Sci-Fi before it was SyFy... back when they actually had good programming.

Thanks AoF! I didn't remember that one, for some reason.

When they put them in the lower right corner of the screen, they call them "bugs." When Sci-Fi Channel first started airing "Mystery Science Theater 3000" in 1997, the bug would cover up Mike and the 'bots, and viewers complained. So, just for MST3K, they moved the bug to the lower
left corner of the screen

Man.........this channel has really tanked. Used to love it.
And they don't even care. It's all about ratings, not satisfying their audience.

I don't think they even care, anymore. It used to be guys like us. Think about it: they're owned by NBC Universal. The only place to see classic Universal horror films is on "Svengoolie." I think the last time SFC aired a classic UniMonster flick was on "MST3K." That's almost 20 years ago, now.

I'm trying to, yes. The true "Beginning of the End" for Syfy.

The first one was a novelty. After that ... it was just embarrassing. That third one was not only incomprehensible, but quite literally painful to watch!

Or...the Star Wars prequels. At least Sharknado had no artistic pretention.

Oddly enough, the first thing ever shown on Sci-Fi Channel was the original "Star Wars." This was before the Special Editions, so it was the original, theatrical cut. An old college buddy of mine worked there at the time, and he remembers the moment they "threw the switch" and went live. He later went on to help launch SFC's original in-house movies, and was co-producer on such films as "Frankenfish," "Snakehead Terror," and "Mansquito." He left not long after the first "Sharknado" aired, as he felt Syfy was no longer in touch with what he felt was their core audience.
