Sci Fi Channel Daily Marathons

I fell in love with the Sci Fi channel back in the 90's. It's a great channel. I lost my way with silly things like working. However, over the past six months I've reunited with this channel.

Monday through Friday Sci Fi does daily marathons from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Each day they focus on just one show. So if you have never seen this show you can learn about it, or if you don't get to watch a particular show when it airs in the evenings you can catch up on it. Most importantly, you get to watch a mini marathon of a show you really like.

Each week the line up is different. They run shows that are truly science fiction, others that never made it, or only ran one season, and Sci Fi original shows. You can watch anything from Tales from the Darkside, The Outer Limits, Dead Like Me, John Doe, Roswell, and Eureka.

I suspect someday we will see Kyle XY, Moonlight, Blood Ties, and maybe even Pushing Daisies. Other shows that would qualify, but are so mainstream might not make it to Sci Fi would be Charmed and Smallville.

Whatever your favorite science fiction show tune to the Sci Fi channel and see if they are running a mini marathon of it. I sure enjoy checking the listings each week.

I am huge SciFi watcher, but actually disappointed with SciFi channel as they have terrible shows on their most of the time.

Battlestar Galatica is terrible and they play it to death. How about all the Star Treks or Babylon 5? How about the original Battlestar Galactica or Dune?

I don't have Tivo or Digital cable so often I am just guessing what the show is. I wish they would put a tag at the bottom of the screen that told the name of the show (like TNT and SpikeTV does).

Just my $.02!

They just recently did a Star Trek Enterprise marathon. Bummer that you missed it. I know I wasn't allowed to turn it off over here with a resident Trekkie here!

You can actually go to the scifi channel to see the listing for the shows each day. They have the week (possibly even month) all laid out for you. It gives you the schedule for the entire day with name of the show and name of episode. Check it for tomorrow at: http://www.scifi.com/schedulebot/index.php3?date=6-DEC-2007&feed_req=

and then surf around to find the next day you might be able to watch it.
