When the news of the cancellation of Farscpe broke, I wrote Skiffy a letter. A long letter. Basicly I told them that if they didnt want to show Science Fiction with a capital SF, they should change the name of their Channel. I let them know in no uncertain terms that if they didnt show programs that people were interested in viewing, no one would be there to watch their commecials, and any attempt to be a mainstream provider was doomed to failure. They should work their niche a bit better. Instead of SF or even SciFi we get "The Dream Team" and "Crossing Over" and the umpteenth reshowing of "The Twilight Zone". There are tons of genre pieces that could be shown on SciFi, but are constantly ignored. xponent Rarely Watch Anymore Maru rob ________________________________ You are a fluke of the universe.
