The Amazing Screw-On Head & SCI FI Pulse

For those of you who missed the premiere of the new SCI FI show, Eureka, you can watch the entire two-hour pilot episode online at SCIFI.com’s new SCI FI Pulse component.

And while you’re there, be sure to check out another pilot SCI FI is offering online: The Amazing Screw-On Head, which is based on the comic by Hellboy-creator Mike Mignola. As much as I liked Eureka, I think this one’s even better and more fun, and probably has more potential. But the thing is, Screw-On Head doesn’t premiere on SCI FI until July 27, so this SCI FI Pulse availablity is kind of a test run for the show. Go watch it, then take the brief survey afterward, letting SCI FI know what you think. The survey results will be used to help determine whether or not to greenlight the show as a series.

But even if you don’t have any interest in watching it, I say go there and vote for the show positively, because even if it’s not your thing, letting SCI FI know that you want intelligent, well-written shows like this one (rather than rehashes of Mansquito) is a good thing. If we keep telling them that, maybe they’ll start listening. It seems that they’re already on the right track as of late, first with Battlestar Galactica, and now with Eureka and Screw-On Head (not to mention that the forthcoming Dresden Files looks promising as well), so let’s do what we can to convince them that there is an audience for a more sophisticated SF show on their network.
