Foxtel is finally getting a SciFi Channel! Woo Hoo!

About bloody time. This might justify me subscribing to foxtel then.
I have been sick and tired of FoxTel's Definition of Sci Fi only being Star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek, more Star Trek and StarGate (just to be different). And some where in the guide you might get one of the more less populare series like Andromeda or Lexx slapped at some weird arse time frame

And then I look at what one Sci Fi . Com and i am thinking "I wish we could get that show down here". Prolly still means that we are going to get the shows about 3 months after they have all ready aired in the US. But at least we are getting them.

A friend of mine is addicted to "Stargate". Whenever we eat dinner here at work in the staff room, he's always putting it on. He's always raving about how good of a show it is and blah, blah, blah... I hate it.
Whenever I see richard dean anderson, I can't help but to think he's mcgyver.

I hear that eureka show is pretty good. I've only seen 2 episodes and they were pretty decent sci fi shows. Whenever I want to watch a new show I always forget to watch it, only certain shows that I watch on a regular basis actually stick, like South Park.

My friend loves Stargate and I can't stand it.

Over all, it would be nice to be able to watch these shows as appose to downloading them the night before. Like SciFi does have some interesting shows, however I am not going to blow my bandwidth on every single one of them.

Like most of these shows,
* I have all ready got on DVD.
* I have seen to death. Lost count the number of times i have seen The Thunder Birds.
* Seens once and don't care to see it again. Eg. Lexx.
* One season wonders which they will be showing repeats in no time. Eg. FireFly.
