First of all, is there any proof that Oxygen's mandate was "men bad, women good?" Especially since this series was greenlit while Gerry Laybourne, the channel's real founder (Oprah was just there for money and prestige), was still running things and before the sale to NBCU and the takeover by Lauren Z. And I'm not going to go into my "highbrows don't watch TV and won't buy cable" and "barn door open and horses left" arguments, since you've all seen them before (or can search them), but it seems to me that one or two nights of prime time rasslin' on SyFy is not exactly an abandoned mandate, if SF/horror/fantasy or related programming continues to make up the bulk of the schedule. -- TV or Not TV ....
