To be honest, there aren't that many actual scifi shows that they have left.
They may as well rename the channel to the Miscellaneous channel.

Yeah, it's just sad. But I guess it's all about profit. I mean, if you look at

About ten or fifteen years ago, 20/20 aired a show on how Russian and Chinese
spies were trying to infiltrate toy companies to steal the tech. This was back
when toys first start being built with sophisticated computer tech, like the
