^^^ The ratings rarely consider online streaming, Netflix, on demand, DVR or iTunes downloads. Now, these things aren't bringing in the same money for the TV stations, so as a measure of advertisement that's fair, but it's unfair in considering the actual number of fans.

Also, more niche shows are never going to get reality reflected in Neilson ratings since they're a small sample of viewers.

That said, Syfy has sold its soul to WWE and cheap B movie knock offs/sequels. If the point is you can make more money that way, well fine, stop pretending to be worthwhile. . Their (current?) head came from Oxygen or Lifetime or somewhere and has professed her own distaste for science fiction, so I'm hardly hopeful. The networks have begun to add more scifi/specfic programming but it's not geared towards the geeks. It is the best we have without the BBC involved though.

Give me the Syfy channel and enough money to secure the rights and even if I have NO new content, you'll get to watch reruns of Star Trek, Babylon 5, Farscape, SG-1/Atlantis, BSG universe, Twilight Zone, etc. for the rest of your life.
