I'll see your SyFy and raise you with The History Channel.

What are you talking about? If it weren't for the History channel, I wouldn't know about the impact that aliens, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, chupacabras, and the Illuminati have had on our past.

They really just need to change their name to The Hysterical Channel.

I'm really feeling the love for the History Channel.

At least for what used to be the History Channel.

I'm having Nazi Week withdrawal.

They exclusively show original SyFy programming without (new) Galactica in Hell :colbert:
Stargate was an MGM production, so that's a fair point. But you still have Eureka and Farscape. That'll keep you entertained for some time.:p

Of the shows you posted, only Galactica is any good.
BSG is, in fact, the worst of the shows he posted.

Yep. History channel used to be my go to channel. Years ago it was Hitler, Nazis, Hitler, WW2, Hitler, D-Day, Hitler, Pearl Harbor, Hitler. Now it is clogged with reality bullshit - just time to pull the plug on it.
Fixed.

Yeah, I don't get the fascination with Wil Wheaton. He isn't funny or a good actor IMO.
I don't care that much for Wil Wheaton as an actor, but I like him aside from that.

While we know Syfy has had crappy shows before, but, could it get any worse than this ?

The good news: Wil Wheaton announced via his blog today that talk show The Wil Wheaton Project has been cancelled after its first 12 episode season.

The bad news, they actually made 12 episodes. :eek:

I guess he does a lot of voice acting these days. Though judging by his Twitter, he spends more time drinking beer and playing with his dogs than actually working. I guess he still has enough of that sweet, sweet gold pressed latinum in the vault from his Trek days. Probably living off royalties.

He seems like a prick in real life. And I never liked most his characters. Wesley was probably his best, which is not saying much.

He seems like a good dude but he's a raging liberal idiot. I still follow him on Twitter but he lost his retweeting privileges after Ferguson.

The show wasn't half bad. Why is it nobody here satisfied until someone fails? :(

I've met him twice. He's the nicest, friendliest, most down to Earth person you can imagine in real life. If he has time, he'll chat your ear off.

You have got to be joking.
It was a big clip show, with horrible comedy, and it never should have been green lit.

The exec who OK'ed it should be fired as well.

Never cared for the guy, saw him in that Felicia Day web series but I found him annoying in that. I stopped watching Syfy a long time ago, not surprised to see a crappy clip show get the green light and then canceled.

he was the worst actor on TNG. The show got better when he left.
DOnt know why anyone thinks he could be the star of anything.
