SW TV Show Channel?

Post by Techno_Union »

What channel or type of channel would be the best or most likely to pick up the new SW show?

And forgive me, but I am not knowledgeable about foreign channels, so which channels would it be on in places like Canada or England. Assuming they are broadcasted there of course.

Here, I would say the Sc-fi channel, but that's just because I doubt any of the mainstream channels would pick it up.

If it's on a channel I don't have, someone will be hurting.

HBO, I've always wanted to see Han Solo tell some one to 'Fuck off'.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

And we could get a better look at Leia's exploits in Jabba's Palace with that gold bikini. :D

Here I think it would be channel 9, at midnight.

Yah, I'd say Fox as well. I just don't see channels like NBC or CBS airing a Sci-Fi show. Either Fox or UPN.

Spike TV, perhaps? They love action movies, and have DS9 and TNG. SW the TV show would be even better.

UPN :D

Nah just joking. I would like to see the show on HBO. That would ensure internional viewers get to see it. HBO has worldwide coverage.

I'd guess sky one over here. That or sci-fi.

Then the BBC might get it about a year later. Channel 4 might give it a go if not. I wouldn't count on either though.

Simply due to basic logical deduction, I'd have to say Fox.

Channel 4 will definitely get it, indeed. The Beeb are teh suck. But, it'll not get to Channel 4 until Sky have had it for a good few months.

Syndicated, between 1 and 5 am, depending on whether or not the steak juice squeezer infomercial runs long.

Seriously, I'm guessing FOX would be the most likely, although I wouldn't be suprised if one of the major networks is willing to take a risk with it

We don't get HBO in this country either, often shos like that are just sold to local TV.

HBO is awesome ! It is the best movie channel I have seen. They also show great original shows like Carnivale, Band of Brothers, Sext and the City etc.
