The SciFi Channel at very short notice has pulled Tremors: The Series and Cleopatra 2525 from their schedule. Starting tonight, replacing both shows will be repeats of Stargate SG-1 episodes from the last half of Season Six. Scare Tactics will remain in the 10 pm ET/PT slot. Tremors is currently scheduled to return to the Friday night lineup on June 20th at 8 pm ET/PT.

With Tremors leaving the schedule, including the Wednesday repeat, Roar is now moved up to 8 pm ET/PT on Wednesdays, followed by a movie.

So, for those needing to catch any of the second half of season 6 of Stargate SG-1, get your recording devices fired up since SciFi will be running two episodes each Friday night in order leading up to the debut of season Seven. The 8 pm episode is shown only once while the 9 pm episode also repeats at 11 pm (following Scare Tactics). Dead Zone continues at 7 pm.

Here's the updated schedule info for Stargate SG-1 and Roar:

Wow, SciFi is becomeing the "all SG-1 all the time" channel. I love SG-1 BUT, 4 episodes on Mon (not counting repeats after 10pm, then Tues, Wed & Thurs at 1 am and now 3 times on Fri. And I still can't find the season 5 episodes I missed!!!

Wasn't Roar originally on one of the big three (CBS?) and bombed big time??

Roar was originally on Fox I believe. My wife and I sort of liked the show. I'm glad Sci-Fi is showing the last few episodes that never aired.

Wonder why it Tremors and Cleopatra were pulled all of a sudden. Not like the content of the show was all of a sudden found to be different than what was thought???

Not sure but there may be a contractual problem with Sci-Fi airing season 5 episodes. IIRC that is the season currently airing in syndication on broadcast channels. Here in the LA area we get two airings - one on KTTV on Saturday and one on KCOP on Sunday. Duopolies rock! :D
