^You're definitely not the only one who dislikes the name. I've yet to see someone who likes it.

I have yet to see anyone who does like the new name. I refuse to use it. Even when I speak the name, I'm thinking of the spelling 'Sci-Fi.'

Not to mention that term OMG is now being used in news articles Or at least internet wise. Paper news has yet to be struck...I think.

Plus, it's not like they're shortening the name like they did with Headline News (another that I'm ticked off about)

Is there a problem with Trivial Pursuit?

And yes, no one I know likes SyFy either.

Yes Jerry, there is a problem. Your brain will grown massive and one day explode with all the trivial knowledge and wisdom you have obtained from the board game.

Why the change? Seriously. If it's to make it look cool, it's not working.

And then you'll finally be rid of me....isn't that a win for you.

Why change? Marketing told them to do it, therefore they did it.

I suck at Trivia. Although, I do have a Friends Scene-It. Go me.

Back from Californiaaaa. A little sunburned, but at least I'm not a ghost.

Marketing may have told them to change it, but it still looks stupid.

I'm decent at trivia, but not great.

Jerry, please, I haven't finished building the nuclear missile that could beam massive rays from where I am to your state. Surely you can wait a little longer.

Well, what about the old saying: If marketers told you to jump off the cliff for the sake of better catering to audiences, would you actually jump?

I'm going to watch the final round of the women's gymnastics championships while I'm in Dallas in a couple of weeks. What a combination: a comic convention and gymnastics.

Ordered two shirts from the Stylin Online website. One of them X-Files and the other of Green Arrow and Black Canary. They didn't have any JLA shirts I was really interested in so GA was the next best thing.
