That’s three more seasons than I thought it would get. I’m sure it’s a fine show, but SyFy is on its last legs.

    SyFy is on its last legs.

    People have been saying that since the '00s.

    They've been right. I'm surprised there's any scifi on the channel at all now. It's been primary wrestling for years

    They don't have a lot going on right at the moment, but The Expanse was the best sci-fi show in decades, so maybe you're painting with a brush that's just a tad too big.

    But for being on their last leg for almost 25 years (of the channel's 32 year life) they sure are still surviving. Whether you agree with their programming or not they are still here.

    I don't really agree with this argument. TLC, MTV, VH1, History, Discovery, Animal Planet, etc are all still there despite being pretty much 100% reality TV these days. Most cable channels cycle between showing the same garbage TV and only still exist so that cable companies can brag about having 1000 channels even though they all show the same stuff and have a historically low subscriber count. They're zombie channels.

    It's all right. I fell off it after one too many comedy "animal accidentally gets killed" scenes for me, which hurt what was otherwise a fun, feel-good sitcom. Tudyk is excellent as always and the supporting cast of small-town weirdos are mostly likeable. It's not for me but I can understand people loving it.
