WHAT’S CONSIDERED CUTTING EDGE ON DEMAND: PART I

Syfy

On Demand Weekly's contributing writer Jon Shurkin looks into the popular Cutting Edge On Demand folder in a multi-part series. Let us know what your favorite Cutting Edge series @ mailbag@ondemandweekly.com.

PART I
Science Fiction and TV have not had the best of relationships. The original Star Trek was cancelled after three seasons and Joss Whedon’s latest shows were banished to Friday Nights and quickly cancelled.  Sure, there was the “X-Files” and somewhere in the midst of polar bears and magical Lighthouses there’s “Lost” but that’s about it. 
 
Right now there isn’t much in the way of Sci-Fi on TV but there is a place on Comcast VOD where you can go and find some of the best. That would be in the Cutting Edge folder on the Comcast VOD menu where you can find both SyFy’s “Caprica” and the great Japanese cartoon “Ghost in the Shell.”
 

It’s in the “Cutting Edge/SyFy” folder where you can find TV’s best, non-Smoke Monster related science fiction show, “Caprica.” “Caprica” is the “prequel” to maybe the best sci-fi show ever put on TV, “Battlestar Galactica” and takes place 58 years “before the fall”-- when those glowing eyed androids and their long-legged blonde partners wiped out the Twelve Colonies.

WHAT’S CONSIDERED CUTTING EDGE ON DEMAND: PART 3
On Demand Weekly's contributing writer Jon Shurkin concludes his three part series on what Cutting Edge On Demand has to offer to viewers. Let us know what your favorite Cutting Edge series @ mailbag@ondemandweekly.com.
 
PART 3
 
One of the more surprising trends that have taken over Cable TV is the prevalence of paranormal TV shows. Since Ghost Hunters started up and promised everyone the possibility of just possibly seeing something scary, every basic cable channel has on any number of shows about things that go boom, bam, crash, and kablooie at night. Even Animal Planet has a spook show. 
 
If even basic cable isn’t even enough paranormal bang for your buck, check out Comcast On Demand’s CUTTING EDGE folder as it’s a place people can go to get their fill of ghosts and any other type of thingy Scully & Mulder chased around.
