ABC/NBC/CBS: You Decide!!

[Mary Covey]

Which do you think is better, ABC, NBC, or CBS?
I personally think CBS is the best. This is because some of my first TV shows were on CBS (I was born in '89) like Murphy Brown, Major Dad, Designing Women, and other ones I can't think of now. I also like ABC because they had some of my first shows there too, like Coach (born the same day it premiered) and Roseanne.

NBC all the way!

The last time I watched ABC religiously was when Full House was on. And I'd try to catch TGIF once and a while. (At the end I found myself only watching Boy Meets World.) The only good show left on ABC is Millionaire(which is overplayed) and Norm. On CBS, I watch Some of My Best Friends(funny show) and I watched Cosby and Work With Me--before, surprisingly...they CANNED THEM! Today, NBC lacks good shows but in the past, they had better shows(in my opinion anyway). Since I don't watch much on those channels today, because a lot of shows today aren't good... I'd have to go with their past performances. And that's why I picked NBC. Just in case anyone wanted to know why I picked NBC, there you go! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/cool.gif

My personal favorite is ABC. I really think they make quality shows, its just it didn't get to be big until the late 60s, and by then CBS and NBC were established networks, so therefore, it lacks viewers because of that. Then, of course, NBC has good shows too. I have this grudge w/ CBS. (don't ask why, I just think CBS is evil. haha)

[factsoflife]

Actually, i don't think any of them are the best.. the best network is The WB.. Felicity, Dawson's Creek and Popular... are the best shows.. ABc is ok.. i watch the Geena Davis show every week and Dharma and greg.. NBC used to be ok in the 80's, because they had great shows like, Facts of life, 227 and the golden Girls. CBS was ok, in fact cbs aired some of my faveortie shows, like Desinging women and Murphy Brown., and the nanny and Knots landing.. but they lost all my respect when they treated Cybill and Dr. Quinn Medicien Women so bad... And FOX was ok., with shows like Melrose place, party of five, 90210 and god help us, even Models inc.,... but now they have no good shows on... they need a good primetime soap on their network, hopefully Aaron Spelling will come through with another FOX drama series...that is more like a 90210 or Melrose place, than dark angle or x-files.

I have to vote for FOX. Every show I watch religiously is on Fox... However back when I was growing up in the 80s I'd have to go with NBC, when it had Family Ties, ALF, Hogan Family, Silver Spoons, Punky Brewster, etc.

[cp]

CBS, if it was still the 70s and 80s.

[IGNTBone]

NBC all the way! (Seinfeld, ALF, Sanford and Son, Chico and the Man, Silver Spoons Diff'rent Strokes, Facts Of Life, Punky Brewster, Golden Girls...the list goes on!)

[Devastation26]

Based on the run of the TV shows, I have diferent favcorites.

70's - CBS

80's - NBC

90's - *Tie* First Half of Decade-ABC, Last Half of Decade - FOX/

Who will be the winner in this decade. We'll all find out in 9 years.

[FOL-FAN]

NBC all the way! That's it if we were in the 80'

[coily2]

70's: CBS
80's: NBC
90's: NBC/ABC tie

It looks like CBS is good again, but I remember how craptacular they were in the 80's, and haven't tuned them in since (with the exception of the Price is Right).

[TJ]

70's ABC - with the likes of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and more

80's - NBC with Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, Family Ties, and more - my favorite decade

90's NBC - although I can't say I have any favorites from the 90's except for Seinfeld

[JohnMcMillin]

I would have to say NBC. I grew up watching that network (Diffrent Strokes, FOL, Family Ties, Cosby Show, Gimme A Break, Silver Spoons, 227, Alf, Hogan Family, A Different World, etc) and still watch shows like Friends and Will & Grace on that network. I do think pay-cable has come a long way tho. My absolute favorite current sitcom is SEX AND THE CITY, which is on HBO. And I also love Queer As Folk on Showtime.

[Meg07945]

It all depends on which day of the week.
Sundays- FOX <~ I'll watch from 8-10..but I only watch the X-files when I'm not loaded w/ hw..not very often!
Mondays- WB <~ I've been watching the Gilmore Girls repeats..otherwise I don't really watch tv on mondays
Tuesdays- FOX <~ only from like 8-9
Wednesdays- FOX <~usually hold my attention from 8-10
Thursdays- WB <~c'mon Gilmore Girls and Charmed!
Fridays- never see tv on fridays
Saturdays- CBS<~ That's Life is a very good show..I always have to tape it though

Overall, FOX is probably the network of the year for 2000-01...

Looks like everbody's got diff opinions on all of them except one thing! NBC is the King of TV in the 80's!

[Will and Grace Fanatic]

Currently NBC is my favorite network because they have all the shows I love. I watch NBC's primtime usually five days a week. I use to like ABC but all there shows have gone down hill.

But here are my favorite networks in order:
NBC
FOX
The WB
ABC
CBS
UPN

The reason I love NBC so much is because of these shows Friends, Will and Grace, ER, and Scrubs. and many more shows.

[Sean Snow]

Erm My favorite is ABC (I dunno if I've responded to this before, but if I have I know I didn't give an explanation). They have had great shows since the 50s..."The Donna Reed Show", "That Girl", "Dark Shadows", "Three's Company", "Happy Days", "Laverne & Shirley", "Perfect Strangers", "Step by Step", "Norm", "My Wife & Kids", "According to Jim", "Charlie's Angels", "Hart to Hart", "Starsky & Hutch", "Welcome Back, Kotter", "Taxi", and many others.

[Jordan]

Definitely NBC because nearly every single one of my favorite sitcoms originated from that station! "Veronica's Closet," "Will & Grace," "Suddenly Susan," "Boston Common," "Caroline in the City..." :happyface :happyface :happyface

[Drew]

NBC is my favorite, but I also watch alot of shows on CBS. I watch shows on all six networks and then some.
But NBC and WB are my favs. CBS is good, as i went through a check list of the shows I watch that will be on next year CBS has the most right now. Early this year it was NBC and for awhile the WB. But even though I watch more shows on CBS right now, NBC is my fav and has shows I actually try to watch every week, same with the WB.

[Central Perk]

NBC Is My Favorite. I really don't watch ABC anymore and I only watch CBS to see Everybody Loves Raymond.
