God I hate the SciFi Channel

Well, it used to be that a full season was 26 episodes. That was decades ago. These days anything from 13 to 18 constitutes a full season. Why the powers that be think this is a good thing is beyond me. I'd rather watch my favorite shows than some lame-*** made for TV movie during sweeps month. Then there is Christmas specials. A whole month of Christmas specials! If they still can't fill the docket we get reruns of the first 4 or 5 episodes. Are we cattle? Or sheep? We must be. They have been getting away with it for years and AT's rant is about the worst we hear but we certainly don't turn off that damn tube and say "To hell with them!"

Moo!

Now I'm kinda pissed at myself for buying what I thought was Season 2. I found it at BestBuy.

I actually haven't seen a single episode of the current season. I screwed up my Tivo settings [bliss](Tivo... ah, Tivo!)[/bliss] and recorded over the premier. Not wanting to spoil it, and knowing I could get it on DVD later, I refrained from watching any of it. That was TOUGH! I was suprised that the whole thing was only 3 discs but now I understand why... and I'm kinda pissed.

But I guess if the new episodes start again this week I'd better get watching!!

Youre right GK... we suck.

Hear, hear! There is only a TV in my place because my roommate brought it. Hour long shows reduced to 26 minutes of show and 34 minutes of ads is just too much...
