(Entertainment Weekly) -- Entertainment Weekly's daily guide to notable shows:

9-11 PM
BLOODSUCKERS (Sci Fi Channel, TV-14-DLSV) The year is 2210, and the galaxy is overrun with Nosferatus. A vampire-sanitation crew led by "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman's" Joe Lando and Jake Gyllenhaal-lite Dominic Zamprogna hunts the titular "fangheads," while a cult of sympathizers schemes against them. It's a movie about the virtues of loyalty, recklessness, and tantric vampire sex. And despite the use of "We're in their blind spot" as a reason for why our heroes' spaceship goes undetected, dialogue like "You can kiss my assertiveness," and brief appearances by two DeLuise brothers, it's a slicker-than-usual Sci Fi original. Credit Lando's conviction and Michael Ironside's cameo as a bloodsucker with half a brain. We like a cheesy cast. We love it when the Velveeta can actually act. -- Mandi Bierly
