past several years. You have invested in quality new programming and it has resulted in a legion of loyal viewers. I look forward each week to Friday night! However, tonight is Saturday night; the night you air such awful movies as "Ice Spiders". I fondly recall many Saturday nights watching "Prisoners of Gravity" on TVO (TVOntario).
This is what Best Novel Hugo and Nebula Award Winner, Robert J. Sawyer has to say about PoG, "Prisoners of Gravity was the most thoughtful and creative television program ever produced anywhere in the world about the literature of science fiction, and it was a substantial Canadian success story. In first-run, it was one of the most popular series on its originating network, TVOntario, lasting for five seasons and 139 installments; it also ran on several PBS stations."
PoG still airs on Canada's Sci-Fi channel, Space: The Imagination Station, and I think you should seriously consider adding it to Sci-Fi's schedule. The show was produced on the very modest budget of $23,000 per episode, so I sure it would be inexpensive for you to purchase the rights to air the show on Sci-Fi. Unlike many re-run shows that appear dated today; the themes PoG explored are timeless! You should also consider creating new episodes of PoG or a show similar to PoG.
The program was critically successful and won several awards, including the following:
1. Two Aurora Awards
2. A Broadcast Media Award from the International Reading Association
3. A Silver Medal from the New York Festivals of Television
4. Two Gemini nominations.
5. An Honorable Mention from the Columbus International Film & Video Festival
