SciFi Channel Screws Up

The SciFi Channel has passed up the new Doctor Who series that will be premiering on BBC in a few weeks. Reports say that the the executives found the show "lacking." Probably lacking in women and sex which the SciFi Channel uses shamelessly to get nerds to turn in every week. Also, the Doctor Who series has way too much science fiction for it to be shown on the SciFi Channel. (Plus the fact that there would be little chance for a Doctor Who Atlantis.)

People are still pretty optimistic that someone in the U.S. will eventually pick up the new series for broadcast in the States, but sadly they will be disappointed in the end.

I haven't heard anything about a new Dr. Who in USA! Who will be the Dr.? Will Paul McGann return?
Will BBC America show the new Dr. Who? We should probably be glad that it isn't the "sci-fi" channel- as it is rarely sci-fi-- and then the cybermen would have to be women who look like humans and men would have to be wary of the mechanized sirens.... ok, if you don't know the premise of the new Battlestar Galatica that probably didn't make sense.
