Seriously, how can a wrestling show have higher ratings in a scifi (no pun intended) channel, even higher than Stargate?
Eureka is understandable, but wrestling?!
Ya wrestling, the ratings of all WWE programming usually out does anything on the scifi channel. I do not blame the scifi channel for wanting to make money. I am NO wrestling fan but I do not look down on it like a lot of people on here do. If it means having a wrestling show on the scifi channel so we can have a extra season of Atlantis, BSG and Eureka then God Bless the ECW and WWE.
For all the wrestling haters, no one is forcing you to watch it.
My point is that scifi fans are usually smart people and like to watch inteligent stuff, which is the opposite of ECW
I don't want to offend anyone, it's my point of view
Pretty pathetic isn't it. Just days before Stargate was canceled, I submitted a post to this forum pointing out Stargate was getting beaten by the likes of Disney kiddie shows "Hannah Montana & The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" & that SCI-FI Channel wasn't doing enough to deal with the ratings problem. My post mysteriously disappeared. I think some people didn't want to hear the truth out of their own ignorance. The FACT is SCI-FI Channel WASN'T doing enough to deal with the ratings problem. Now, they are RAMMING ECW Wrestling (faked fights) down our throats. It gets worse. Tonight, Monday August 28, SCI-FI Channel is showing TWO HOURS of RAW wrestling (normally on USA network, pre-empted for US Open) on SCI-FI Channel tonight. That's right. TWO HOURS. What the frak does wrestling have to do with Science Fiction???
That is no scifi, they are losing their image and they will suffer after stargate
I just stopped watching eureka, i liked the first episodes, but it lost its interest
It's their loss

Dude, there is nothing wrong with that. Some people might say they stuff the Stargates down our throats. ECW was a great show a long time ago. It was smart in the storylines, and such, but now it was brought back as a cheap imatation of the original that is okay, but not great.
ECW and RAW have nothing to do with Sci-fi, they have a loyal fan base and thats the only reason they get good ratings. They have nothing to do with SG-1 getting cancelled.
By the way, nothing is being rammed down your throat either. ECW is on the Sci-fi channel, you have a remote.

There are more rednecks than smart people in America, that's why.

You have to look at the ratings that WWE Raw doess on the USE channel , they get anywhere from a 3.0 to a 4.0 ... Most of those people that watch WWE on monday nights also watch ECW on Tuesday nights , then SMACKDOWN on Friday nights ... So alot of the ratings that use to go to STARGATE Went to SMCKDOWN on Friday nights ...
So if you look at it , Sci-Fi messed up with 2 things , First was the time they aired STARGATE SG-1 ... STARGATE had to go up against MONK on USA , also SMACKDOWN on UPN ...
The STARGATE ATLANTIS has to go up against PSYCH on USA and SMACKDOWN on UPN As well ..
So i could see how STARGATE lost alot of ratings , Most people would watch one show live then either record the second show , or watch the second showing of STARGATE ...
I myself watch STARAGET LIVE both runs , and ALSO Record then on my DVR , Then i Watch MONK on COMCAST ON-DEMNAD the next day ..
I dont get UPN so i dont watch SMACKDOWN , and yes i do like wreslting , but i like STARGATE alot more ..
how can "who wants to be a superhero" be getting money rather then stargate.......

We got belt buckles, and shoelaces and a piece of gum build me a Nuclear reactor for crying out loud. You used to be MacGyver, MacGadget, MacGimik but now your Mister MacUseless.
Because the Sci-Fi Channel is dumb, not the people that watch wrestling- it's escapist entertainment, just like many things are now-adays. I think Sci Fi doesn't want to admit that it's a channel devoted to science fiction and most sci fi tends to get a bit lower ratings.
