* {{Anime}}: The channel aired japanese animation beginning in 1997, with notable shows and movies including ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'', ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'', ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' (with the Creator/StreamlinePictures dub), ''Anime/ProjectAKo'', ''[[Anime/EighthMan 8th Man After]]'', and ''[[Anime/{{Gigantor}} The New Adventures of Gigantor]]''. Eventually, the programming was phased out, but was brought back in 2007 with the channel's new Ani-Monday block. Unfortunately, as a side effect of the channel's descent into Network Decay, the block was moved to Tuesdays, and then to Thursdays (both times without changing the name), before it was eventually removed from the network completely.

* WinBackTheCrowd: As stated above, the network president is expressing interest with bringing the channel back to its roots, complete with an announcement for ''Ascension'', a six-hour mini-series in the spirit of ''Battlestar Galactica'' and the first mini-series to air on the channel since ''Alice'' back in 2009. That being said, cheap B-movie creature features such as ''Sharknado'' will remain, though not in the same abundance as they were during the channel's decline.

Along with the new name, the NetworkDecay which has been slowly developing for a decade is becoming more prevalent in TheNewTens, with more and more SciFi programs being phased out for more reality shows.

* NetworkDecay: Considered to be in "NetworkDecay/TotalAbandonment" status.
** They used to air anime on Monday nights, coining the pun ''Ani-Mondays''. Then it was shifted to Tuesdays, then Thursdays, ''without changing the name.'' Eventually the block went on a "hiatus" in Summer 2011, which was later confirmed to be an outright cancellation.

They were the American broadcaster of ''Series/DoctorWho'' and had gotten a lot of flack for cutting out 4 or 5 minutes from every episode to jam more commercials in. [[Creator/TheBBC BBC America]], which [[http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/05/28/goodbye-sy-fy-doctor-who-on-bbca/ became current home of the series in May 2009]] (after being a repeat broadcaster of the SciFi episodes), does not, or does so to a lesser extent. They now get the same flack from anime fans for doing this to the anime series they air. This was particularly bad with ''{{Gundam 00}}'', as every single episode's [[TheStinger post-credits scene]] was cut, despite several of them being essential for the story to make any sense at all.

* ''GameShow/{{Exit}}''

* ''Series/FaceOff'' (reality series not related to the [[Film/FaceOff film]])

->''"A channel where new sci-fi shows are [[{{Spinoff}} created based on old sci-fi shows]], retreaded and reassembled like [[TakeThat crusty multi-colored play doh that is drying out]]. Also includes new movies where [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant CGI animals]] are [[BMovie sent on a rampage]] after actors with [[DyingLikeAnimals no will to live]] ([[DullSurprise or act]])."''

* ''TheLostRoom''

Sci Fi's original series tend to be {{Cult Classic}}s, and the network has a history of salvaging TooGoodToLast shows from other networks and renewing them. Unfortunately, they also have a history of [[ScrewedByTheNetwork canceling their own cult classic shows prematurely]].

* ''Series/{{Eureka}}''

* ''GameShow/Exit''

Since then the network has expanded to show [[{{Anime}} Japanese animation]] and ProfessionalWrestling (Which caused a heavy fan backlash due to the [[NetworkDecay non Sci Fi nature]] of the Wrestling/{{WWE}}/Wrestling/{{ECW}} show.)

* ''Series/ChaseGameShow''

* SciFiGhetto: Partly the reason for the NetworkDecay.

* ''{{Chase}}''

* ''BionicWoman'' (reimagining)

* ''Continuum''http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Continuum
