Now we have Monday RAW ...........OH GOD NO !!! in Anime/Sci Fi http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r16785861 en Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:07:21 EDT Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:07:21 EDT Re: Now we have Monday RAW ...........OH GOD NO !!! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16820824 Varlik : It's called testing the water ECW did great so they're seeing how much genera saturation they can pull off on the Sci-Fi Channel. My gut tells me that NBC is probably looking to move their USA network more towards the mature adult audience. And transform the Sci-fi Channel into their channel aimed at the youth demographic. They'll still probably show some show from WWE later at night on the weekends. But the bulk will be moved to the Sci-Fi. And Bravo will remain their equivalent to what A&E used to be.

True, but I'd prefer to find stuff in the category it's supposed to be in. When I go to the candy aisle in a store, I expect to find candy, when I'm in the cereal aisle I expect to see cereal. In the same way I expect to find sports on the sports channel and news on the news channels, etc.

I can't remember what it was called, but they had a timeslot where they only showed series that lasted 2 years at most. A lot of them were only partial series. Automan and Misfits of Science come to mind.

I normally don't watch Sci-Fi outside of BSG. I'll flip through it now and then but that's about it.

but outside of Sci-Fi Friday, most of the stuff Sci-Fi airs is absolute crap.

WWE would be no different.

What they need to do is bring back MST3K Saturdays.

Yes I believe it is a stupid show. But As Logan5 has said The degrading and insulting some people for wanting to watch it is wrong and I admit to being at fault also.

I guess some people find it amusing and a form of gladiatorial comedy.
To each their own I guess if we all thought the same SCi/Fi could be considered by some as nonsense as well.

Ummmm I guess that the whole concept of 'Idiots like me' who actually find wrestling a funny and amusing way to watch some TV when nothing else of quality is on fails to register with you eh?

As I said before I personally like it but would hate to see Atlantis or BSG pushed aside for it.

This week, USA is preempting the Monday Night RAW time slot tonight for a movie called Exiled, a 1998 movie based on the "Law & Order" franchise.
(As well as airing the Andre Agassi farewell tennis tour)

Vince McMahon needed to air his weekly show somewhere and since he owns ECW which is shown on Tuesday nights on Sci-Fi, it makes sense that at least for tonight that "RAW is Sci-Fi"....

Pretty unreasonable, attacking the viewers who watch the show just because it happens to be on the same network. It's not like the wrestling fans themselves decided to move to a different network.

See, I figure I wouldn't mind spending a dollar or so an episode for a good SciFi show. I also figure I'm not the only SciFi fan who wouldn't. So why not make a program which is largely funded by its fans? I figure the episodes would be made available for download or on DVD, both at a great resolution (we're major funders of the show, after all.) It's a question of economics if it'd work, but I can't help but think it could.

Television IS the opium of the masses.

Can't fault Vince McMahon (the chairman of the WWE) for being a shrewd businessman and knowing how to make both the WWE and Sci-Fi a CRAPload of $$$ by testing if Wrestling will be accepted on Sci-Fi.

After all, ECW IS the #1 rated weekly show on Cable right now so what does that say about the demographics Vince is going for??

I personally like it but would hate to see Atlantis or BSG pushed aside for it....
