So I went to watch Scream today, and it was gone! I don't mean they made it a pay channel now [it was on free preview since October] but they removed it completely. I punch in the numbers [1-2-7] but nothing happens, its gone. I am so bummed. Apparently, it has something to do with CRTC regulations regarding digital channels. Whatever, Shaw should just do what it needs to do to get this channel in their lineup, it is by far the best channel they [don't] offer. Man, they play some really cool old movies [you know, the old B&W ones like the Mummy and the Raven and shit], newer horror movies [Halloween et al], some foreign stuff [Italian giallo, some weird Brazilian and Spanish shit] and a few thrillers [52 Pick-up, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3]. Although they focus on movies [as they should], they also show some TV series like Millenium [which ain't half bad] and they were going to start running an old Karloff series called Thriller, which I've never seen but it looked pretty cool.

This channel is everything Space should have been, but wasn't. I was so excited about Space when it first came out, but 90% of the stuff they show is crap, mostly TV series, when what I was really interested in were the movies. Then they got ahold of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and things went downhill fast. Buffy, Buffy, Buffy that's all they ever showed! I'm sure its a fine show, but too much is too much, and I pretty well gave up on that channel.

Anyway, I hope Shaw finds a way to get Scream back, it so totally rules its not even funny. [yes, I have no life, got a problem with that?]
