Syfy Channel bringing back random old shows

I was checking the Syfy schedule a few days ago, and found out that they're bringing back some shows they aired on the channel years ago.

Starting tomorrow, they're doing a Quantum Leap marathon from 11:30am until 4:55am Saturday.

They've also got Xena: Warrior Princess, Battlestar Galactica (2004), and the Face Off reality show from 2011 airing in coming weeks.

I find this very....strange since the channel's basically been a dumping ground for movies for a while now, save for a couple of originals that have come and go, and reruns of The Twilight Zone and Futurama (which is now off-network).

Syfy has been showing a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with Scifi.

SyFy can **** it self, hard in the ass, ever since they cancelled Stargate (even though SG:U was a bit of a dumpster fire) for the disgrace that was (WW)ECW.

Didn't that happen more than a decade ago?

Stargate Universe had a neat atmosphere and huge potential in the future with them seeing what's beyond the edge of the universe. I'm still very angry how they did that show and then buried the SG1 final movie and Atlantis movie. They could've stopped after that.

Yeah back in 2011.

Actually I think it was because Smackdown moved to SyFy, ECW was a few years earlier.

I'm still hot about it!

Not to derail this thread, but I'm hoping now that Amazon own MGM we can get new SG content via Prime.

I haven't cared about the Scyfy channel since they cancelled Farscape.

Looks like this was an intentional thing, and not just them bringing back old stuff for no reason. I found a press release about how they're doing a Syfy Rewind block every Friday of different old shows:
