In January 1997, I bought a satellite dish system just to get the Sci-Fi Channel so I could see MST3K (also, my local cable company sucks felched goat ass). Now, three-and-half years later, I loathe the SFC. They killed MST3K, but not until moving it all over the schedule (a sure sign of impending doom). So, when they picked _Sliders_ I was happy. Until I saw the 4th season. Very weak. The 5th season sucked diseased monkey nuts. It, too was cancelled. Oooooookay, they picked up _Good vs Evil_ and it only lasted TEN EPISODES!! I’ll give SFC some credit: they’re getting a lot better at killing shows I like. Here’s the tally: MST3K: 48 eps Sliders: 40 eps Good vs Evil: 10 eps Oh well, Sci-Fi Channel, you can suck my lower intestine until your lower jaw locks up and you die. ---

OTOH, _Farscape_ is one of the best things on television right now. ---

Farscape is probally the best show on Sci-Fi at the moment. Good Vs. Evil was orginally aired on U.S.A. I think, so Sci-Fi just got the left overs. Sliders ran its course a long time ago, they should have ended it at least when the main character split. ---

Any channel that would dare rob me of MST3K can burn in hell forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever! Most original, clever show in history and the fuckers kill it? Die, die, die, die!!!:mad: ---

MMmmm… Kai… :::Drool::: I also have a major thing for Cade on First Wave… nummy 🙂 Sliders deserved to be cancelled after that last episode… the whole “merged” person bs was just laaaaame. I think _somebody_ thought their career was going to soar after making that Mars movie. ---

You know, what television really needs these days is a show that reallt SPEAKS to the younger generation, a show that shows what life is REALLY like, a show that examines issues that confront real people every day. Issues like: should I sleep wiith my best friends gorgeous girlfriend? Should I get a job? Should I have sex with this woman while dating another woman? To make it really relevant, it should examine the lives of a mixed group, say six people, who all live in a big city, like NY. But they should all be white, since no minorities live in NY. That’s what television really needs! 😃 I miss MST3K a lot too. It gave me my handle! ---

You know, I realized that I was defending the Sci-Fi channel (because I do so love it), while using an MST3K quote for my sig. So I will still curse their horrible horrible judgement in ending it. ---

I got the book a couple of weeks ago. HILARIOUS!! For those of you who may have read it: I think, but I’m not really sure, Mike doesn’t like Jim Carrey. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/damn-you-sci-fi-channel/27293.md?page=2)
