Syfy continues its expansion into the reality space with a series order to another unscripted project, Dream Machines. Additionally, the cable network has renewed two reality series: Hollywood Treasure for six episodes and Haunted Collector for 12. All three shows are expected to air during the second quarter of 2012. Dream Machines, which has received a six-episode pickup, follows Florida-based brothers Marc and Shannon Parker, who take fantastical vehicles only seen in movies and TV shows — including The Dark Night’s Bat Pod and Tron‘s Light Cycle — and engineer them into real, drivable machines for celebrities, collectors and themselves. Triage Entertainment is producing, with Steve Kroopnick and Stu Schreiberg executive producing.

The channel formerly known as SciFi continues to go downhill by running programming like this. Where are the good scripted shows? Why is wrestling on the channel? Cooking?
Damn it! I used to be such a big fan of Syfy… Now i ****ing hate it with a passion….
I’ll miss Universe… Have fun with your reality series.
What about Legend Quest?! That one was actually educational and entertaining! Ashely Rules!
I really wanted to like Legend Quest, but they sure make a lot of assumptions about places and symbols. And they really lost me when they were supposedly standing right outside the entrance of Area 51 when there is no way the military would have let them get that close.
That spot is indeed Area 51… that gate is the entry-point. It’s pretty well-known, lots of shows shoot there.
and thus sci fi channel winds up following all the other network channels leaning more and more to another one filled with reality and no more of its core brand before too long. though glad holly wood treasure is back again.
You know how someone always says “Remember when MTV used to play music?” We should probably start applying the same kind of comment to SyFy.
I’m glad they cancelled Eureka for this…
