Good grief.

I've actually enjoyed watching the SF Channel on Friday nights.
Sometimes I've even taped it when I know I'm going to be out and want to
catch a two parter.

But edgy, current, broad based appeal?  Please.

And some of their offerrings are almost too bad to be believed.  The
last weekend in February I was sick as a dog.  I'd run out of things to
read on Saturday night.  So I put on SciFi and watched their "original"
Saturday night flick.  It was "Alien Siege."  The movie was so bad it
was stunning.  I wondered if they were planning to revive MST3K and were
building up a stock of suitable material.

Best,
