Why don't the Syfy Channel show classic tv sci-fi anymore ?

Years ago the old Sci-Fi channel showed Dark Shadows,Anime,Lost In Space,Star Trek and many other classic shows .

Now since NBC Universal took over they show nothing but reality programming,Infomercials and paranormal type shows .

I pay my cable for that channel so why does NBC ignore the Sci-Fi fans who want that kind of programming .

    their current schedule is Costs Less- reality/paranormal shows are Cheap to Make

    to show classic shows they have to Buy them- costs can be in the Thousands of Dollars for tv show Rights

    -Informericals PAY the station to air them so they Make the channel Money

    TV is a For Profit Business just like any other

    it fairly is a pity "Sarah Connor" became into axed. exciting, exciting sequence. yet "Heroes," which has been in the sh*tter for over a season, is going on. Fox would desire to have given it a lil greater time -- the Christian Bale action picture is going to restore interest in the franchise. i'm no longer likely to be too annoying on "American Idol," nevertheless. I get excitement from it for what it fairly is and it fairly is an incredible lead-in for one among my renowned new sequence, "Fringe." at circumstances it fairly is solid to have one massive, fairly-ate up hit human beings can rally around. i'm worried NBC won't renew "Medium," what with the massive-chinned, skunk-haired comedian (sorry, Jay) getting a on a regular basis 10pm application. "Medium" is so underrated -- the perfect blend of horror, fantasy, and genuine-life drama.

    The pickins' are getting mighty slim on cable tv. I just went through 600 channels trying to find some-thing worth watching and couldn't find anything. I don't know what I'm paying all this money for. Did you notice that the premium channels are running 'old' movies that used to be on for free? It sucks. I'm going to cancel.
