Kurt Bond<p>My wife is surprised that I enjoy the TV series <cite>Tremors</cite>; she
categorizes it as Redneck SF. It <em>is</em> set in a rural area, and one of
the characters <em>is</em> an ex-racecar driver, but I don't think that is
enough to qualify it as Redneck SF. In any case, I enjoy <cite>Tremors</cite>.
Like <cite>The Chronicle</cite>, another TV series that I liked, it doesn't take
itself too seriously. And, since it doesn't take itself too seriously,
it is easy to take on its own terms, which seem to those of <em>GURPS
Atomic Horror</em>, subtitled: “Science Runs Amok in B-Movie
Adventures!”.</p>
<p>As for the Sci Fi channel in general, I wish it had more actual
Science Fiction in its line-up than horror and repulsive “reality”
shows.</p>
