Re: Now we have Monday RAW ...........OH GOD NO !!!
It makes no sense other than economic. It's like the foodnetwork running a Mythbusters episode.
Oh well, I just hope to hell this isn't the start of SciFi going wrestling. I am incapable of thinking of a more boring form of 'entertainment' than watching two guys duke it out. I really f'ing hate that piece of shit wrestling crap!

| Yeah, and seeing the way things and shows are going, USA would be the new Sci-Fi network. Just doesn't seem right, although I understand the reasons for it. If there are more idiots that like watching wrestling than that like watching sci-fi it makes sense to broadcast more wrestling than scifi on a whole.

| I had this idea a while ago:
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.

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.

| Who said anything about scifi watchers not being idiots? I sure didn't. You assume too much about my prejudices. If you reread my statement you will in fact find me speaking what I think as a scifi viewer (disgust) and as an economist (understanding.)

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"....
