Burger King commercials

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I'm trying to watch movies on the SyFy network, but I can't enjoy them because every commercial break they show a damn Burger King commercial. Do they have to be shown every commercial break?

It's absolutely ridiculous; the damn commercials don't have to be shown every commercial break. I have to mute my TV because I am damn sick and tired of hearing the damn commercials shown every commercial break. I want the stupid commercials stopped. There is no sense in repeating them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

It makes no sense in doing that. Stop showing them every commercial break.

Preferred solution: Just stop showing the stupid Burger King commercial every commercial break

The fact that your service (cable, satellite or streaming) has ads was a known fact at signup. You not liking a certain ad is irrelevant. Per the other user, pay for ad-free viewing.

Just pay the subscription and ads go bye, bye

As of tdy, the syfy channel sucks!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Syfy should change the title of their channel to the Harry Potter network, because that's all they seem to show. They've cancelled really great shows and play and replay the same movies over and over.

I mean, what happened to the Child's Play series? Did Syfy just unceremoniously decide to cancel the series, just like they did with Defiance, etc?! The only time you get to watch anything worth anything is the month of October because of Halloween, and even then it's the same run of movies that they play every year. I liked this channel when it first launched.

SciFi, as it was called then, used to play movies I hadn't seen in years. Now it's nothing but repeats and Harry Potter. Doesn't this channel have anything else to play besides HP? Oh yeah: the Expendables?

I give this channel 1/2 star. That's a big drop from 4 stars in my book.

Pros:
  • Horror movies they used to show & great series
Cons:
  • Repetition

Preferred solution: I would love it if they could go back to their old format.

User's recommendation: If your a big fan of Harry Potter, then this is a channel for you. As for me: enough is enough.

I usually don’t comment on tv station programming, but I agree with you. Syfy was way better with their original series and movie choices 10 to 15 years ago.

The HP movies are all currently available on Hulu/Max and also Peacock streaming. These movies were not made to be seen on broadcast/cable with ads.

Movies

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Why is the stupid Harry Potter movies shown so much on this network, everytime there shown they show all the movies and for 3 days straight. Those movies are good and shouldn't be shown for that many days in a row, I absolutely hate those movies cause they have been shown to freaking much, they are absolutely stupid and make absolutely know sence to me.

From Wed the 27th to Sun the 31st there are showing all the Harry Potter movies for five straight days thats ridiculous, and they don't deserve to be shown that many days straight. People need to grow up and stop showing those stupid movies.

If I owned the SyFy network those movies would never be shown again. I'm tired of seeing them shown like this

Preferred solution: For the SyFy network to stop showing the Harry Potter movies so much

Agreed. If isn't the Harry Potter movies.

Then its the stupid sharknado movies they got to have on every year! These stupid movies are getting old! I want the old Sci-Fi channel back!

Ever since Sci-Fi went to Sy-Fy it totally sucks now and I hate this station! I wished they would go out of business!

Why does the channel play a lot of non syfy movies? Today I have a line up of no science fiction shows.

I thought this was the science fiction channel. It’s turning into every other channel.

Too many reruns

I've been watching SyFy for well over 20 years. You have taken off the really great shows.

Now all you do is show the same movies over and over and over again every single week.

We as SyFy freaks are tired of the same old thing ever single day and month!!! When are you going to start showing something worth our while?
