By the way, did you catch those hilarious Scifi ads this week about how they're “Number 6″?
How is that something to crow about when you have so much new programming?
Oh, and when you looked at the small print, they excluded ESPN, Disney and who knows which other channels to get to Number 6!!
SciFi is another network that needs to hire people who know quality when they see it.
