Spike TV was originally The Nashville Network.
G4 was originally TechTV.
Pretty soon, all 500 cable channels will be exactly the same.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

SurgeTV hopes to tap into the newfound audience of science fiction wrestling fans, by promoting cross-over programming, including Eureka's Colin Ferguson's guest appearance in the ECW ring, and Season 2 of Stan Lee's Who Wants To Be A Superhero to include ring matches between competitors. Saucier, racier stories will be aired after the midnight hour, and in a change for the popular channel, may include R-rated material.
Yeah, I vote joke.

OLN is changing its name to VS (Versus).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
In OLN's case, I approve -- people watch it for bike racing and hockey playoffs, not the huntin' an' fishin' that they show at odder and odder hours; it's a sports network now, however dumb the new name.
But people watch SciFi for... SciFi. So, huh?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've never even heard of OLN.
I wonder if the people who wrote that release are aware of how closely it represents an Onion article.
I was thinking the same thing. There's nothing about a change on the Sci-Fi site.

OLN covers the Tour de France. I also saw darts on there a couple of nights ago. I didn't even know it was legal to show a dart competition anywhere outside of Great Britain.
I became fascinated with darts when I was in London for two weeks in January 2004 and 2005. It took me three days alone to figure out the scoring.

Yeah, that article says that it's moving away from "nerd tv". . . does this mean no more BSG? Doctor Who? Eureka?
What about the Dresden Files -- I want to see that!

I'm praying it's a joke. There can't be more money in wrestling than in geeks. There just can't be.
