My "i"s! My "i"s!

"SciFiSyFy: Because there is no 'I' in 'team'. So we're taking it out of 'sci-fi', too."

Honestly, that's a better explanation than any they've offered. (I've ranted at length elsewhere.)

Seems they're sick of us, and want to get mainstream America's eyeballs instead. Good luck with that.

Yeah, they've finally realized that it's only the spelling of their name that's kept the hordes from demanding even more "Sharksquitoconda Hunters". ::eyeroll::

Because in a media environment where customers have access to 500 channels, it makes PERFECT SENSE for each channel to imitate the other 499.

I want to know what school of business these geniuses graduated from, so I can avoid working for any company managed by their classmates.

Actually, I'm told that standard business school prescription is that if there's one gas station in the entire town, a prospective second gas station should locate in the same place ... because the first guy already did the work of finding the perfect location. So by that logic, every network should air the same market-tested content as well, right?? ::eyeroll::

Oh, I'm not surprised at the sucking. I'm just gobsmacked by their reasons for following the shining examples of HalliburtonXe and Philip MorrisAltria.

Just call them "the syphillis channel".
