Kiss my ass "SyFy"
Dear Science Fiction Channel (aka Sci-Fi, now the channel known for destroying Farscape)
I *AM* the general public. When your channel was first growing, I'm the one that watched you and your infinite Star Trek Reruns.
But now you think you're too good for me? That, heavens help, Sci-Fi brings images of furtive viewing from that geek with four-inch thick glasses in his mother's basement?
Do you know what I think your problem is "SyFy"? It's the fact that you lost the real geeks a LONG time ago by trashing good shows you used to put on, such as Farscape. You lost the geeks to the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel and instead you put on total garbage. Destination Truth? Ghost Hunters? These are some of your best programs?
And while we're at it. Is that really what you think a geek is? That tired old cliche? Are we all the geeks from "Saved by the Bell" to you? Boy, are you off the mark. There's so much geekiness that doesn't fall into your little cliche... most of the people on this friends' list, most of the people on my friends' list back on CC don't fit into your little cliche. But.. if you want to go with cliches, let me tell you what cliche YOU remind me of "SyFy". You remind me of the adolescent boy, still growing up, trying to figure out who he is and trying to figure out if he's as 'uncool' as he fears he is. You're in Denial, "SyFy", and you're adolescence is astounding.
So good luck to you "SyFy". I've not watched you much before (because of the drek you put on your station), but I'm fairly sure I won't be watching you hithertoforward either.

For the most part, they lost me when they stopped the Saturday morning MST3K re-runs. But please. SyFy? C'mon, have a little respect for your audience and stop dumbing everything down! Oh no, wait, I forgot. They're owned by NBC. That explains everything.

They've gone the way of MTV not playing music videos, they don't play science fiction movies or shows anymore.
Bag it, Im off to watch Animal Planet. Okay, and maybe some MythBusters. Mythbusters is still for geeks like us.

I find it kind of funny since all of the recent HUGE movies have been comic book movies and some of the most popular shows on TV are Battlestar and Heroes. Accept that geeks are inheriting the Earth, already. Geeze, people.
