Why SyFy is the Worst Channel on TV

  Ok today I am going to rant about SyFy. To me this channel used to be great. Now it's just overflowing with garbage. Back when SyFy used to be called Sci-Fi Channel, there were great shows, such as Mystery Science Theater 3000, and the Stargate series which I never even watched. Here's why SyFy is the worst channel on TV.
   1. Too Many Ghost Shows. I tend to notice that Syfy has been showing way to many, Ghost Hunters programming. I used to watch Ghost Hunters, but after a while the show started to get stupid when a spin off program called Ghost Hunters International began airing which I never watch. Don't even get me started on Haunted Collector. Now don't get me wrong here, I do think that haunted items are interesting, but who in their right mind would watch a show about haunted items, every week. It would be the same thing over and over again. It would get real old really fast.
   2. Too Many Reruns of Older TV Shows. I tend to notice this trend a lot especially on weekday mornings. Sometimes SyFy will run marathons of old TV shows such as V, Early Edition, or Star Trek TNG. I don't mind watching Star Trek TNG. Why don't they show other programming that isn't from the 80s and early 90s? Why run marathons of old TV Shows? Well, here's my theory, I think that SyFy airs these older TV shows to fill in the airspace when they could be showing one of their horrendous Original Movies.
   3. Bad Original Movies. I suggest that you read my older post about why these movies are bad.http://jcmotorsofficial.blogspot.com/2011/05/syfy-channel-original-movies-are.html because I don't feel like typing everything over again. But I'll tell you that They are all bad.
   4. Smackdown. If there has to be the most unrelated show to air on this channel, it would have to be WWE Smackdown. I like WWE but why does Smackdown have do go on a channel that has a science fiction theme? What does professional wrestling have to do with SyFy? Absolutely nothing. WWE and SyFy don't mix. Why? Well for one reason it is because Science fiction and professional wrestling are two different things and are totally unrelated. I know that WWE gave the rights to NBC Universal to air WWE Programming, but why SyFy. Couldn't they air Smackdown on USA on Friday Nights?
   Well there you have it this is why SyFy sucks now.

SyFy Channel Original Movies Are Unoriginal and Bad

  Every once in a while my mom will have on the SyFy Channel and they would be showing one of their original movies. I can tell you this they are all cheesy and predictable. These movies are 99.999% bad that they are actually riffable. If you are reading this post and wondering what I mean by riffable I will tell you. Riffing is when you crack jokes at a horrible movie. If any of you are familiar with the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000 or MST3K for short you will know what I am referring about. You probably know or have heard about Rifftrax which is basically the same thing as MST3K.
  Now if you go onto IMDB and look up one of these movies, you'll notice that they all have low user ratings. This alone just goes to show how bad these movies are. Take the movie Snakehead Terror for instance. This movie is allegedly based on actual events that took place at a lake in Northern Maryland. Now the problem with this movie is that it is unoriginal. Why is it unoriginal? Well considering that this movie is a ripoff of a couple of major blockbuster movies, such as the Jaws franchise, Lake Placid series and Piranha. Lets investigate how similar Snakehead Terror is to Jaws shall we. First off both Jaws and Snakehead terror have law enforcement officials as main characters. Jaws has a police chief and Snakehead Terror has a sheriff. Second Jaws and Snakehead Terror both deal with a town that has a tourism industry that is being threatened by a man eating monster. Third the head of the local law enforcement wants the lake and or beaches to be closed to swimming in boating and even puts up signs to prevent people from doing so. Fourthly both in Jaws and Snakehead terror, there are scenes of local fisherman going into the water to catch the beast that has done the harm. The fifth similarity is that both movies have a scientist being called in to investigate the terrorizing fish.
   One factor to these SyFy Channel movies that contributes to them being so bad is that they all have some kind of really shitty looking CGI monster. These CGI monsters look so convincingly fake that they make the Godzilla costumes look real. Another thing that I noticed about these B Movies is that a great majority of them are filmed in Canada. Why Canada? I have nothing against America's Hat here. It just seems to me that everyone of these movies are filmed there. They probably get some kind of tax break to film in Canada.
    Another thing I will mention is the horrible acting in these SyFy Channel movies. They get Z list actors and some D list ones to star in this movie. Take the movie Snakehead Terror again, Carol Alt was in it. Why does the name Carol Alt sound familiar? Oh wait Family Guy made fun of her. If it wasn't for Family Guy making fun of her being an aging supermodel, I wouldn't have known who in the hell she was.
    Finally if you are super bored and have friends around turn on the SyFy Channel and watch one of their original movies and Riff the hell out of it. I guarantee you'll have a great time and generate lots of laughs in the process. Every time my mom and I watch one I riff it at her annoyance.
