Scifi to revisit the Classics in Feb. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Flash72 · 01-17-2003, 03:47 PM

Beginning Feb 17th, from 10am to 3pm, central, each weekday,
the Scifi Channel will showcase episodes of classic scifi series, some of which have not aired on the network in quite some time.

Feb 17th- 21, Every episode of the original Battlestar Galactica will air, and "Return of Starbuck" of Galactica 1980.

Feb 24th- Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Feb 25th- Kolchak: Night Stalker
Feb 26th- Amazing Stories
Feb 27th- Twilight Zone
Feb 28th- Sliders

I am uncertain as to whether or not these mini marathons will continue into March, let us hope so.

I might watch these, especially 'Night Stalker'. It's cool that Sci Fi is airing some of their older classic shows.

That's definitely cool news. Hopefully they air more classics in March and so on. If they stopped after Feb, it would be cool to see them bring back those blocks for the summer.

Hopefully they continue with them. In all honesty, I'd rather watch Lost in Space, Star Trek, etc. but it's cool of them to do this. There really should be a Sci Fi Classics network, lol.

Thanks for the info Flash.

When do you suppose those will be announced?

Nanny Fine · 02-01-2003, 02:26 AM

I swear I need about 8 TV/VCR's to be able to tape everything I want to tape throughout the day on all the channels I want to tape on.

This schedule just makes it worse (in a good way of course).

Wow. Jenny will freak when she sees that ANOTHER marathon of Star Trek will be on in March.

I may just have to record both; hopefully they air different episodes each time.

That's great! I forgot all about watching "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" on TRIO in December, so I'm gonna make sure I have a timer ready. And now that I think of it, late February-early March is when we get off for Mardi Gras holidays, so I'll be taping some episodes. Then for Good Friday and Easter. Will this continue into April? I hope! I've always wanted to see "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century!" On and since when is "Sliders" a classic? Here are some other classics I think they should show:

"Dark Shadows"
"The New Adventures of Wonder Woman"
"The Bionic Woman"
"Dark Shadows 91"
"The Incredible Hulk"
The Six Million Dollar Man"
"Lost in Space"

I just wish there were more classic shows in the genre.

I'd love to see the Hulk again. I'd love to see a Night Gallery marathon.

I agree; I wouldn't mind seeing all of those aired again; even if it is just for a marathon.

TJL · 02-02-2003, 04:31 PM

Galactica 1980?

Well, alright. As long as they show the "Return Of Starbuck" episode.

Nanny Fine · 02-24-2003, 05:38 PM

Pav do you know when they air the same shows later in March if they are reruns of the first 5 they show or if they will be new episodes?
