Why does the channel play a lot of non syfy...

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.

Tom Hanks and the America’s program

I love to watch beautiful documentaries about our wonderful Country, but when you choose a person who deliberately goes on a stupid saturday night live, and basically mocks over half of the American public as racist MAGA people, I wont be watching it, or anything else the man does! I am so sick of those holier than thou *** who have made millions and millions from everyday people, who just want some entertainment without their *** politics! Maybe one day before they become insignificant, theyll figure it out!

Objectionable Programming

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

Dear Sci Fi overseers, I want to voice a major complaint over your programming of "The Predator" (on Thur., Jan 2.) on the SciFi Channel in the early afternoon. My children, and myself, liked the "Predator series" but I wasn't expecting over 200 *** bombs throughout the movie laced with other profanities.

However, the "F" word was the obvious word of choice for this entire movie. I was embarrassed that I turned it on and exposed my family to it for as long as I did. I recorded it for myself to see just how much crude profanity was used. It should have been "X" or "R" rated!

Why show this when young people are still in front of the television? Why not later in the night for "adult entertainment?

Why can't this station edit out the foul language? When the Trump administration takes office, I will lobby the FCC to restrict this kind of senseless, profane movie unless the vulgar words are edited out!

Put on different movies and shows!!!!!

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

The majority of America owns Twilight Zone, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

More variety would be nice and too much monotony gets annoying especially when it's every day.

View full review
Cons:
  • Monotonous

Preferred solution: More movies and shows!!!! But not the same things over and over. Example of played too much: Harry Potter, Twilight Zone and Lord of the Rings. The majority of America owns those on DVD.

User's recommendation: Different movies and shows!!!

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?

The worst programming of any channel!! Plays the same thing ad - nauseam.

Please rename the channel as it's general programming now.

How many times can you run Harry Potter ? Unbelievable!

Credits

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

I know you want to promo up coming shows but I hate your squeezing the credits so they cant be read. These people made the very product you enjoy, but you make them un identifiable.

Almost as if they never existed.

I worked thirty years at a major network, I know how important credits are. Sometimes its all we have left to let you know we were here.

Is not letting me watch the movies on the syfy on my tv.

It's terrible. I'm not getting the resolution that I need to watch Syfy movies that I wanted to look at on my JVC flat screen TV.

I'm having trouble trying to see the movies. I didn't have a problem last week, and now it's giving me a problem this week.

Movie repetition is not good. I do enjoy marathons, but you should probably learn to count and show movies in order.

Seems like every to there's a marathon, the order is scrambled. 0r they are showing one movie over and over.

I used to love sci-fi but I have Dish Satellite and on there on demand channels sci-fi used to promote several of the old TV movies that made the channel great.

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

Syfy recently removed over a dozen of my favorite movies from Dish On Demand menus. Especially for those of us who have been Syfy fans forever, that really sucks!

View full review

Preferred solution: I would look for sci-fi to put their old movies back on Dish channel on demand.

User's recommendation: If you like the movies that made sci-fi great then write to them or whatever and let them know

Terrible programming

Would be nice if the Syfy channel would show science fiction. This channel is a joke.

Seems that all is shown is Harry Potter every time I turn it on. Where are all the old science fiction movies and series that used to be available?

Its time you find real science fiction in order to call yourself Syfi. Very disappointed.
