PTS Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I've had my DVR for a couple of months now and because of it I have been introduced to channels other than ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, etc. I gotta say that the quality of shows on networks like USA and Sci-Fi is fantastic. USA does an awesome job with their show programming. I'm hooked on The 4400, Dead Zone and Monk. I never thought I'd be a Sci-Fi guy but I love the Stargate shows on that channel. It's nice to see some quality TV shows in the summer other that the reality crap that the major networks spit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Scare Tactics on the Sci-fi channel is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I swear if that was on a major network it would be one of the higher rated ones. Check out some of these clips- http://www.scifi.com/scaretactics/exclusive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Check out the new Battlestar Galactica. Brilliant show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 The 4400 is awesome; last night was great and had me guessing the entire episode (I guessed wrong... On almost every count). That "10.5" looks like it might be pretty good. The exploding buildings were cool anyway. Battlestar Gallactica was cool for the first couple of episodes, but I havn't had time to watch the rest (they're on the TiVo...) Then again, I still have about 8 episodes of Enterprise to watch as well... CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW 383967[/snapback] Last night's 440 was an utterly brilliantly written episode...i was guessing liek you and the concept behind it was amazing...that episode single handedly put life back into a season that i thought was much weaker than the first season...

Stargate Atlantis is in it's second season and so is Battlestar Galatica... SciFi Friday has all new episodes for SG1, Atlantis and BG. The season premieres were last Friday...

Pete Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 BTW the best network out there is HBO. Almost every show on that network is fresh, original and brilliant. Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sopranos, Deadwood, Oz, Entourage, Ali G, etc- great network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Thought I saw they were airing that on NBC now... 384419[/snapback] I saw that they aired the season ender a week or so ago, but I doubt they bought up the rights of the show to run themselves...

pkwwjd Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 10.5 was a made for TV movie on NBC last year -- so no kudos to the minor networks there. It was OK, nothing great, typical mediocre network acting/special effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch19079 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 UGH. The Stargate series has utterly ruined one of my favorite movies of all time. 384422[/snapback] im gunna sounds like a dork for a sec... i think it made it even better. expanded on the movie and went in to detail about the aliens. all with McGiver (sp?). it started off kinda cheezy, but developed in to a more action scifi tv show. 9 seasons is a long time. and is still the highest rated show on that station.

The Stargate series has utterly ruined one of my favorite movies of all time. 384422[/snapback] did you watch the season premiere? it looked like they're gonna turn it into Farscape SG1 i'm still gonna give it a fair chance tho as i've enjoyed SG1 for some time. Atlantis didn't really get my attention last season and was just filler between SG1 and BSG Boomer Cylon Babe = hottie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
