What do you think is the best cable network? I chose ABC Family.

TVLand, though I do watch Nick-At-Nite to see The Cosby Show.

SOAPnet because

1. they don't butcher the shows they air(Dallas, Knots Landing, etc)

and

2. they take pride in the shows they air, give them great promos, and put them on at great times.

My second choice would be Hallmark

Althought Im not a fan of Soaps at all.... they do treat their shows with respect.
Nothing really gets the crap treatment on SOAPnet.
Now only if they had "SITCOMnet"

So true, they do take pride in their shows, they are all about soaps, and aren't afraid to show it ;)

That's a dream channel SITCOMnet :D

TBS is the best.

That is very tough because more than one network airs the shows that are essential to my very being. I like TV Land the best though if I had to pick, only for Cheers and Family Ties though. TBS comes next for Mama's Family and then N@N is third.

ABC Family :barf:

The only thing I watch on there is Family Matters. Between the Full House/Olsen Twins lovefest and the treatment of other shows(forcing commerical breaks in where they aren't supposed to be), they suck.

ABC Family has the most awkward commercial breaks of any channel I know of. I also hate the Full House/Olsen Twin lovefest.

Full House gets bad editing, too.

I definitely agree with you. They don't cut anything (except the 'Previously on...'s on Dynasty and Dallas), everything has a decent time slot, the cancelled daytime soaps they air haven't aired anywhere else in years, and the primetime soaps aren't that common in reruns anymore. Their marathons are also great. :D

From the list, though, I'd choose TV Land. Although they're not as good as they were two or three years ago (IMO), most of their shows are great.

Exactly, but it airs too much. Look at the amount of times other shows air, AT MOST twice a day on Weekdays(which I think is perfect for a show)

Id say ABC Family's favorite shows are:

Full House
So Little Time/Two of a Kind
7th Heaven

On second thought, why the heck did I choose ABC Family. Anyway you could change your vote?

I don't think you can change your vote.

Yep they're not afraid to air classic "soaps", they take pride in the classics. I am just waiting for a Soapnet Classics channel :D

I voted for TV Land, that is the cable net that I watch the most often. I love old TV shows.
