What series will premiere with the Gates on SciFi Friday?

[morjana]

A while back, the SciFi Channel announced that the third season of BSG would premiere in October, leaving fans to speculate what series would air on SciFi Friday with the Stargates.

I thought it might be their new series, "Eureka," but The Futon Critic has information that "Eureka" will air on Monday!

EUREKA (Sci Fi) - Sales materials released by the network have confirmed the series will launch on Monday, July 17 at 9:00/8:00c with its two-hour pilot. Episodes will then air Mondays at 9:00/8:00c, marking the first time one of Sci Fi's scripted dramas has aired outside its "Sci Friday" block since its short-lived "Monday Prime" lineup in 2001.

Good! It's nice to see Skiffy trying to make good on another night with original programming. I'm glad they are putting money into more than just the three shows, and not trying to do the SCI FI Friday juggling act they did for so many years before they had three winners on Friday nights. Remember Tremors: The Series? Code Name: Eternity? Lexx? The list goes on and on ...

Anyone know if Eureka will be airing in Canada?

Im thinking you will be getting S2/28 of Doctor Who, with the series has been put back by 14 weeks (I think) meaning you could either show "The Christmas Invasion" and S2, or just S2 and have a catchup week of Battlestar before S3 starts. Just a thought.

I could easily deal with season 2 of DR WHO, and not EUREKA. DR WHO's been a hoot!

Whatever airs with SG-1 and SGA, I just hope it's worth staying tuned in for.

[CKO]

Dr. Who would be good

oh yes lets also rememvber when it was Farscape, SG1, SGA on fir nite prime.... that was a great line up

This isn't the first time they tried it. In January 2001, they moved Lexx, First Wave, and Invisible Man to Mondays in attempt to establish a beachhead on Monday. Friday had Farscape share the night with a wretched show called "Black Scorpion" and a Canadian import "Secret Adventures of Jules Verne".

The results of the experiment are obvious. Later in the Summer of 2001, they tried Saturday as the alternative night--tried "First Wave", "The Chronicle", and "Outer Limits" there, while Friday was "Invisible Man", "Farscape", and "Lexx".

Lexx was very strange.... First Wave was sorta dull, and Invisible Man (which was on 8pm as I recall) was good until the morons decide they HAD to add a sexy woman to the mix. Uh, please, let's forget all about Black Scorpion (defintiely designed to appeal to the desired demographic) ....

Lexx was very strange.... .

Boy is that an understatement.

That line up never existed.

[gateroom]

They could just go back to the 8 and 9 o'clock time slots and put some other rerun show up till they start.

[the dancer of spaz]

That line up never existed.

I think we could start a HUGE list of people who wish it did these days.


I am one of them.

Yes....older men.

I'd go for that.
