Stargate Atlantis / Stargate SG-1 / Doctor Who - SciFi Friday Line Up June 20 '08

Well, another "new" series bites the proverbial dust on the SciFi Channel. The '05 South African/Canadian production, "Charlie Jade," apparently tanked on SciFi Friday and is no longer on the SciFi Friday line up (replaced this week with LAST week's Doctor Who episode). "Charlie Jade" has been banished to 3am Monday morning beginning June 23 '08.

The SciFi Channel's SciFi Friday line up for June 20 '08:

5:00P STARGATE ATLANTIS THE GIFT



6:00P STARGATE SG-1 SPACE RACE



7:00P STARGATE SG-1 CAMELOT



8:00P DOCTOR WHO - SEASON 4 THE UNICORN AND THE WASP
