Way Back Yonder: The Scifi Channel's Schedule For January 19, 1997


In 1997, the Scifi channel actually seemed to be a little more about science and a little less about Stargate SG1 and Battlestar Galactica. 1997's Scifi was filled with kick ass stories of the paranormal and tended more to the fanboy or girl than just the casual viewer. There was still a great deal of fictional shows and movies, but they were AMAZING! Bottom line, Scifi used to have alot more documentary and fan based programing as well as a good variety of fictional movies and shows! Today, the only glimpses of documentary footage you ever see are attached to Ghost Hunters or the occasional Ripley's Believe It Or Not, fan based shows are gone, and the variety in fiction is not as interesting. That's just an opinion, and we like to bitch. The Scifi Channel has come a long way! We still have love for this amazing channel. It's been a fixture in our lives for a very long time and has provided endless amounts of entertainment. As an homage to its coolness (our word choice is pretty impaired today), here is a schedule from January 19, 1997.
