The…."SyFy Channel"….has been reaping the consequences of its 20 year period of mismanaging this channel (1999 - 2019) with low ratings across the board that can't be reversed.
Self sabotage of the..."SyFy Channel"...by Bonnie Hammer and her parent employer (Comcast / NBC / Vivendi - Universal) for the 20 year period listed above can't be undone by Seth MacFarlane throwing programming ideas at this channel. Hell, if Jules Verne, Ray Bradbury, and Harlan Ellison were alive today, they collectively couldn't save the...."SyFy Channel"....from low ratings with new programming ideas.
Permanent, low ratings damage like this can't be undone by anyone with a new programming idea here or there for the…."SyFy Channel"....
1. The…."SyFy Channel's"....name change from…."Sci-Fi"....to…."SyFy"....in 2009.
2. The…."SyFy Channel's"....incomprehensible ad campaign from 2009....
3. The…."SyFy Channel's"....continued inability to lock in a discernible on-air identity after 20 years of failing to do so.
4. The…."SyFy Channel's"....condescending attitude towards...."Science Fiction Fans".... and the entire...."Science Fiction Genre"....in the decade of the 2000s with crap programming like low budget horror movies (Ice Spiders) and spiritual hacks (John Edward.)
5. The…."SyFy Channel's"....partnership with low budget schlockmeister...."Asylum Films"....that produced the bulk of the…."SyFy Channel's"....low budget, crap horror movies and also produced the...."Walking Dead"....rip-off series...."Z Nation."
6. Television series starring Shannon Doherty (??) and Wil Wheaton (??)
a. Scare Tactics
b. The Wil Wheaton Project
7. The…."SyFy Channel"....series that encouraged everyone to drink irresponsibly and get plastered....
8. "SyFy" - The only television network to produce a genuinely unsuccessful superhero program in the midst of those very types of programming doing extremely well in the present commercial climate....
9. The…."SyFy Channel"....announcing publicly in the 2000s and 2010s that it wanted to get away from…."Science Fiction Based Television Programming"....
10. The…."SyFy Channel"....trashing the...."Battlestar Galactica"....brand name (and rendering the brand name incapable of making money) with Ronald D. Moore's...."GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only)….series. The..."SyFy Channel"...was paid back for this misdeed with low ratings across the board.
11. The...."SyFy Channel's"....love of turning box office flop movies into low rated television series....
a. 12 Monkeys
b. Helix - The Thing
c. Blood Drive - Grindhouse
d. Leprechaun
12. The...."SyFy Channel's....inexplicable love of...."Sharknado"....because a few hundred teenagers were raving about the first film on…."Twitter??"….And this encouraged the...."SyFy Channel"....to make three more??
13. The..."Banana Splits"...characters as ax murderers??
14. Why were these former celebrities in low budget, SyFy Channel horror movies?? Were we supposed to give a shit??
1. Barry Williams
2. Danny Bonaduce
3. Olivia Newton - John
15. The…."SyFy Channel's"....only inspiration for new television series are comic book graphic novels. Why?? Wasn't the first half dozen ratings flops (in a row) enough??
16. Rush binging all episodes of…."Nightflyers".....first (only) season in a week?? Could this be why the ratings for all broadcasts were so low? No one had time to catch their breath or even be aware it was on the air at all. No second season. What a surprise!! (Sarcasm)
Set MacFarlane is supposed to magically undo all of this self inflicted damage the...."SyFy Channel"....did to itself spanning decades with a few of his programming ideas??
It ain't gonna happen!!
The...."SyFy Channel's"....ratings will remain low even with Seth MacFarlane's input.
Science Fiction fans and viewers in general abandoned this channel decades ago and won't be coming back even with Seth MacFarlane on board. These viewers (in the millions) won't even be aware of him coming on board.

Read about the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com, as well as other stuff...
And read the books at another location where Universal Studios and its stealth marketers won't be able to post negative, misleading (stealth marketed) reviews of the books via them purchasing candy and Rogaine Foam on Amazon.com (allowing them access to the book review section) and not actually buying and reading the books.
