Can anyone give me suggestions on good shows to start watching that are not on network TV? Our favorite network shows are The Office and House, if that gives you an idea of what we like. Thanks!

I wonder exactly what this means. I did some investigating as this peaked my curiosity. It appears that the [i][b]Sci Fi[/b][/i] network is wanting to change its "[i]nerdy[/i]" image and be more youthful and hip. They targeted a group of 18 to 34 year olds and passed the name "[i][b]SyFy[/b][/i]" to them. They loved it, saying [b]SyFy[/b] is actually is how you’d text it in a conversation or text message. The channel is making the name change on 7/7/09 and is also launching the new series [i]“Warehouse 13[/i]” the same day. They also stated that the international Sci Fi channels will transition to the new "SyFy" name over the next six to twelve months. The website www.SciFi.com also will make the change to www.Syfy.com. Personally, I think this is a rather stupid idea. I like the name [b][i]"Sci Fi" Channel[/i][/b]. I don't like [i][b]SyFy[/b][/i]. It is more phonetic as opposed to actually representing the actual words "[i][b]Science Fiction[/b][/i]". I feel as though they are "dumbing it down" for the general public. So what do you think of this change? I mean as far as I'm concerned, the only people who truly watch the [i][b]Sci Fi Channel[/b][/i] are the geeky, nerdy people. They really aren't the teenage crowd that visit the mall and text their "[i]BFF's[/i]".
