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. Said anime was aired under a programming block called ''Ani-Monday'' which was hailed with much fanfare when it premiered in the summer of 2007 but quietly ended (after a few scheduling hops to Tuesdays then Thursdays abandoning the "Ani-Monday" moniker with no replacement title) during the summer of 2012.

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}} CW]] show.)

* {{Anime}}: The channel aired Japanese animation beginning in The90s, 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.

Sci Fi produced original films vary greatly in quality, from fan favourites like the ''Firestarter'' films and adaptations of lesser known comic books like ''PainkillerJane'' to the more [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_movie#C_movie C grade]] {{disaster movie}}s and AttackOfTheKillerWhatever movies. The label funds many film developments - directors and producers go to Sci Fi for funding for SpeculativeFiction works where they would have trouble gaining network attention. Sci Fi movies are made with a budget of only 1 or 2 million dollars making their development surprisingly profitable. Unsurprisingly, these movies are very divisive.

* ''PainkillerJane''

* ''Series/TheOuterLimits'' (remake, although they reran the original for a while)

* MarathonRunning: Back in its early days, the channel would air movie marathons, with ''Godzilla'' movies, Creator/RayHarryhausen movies, and Fantasy-themed and Horror-themed movies being a few examples.

* BiteTheWaxTadpole: the reason why the Polish channel will not be renamed--nobody wants to watch a channel called "syphilis."
