….”I would do what they did in the past and repeat old classics like The Six Million Dollar Man and Lost in Space ….”

I like that plan. Also…there could be a kind of kitsch retro hour where you could dig up some of those old “in search of the Yeti(Loch Ness, UfO..whatever)”, type of shows that Leonard Nimoy and Rod Serling were narrating in the 70’s. They are fun just for that reason.

I agree with #16 IZBOT, I thought Sci-Fi channel was supposed to be about Sci-Fi??? I guess they will change the name to Reality Channel and Sci-Fi will be sent to late nights on Spike TV.
What is the point of Ghost Hunters College when A&E does it better with Paranormal State.

I wish someone with half a brain would take over Sci-Fi, it is such a wasted opportunity. I would do what they did in the past and repeat old classics like The Six Million Dollar Man and Lost in Space and a mix of old original shows like Farscape and show new programming like Stargate, Sanctuary, and Galactica on during primetime. While I’m at it, instead of making those B movies for Saturday night, how about some TV movies of Trek or other old Sci-Fi shows.

Scare Tactics should be on the Chiller channel and WWE should be on Spike.

Except Bale when ahead and did it by signing up as John Connor in the new Terminator. Personally, I think Craig was smart to avoid that.

I believe Craig said he didn’t want to be connected to two major franchises (Bond and Thor). Simmilar approach shared by Christian Bale in regards to Batman and Bond (yes, some people want to see him as OO7)…

#16 – So you’re thinking “Girls Gone Ghost Hunters” isn’t going to fly, hunh? Yeah, I’d have to concur.

Although I suppose it would be a good lead in for the “Stargate: 90210″ show the stargate folks are putting together to replace the outstanding Stargate and so-so Atlantis series.

Guess I’m getting old :(

On the brighter side, the older I get the more relevant “Space Cowboys” is, so I got that going for me :)

There must be a filter here at work. Well let me say what I was trying to say earlier. And let me see if I can figure out what the offensive words were. I’ll say it another way.

Regarding the Dr. Strange movie. I sure hope it’s better than the horrible CBS movie of the late 70’s. He looked like a cross between Harry Reams and Ron Jeremy and evidently was a practicioner of the boring arts rather than the mystical arts. Because it was God-awful boring.

Regarding Daniel Craig as Thor…I think that would have been cool.

Is there something wrong with the boards tonight? I can’t imagine anything I’ve said is worse than Seth Rogen’s family friendly quotes on his Green Hornet project. That’s twice I’ve tried to say my two cents.
