SciFi bought by Universal
I was being sarcastic with that Mummy comment hehe. Its got pros and cons to the deal.
The worst aspect will be the lack of outlets for cult sci-fi. The *good* stuff. Sure Sci-Fi airs a lot of crap but every weekday they air an all day marathon of (insert cult show here) like Earth2, Good vs Evil, Alien Nation, Star Trek, Dark Shadows, etc..etc.. they literally have about 50 series they rotate
I know Ive had to set my TiVo more than once for a good daylong marathon while at work. But I fear that will all end with Universal now having their own outlet in Television.
The good news is they might get their head screwed on right. Their decision to bait and switch with EFC and Now and Again had viewers and sponsers alike really ****ed. Even their PR contact was at a loss for words when two weeks in a row he had to lie for his bosses. And after a sponser backed out they went and changed their excuse again.
One thing we can be sure of is SciFi will still be airing that Firescape crap night after night. 😛
