TV: Week of July 6

Category: TV, Upcomingvelveetahead @ 6:35 pm

Sci Fi is changing its name to Scyfy this week. They want to make sure their brand name doesn’t get confused with the generic “science fiction” genre term. You think they would have done this  along time ago when they first came up with the name. Now they have to deal with a really stupid spelling of it.

Season Finales: Reno 911!, Harper’s Island, Eli Stone
