I can only guess that SciFi Channel felt as if they had to do one worse

Tremors: The Series, and Scare Tactics.

How I love my Tivo. I can just cherry pick the science fiction channel
movies that I want to watch and never even see the other crap. I don't even
know how I watched TV before I had a Tivo.
Some of us look in the program guide¹ ahead of
time and make decisions for ourselves . . . :)

¹Not _TV Guide_. Since the time they changed
their internal format (the change _before_
changing from digest-size to magazine-size), they
are no more useful in figuring out what is on
than what comes free each week in the local
newspaper. Used to be they would give capsule
descriptions of old movies and syndicated shows
so you could tell if you had seen that movie or
episode before or not. Now you are lucky if they
just list the name of the show. Of course, it
may have something to do with the fact that
stations show fewer and fewer such shows these
days, having replaced them with
infomercials. (If I get bored during a 2-minute
commercial break, what makes you think I want to see a 30-minute commercial?)

I always knew that I would see the first man on the Moon.
I never dreamed that I would see the last.
