There used to be a television channel that played science fiction. It was a terrific thing! They had Star Trek and Space:1999 and I kept hoping my family would get cable television so that I could watch my favorite genre on television.
Later, when I could afford it on my own, I got cable, mainly for the SciFi channel.
Now it's gone. Introduce SYFY.
I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise and perhaps it is time for the SciFi channel to Rest In Peace. They mainly play wrestling, fantasy and cheap "reality" shows where people chase ghosts and UFO's. Where's the science fiction?
Their highest rated and most acclaimed program was Battlestar Galactica but that's over. They didn't learn that there is a world-wide audience that is hungry for well-produced, intelligent science fiction based drama. They canceled Stargate Atlantis and have nothing really to take its place.
Last night they were playing one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
I guess I'll have to make my own SciFi channel. Thank goodness for DVD.

Headline News
It has been weeks and STILL the headline news is: Michael Jackson.
CNN has become the Michael Jackson channel with his music as the fade out or between stories. I cannot understand why this weird pop singer with a fetish for youth and self-mutilation via surgery holds the media's (and presumably) most of America's viewer's interest.
Will they finally bury the story when they bury his body?
