View Full Version : Your Own TV Network - What would it be like?
ryan423 03-30-2008, 12:54 AM If you had your own TV network, what would it be like? What would you call it? What kind of programming would it be and why? What would your schedule and primetime line-up include?
For my network, I wouLd call it RG-TV (Real Good TV). It would include a variety of programming from news to family comedies, classic television and a primetime line-up full of variety. I would introduce great family sitcoms like those of the 90's like Roseanne, The Fresh Prince, Blossom, etc. and would also have great dramas like the short-lived studio 60 on the sunset strip! My schedule would be something like this;
6-9am - News
9am - 12am - Talk Shows
12-2pm - Children/Teen Programming
1-4pm - Dramas like 7th Heaven, Everwood and Summerland...
5-8pm - Great Syndicated comedies (Friends, Raymond, King of Queens, George Lopez, Reba, Two and a half men, etc.)
8-10pm - Primetime TV (NO REALITY GARBAGE)
10PM - 6am - Something similiar to Nick @ Nite including classic sitcoms like All in the Family and The Jeffersons as well as family sitcoms like boy meets world, full house, family matters, etc.
What would you Television network be like?

Not like ION. Not like TVLAND. Not like any of those stupid networks that have changed their formats. :snob:

James28 04-08-2008, 01:49 AM If I had my own television network, it would be named JBC and my schedule will consist of 15-20 animated sitcom and drama shows spread from Sunday through Friday, with movies on Saturday. I won't be showing any "classic" programming on my network, but I will be showing a 2-hour block in the afternoons. Pee-wee's Playhouse would be one of the shows on this block.
oz615 04-08-2008, 07:12 PM can't think of a catch name but it's pretty much like old school USA Network on Steriods (a mix of movies,off-network series,kids and teens programing,sports,and news that isn't fear mongering,sensationalized and biased
PlayOn 04-08-2008, 07:48 PM mine would be old shows. i may pick up a few originals but not go over board like these crazy "classic TV" networks are doing. A few things I would pick up: The Carol Burnett Show, All in the Family, The Facts if Life along with a few old cartoons and more old sitcoms, variety and game shows.
BTW, my network name would be B-TV (because my name is Brandon)

littlebelle 04-09-2008, 06:35 PM It would be called "S-TV" (scripted TV, no reality... ever!). It would have all of the great classics. Sitcoms and dramas... a little sci-fi. A lot shows that Nick @ Nite used to have back in '99-'01.
Over the years, I've come up with several. It's nearly impossible for me to just make a lineup of shows I like, or shows I think ought to be on TV. There's just wayyy too many and not enough time in the day. I like to make lineups based on things like era, genre, production, etc. I'll post some of the Monday-Friday lineups from a couple of the little networks I've created whenever I've had too much time on my hands...
Spelling TV - All Aaron Spelling, all the time. Everything from his classic crime dramas, to his long-running serials, his family dramas, and the star-studded fare...everything!
Monday-Friday
6am: "The Love Boat" (last night's episode)
7am: "Charlie's Angels" (last night's episode)

60s Sitcoms - Just what the name says...all of the beloved, long-running classic sitcoms that define the 1960s. Weekends would include rotating blocks of many short-lived series (when one show ends its run, another begins).

ABC SOAPnet - A permanent home for the over 40 years of daytime drama that's been broadcast through ABC. It would include same-day repeats of the current soaps, as well as regularly airing classic episodes of them. Cancelled soaps would dominate the daytime lineup.
Monday-Friday
6am: "Dark Shadows" (yesterday's 3pm episode)
6:30: "Dark Shadows" (yesterday's 3:30 episode)

5am: "The Edge of Night" (today's 2pm episode)
5:30: "The Edge of Night" (today's 2:30 episode)
^^^^^^^The thing with this one is that ABC has the rights to air all of that except for "Dark Shadows" and "The Edge of Night," so they could very much make this happen, but nope. It'd never see the light of day, and I don't understand why.
littlebelle 04-10-2008, 01:10 AM Aaron Spelling= best show producer alive. Shaped the face of television. Who else agrees?
bencasey 04-13-2008, 12:18 AM Aaron Spelling= best show producer alive. Shaped the face of television. Who else agrees?
More like the worst. Other than Family, every other show he ever produced was a piece of **** and geared to morons. Since the majority of this country is made up of morons, he was very successful.

In that case, consider me a moron, proud and true!

Guess I'm a huge moron considering my favorite shows are 90210, Charmed, Melrose Place and 7th Heaven. Aaron had amazing ideas and I really don't see how anyone could argue about that.

I agree. The man had at least one TV show on the air for nearly 40 years (1968-1989, 1990-2007), including time AFTER his death! His legacy lives on and will live on forever, and that's why there should be a cable network dedicated to him, his shows, and TV movies.

What :confused:! No Charmed or Summerland :eek:
Other than that, a great line up! And i agree, Aaron Spelling did the best TV shows ever!
Elizabeth Eden 04-13-2008, 08:33 AM Wow, some of these line ups... you guys need to rename your stations to 'Why Get Off The Couch?' TV. :lol: Because I'd never leave the house!

I tried to put "Charmed" on there somewhere, but I really couldn't find a place for it to fit well. "Summerland" would be something ideal for weekends, like Saturday mornings.

I guess you could go out and buy the entire series of Charmed... a lot of money but totally worth it!
Heather987 04-14-2008, 01:58 AM My network would be:
No show would be shown more then once a day unless its a special airing. It would not be the same show everyday. It would be a weekly schedule that would allow for several shows to be shown.
I would prob do a line up for Mon-Fri of sitcoms to vary each day, Sat. cartoons, sitcoms and night time soaps (Dallas, Knots, Dynasty, 90210, Melrose etc), and Sunday have a made for TV movie played (prob 70-80's movie).
Maybe have specials from time to time like a whole weekend dedicated to:
only shows produced by Spelling entertainment
Lost Pilots
sitcoms with Oscar winners
tribute weekends to sitcom stars when they die or who have passed away.
I would prob do 4 hour blocks of each generation of TV Mon-Fri with a different show from each generation each day (but would stay the same from week to week)
for example:
Mon. 6PM - The Donna Reed Show
Tues. 6PM - The Pattie Duke Show
Wed. 6PM - Father Knows Best
etc
IMO that is the only way that I know to fit all the programs I would love to see again without overdoing the airings and people can see every generation of TV.
bencasey 04-14-2008, 10:37 PM I agree. The man had at least one TV show on the air for nearly 40 years (1968-1989, 1990-2007), including time AFTER his death! His legacy lives on and will live on forever, and that's why there should be a cable network dedicated to him, his shows, and TV movies.
McDonalds sells more food than any other restaurant. That doesn't make it good. It just means it's popular. Popular crap is still crap.

This is true but Aaron Spelling does not make crap shows. He is actually talented and put a lot of effort and hard work into his shows. You know how hard it is to be a television producer? You pretty much take all responsibility for the show. Something goes wrong and it's your head in the slammer.

Well, that's you opinion, and you're entitled to it. I disagree. Case closed.

You know how hard it is to be a television producer? You pretty much take all responsibility for the show. Something goes wrong and it's your head in the slammer.
you know Aaron Spelling took a lot of grief in his day for the shows he produced, none of which could ever be considered "quality" shows, but the thing is even though his shows were mostly cheesy soap operas he was very talented at what he did. He had a knack for knowing exactly what the American public wanted to watch and for making those shows enjoyable to watch. His shows were also very well produced. he paid attention to every detail from lighting to sets and everything in between. He was a very talented producer. He also knew how to make stars---he launched the careers of sooooo many people from Heather Locklear to Farrah Fawcett to Hillary Swank to Keri Russell and everyone in-between.
It's fair to say his shows aren't the type to win Emmy's or be critically acclaimed, but to say the man had no talent is silly frankly. This man produced more hours of TV than any other person in HISTORY. that is something.
You're Cancelled 04-21-2008, 06:16 PM The days of these cable networks are fading away. The Hulu model is better... uncut shows, a variety of series not depended on ratings and a library from numerous sources. Cable nets now have to depend on original programming. As time goes on, and reruns are less valuable and more accessible, the nets will be more original branded programming.

I concur completley. If it weren't for Spelling and "90210" there would have never been a WB network or CW network and shows like Buffy, Dawson's Creek, 7th Heaven and so on would never have been made. 90210 and Aaron Spelling literally created the teen drama mold and proved that an audience exsisted for shows targeted at and marketed towards teenagers. It hadn't been done before that an hour drama had a cast of teenage characters and the show aimed towards a teen audience. Sure other shows had teen characters but were almost always from the parents or grown up point of view.
catlover79 04-26-2008, 01:06 AM My dream network would air nothing but retro sitcoms and dramas. My TV network would be all classic sitcoms during the day. The 1950s shows would be first (Lucy, Beaver, Donna Reed, etc.), then the 1960s shows (Bewitched, Green Acres, Jeannie, Gilligan, etc.), and the 1970s shows (Barney Miller, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, WKRP, Taxi, Brady Bunch, etc.).
In the evening/primetime slots I would air classic dramas. We'd have Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons, Family, Eight Is Enough, Hawaii Five-0, Charlie's Angels, CHiPS, etc. To cap off the night, we'd run the classic Twilight Zone last.
Here's the real selling point of my network:
NO CRAPPY REALITY SHOWS --- EVER!!!!

I'm still in the process of putting my own network together. This is one of my favourite exercises on this site and I always look forward to getting it just right. Naturally, it would be full of nothing but classic sitcoms from the 50s and 60s---with NO Aaron Spelling shows whatsoever, unless you count his one appearance on "I Love Lucy", which was the height of his TV career. It was all downhill from there, which brings me to an idea that I have. This is something that you might want to apply to your own network and works best if you just want to have a Nick At Nite style lineup (8 pm to 1 am) or you want to have shows that ran for a long time, like about 200 episodes or more. This can be used for any series from any era.
I call this system "Jump The Shark TV". In the prime time hours, you would take a series and run the early episodes, the ones where the series was most popular with viewers and had the best episodes. Then, after 11 pm or midnight, you would run the same series, only in its later years, beginning with the one episode where you believe the show jumped the shark, which would be at a different point for different people. I'll give you an example of what I mean:
8:00 PM Happy Days (Ron Howard seasons)
8:30 Laverne & Shirley (Milwaukee seasons)
9:00 Beverly Hillbillies (Black and White seasons)
9:30 Andy Griffith (Black and White seasons)
10:00 Bewitched (Dick York seasons)
10:30 Three's Company (Chrissy and the Ropers)
11:00 Happy Days (post-Ron Howard years)
11:30 Laverne & Shirley (Hollywood seasons)
12:00 AM Beverly Hillbillies (Colour seasons)
12:30 Andy Griffith (Colour seasons)
1:00 Bewitched (Dick Sargent seasons)
1:30 Three's Company (Cindy, Terri, and Furley)
Let me know what you think of my idea while I work on my real schedule which I'll try and have in place by the end of the week.

The schedule would be shifted around a few times a month to give ample airing time to shows that air either only on the weekends or real early in the morning.
bencasey 05-04-2008, 11:30 AM I concur completley. If it weren't for Spelling and "90210" there would have never been a WB network or CW network and shows like Buffy, Dawson's Creek, 7th Heaven and so on would never have been made. 90210 and Aaron Spelling literally created the teen drama mold and proved that an audience exsisted for shows targeted at and marketed towards teenagers. It hadn't been done before that an hour drama had a cast of teenage characters and the show aimed towards a teen audience. Sure other shows had teen characters but were almost always from the parents or grown up point of view.
And the world in general and television in particular would have been a much better place. You've proven my point - Aaron Spelling was the greatest evil in TV history! Look at all of the garbage he's responsible for.

With the worst piece of garbage being his own daughter! :lol:
Eh, everybody's entitled to their own opinion. I don't care if you guys like Spelling or not.
repeatshistory 05-04-2008, 07:33 PM And the world in general and television in particular would have been a much better place. You've proven my point - Aaron Spelling was the greatest evil in TV history! Look at all of the garbage he's responsible for.
Aaron Spelling is as responsible for Dawson's Creek as much as Norman Lear is responsible for Full House! In other words, not really at all.
Three more of the schedules I've made over the years...

bencasey 05-05-2008, 11:28 AM Why would all of you people have on your "dream schedules" tons of shows that we already have all or most of the episodes on DVD? If you have the whole run of Sanford and Son, for instance, complete on DVD, why would you care if anyone ever airs it again? Why wouldn't you want instead, I don't know, pick any obscure show, Hot L Baltimore or The Dumplings, something you will never see again in a million years otherwise. Just curious. My dream schedule doesn't include shows that I can pull off my shelf and watch any time I like, day or night. Why do yours?
icecream 05-05-2008, 12:41 PM Some of us can't afford to buy everything we like on DVD.
Why would all of you people have on your "dream schedules" tons of shows that we already have all or most of the episodes on DVD? If you have the whole run of Sanford and Son, for instance, complete on DVD, why would you care if anyone ever airs it again? Why wouldn't you want instead, I don't know, pick any obscure show, Hot L Baltimore or The Dumplings, something you will never see again in a million years otherwise. Just curious. My dream schedule doesn't include shows that I can pull off my shelf and watch any time I like, day or night. Why do yours?
Because it's your dream schedule and that means it contains the shows that you like, whether you've seen them many times before or you haven't seen them in a long time. So if you want to fill it with a bunch of obscure stuff, go right ahead and show me. It might give me some ideas that I can fit into my own schedule. Speaking of which, my schedule is finally ready. So here it is. I might want to change it later, but for now I'll leave it the way it is.

bencasey 05-20-2008, 11:05 AM Harsh! What a waste of such quality shows :(
By quality I guess you mean teen sex, bad writing and acting, attractive women in skimpy outfits.

Aaron spent time and dedication into each of his pieces of work. He's iconic because he was genius about marketing shows to certain audiences. He also was never afraid to try anything new, i.e. 90210. He worked hard, came from bottom to top and changed the face of TV. A handful of actors owe him big thanks for making them famous.

OUTSTANDING! A great mix of shows that haven't been shoved down your throat for years. This is definitely the kind of channel that I would enjoy watching.

Exactly. That would be the idea. Although most of the know-nothings on here would rather put shows on that have aired a million times already.

Dude, the insults really, really need to stop. You have different tastes and opinions from others, and that's it, so I do not see why you feel the need to call people names because of it. Nobody's disrespected you or your opinion at all. Sure, we've disagreed with it, but there's nothing wrong with a mature disagreement. It's when people resort to name-calling that it gets to be a problem.
And the thing is, personally, I'd *love* to see most of the shows on your schedule, and I'd love for all of them to be somewhere on TV, but when I make my own schedules, I tend to think about the shows I've seen and that have brought constant entertainment to me. So, naturally, I think of the shows I've watched in reruns for most of my little life. I'm not extremely familiar with a lot of the shows from the 1950s and 1960s simply because I haven't had the chance to be familiar with them. I'd love to see them and know them and love them like I would any other classic TV show, but how can I if I've never seen them and there isn't a whole lot of information about them online? Of course, the blame should go to TV networks that are afraid of taking risks by airing these long-running but forgotten shows, but at the same time, when the name of the game is ratings, and the networks are desperate to have high ratings, it should be no surprise that they constantly grab the shows that have done well for them in the recent past. It sucks, and I wish it was different, but that's the way it is, unfortunately.
Dr. Jazz 05-21-2008, 12:11 PM Exactly. That would be the idea. Although most of the know-nothings on here would rather put shows on that have aired a million times already.
Those are GREAT schedules, but where's "The People's Choice" and "A Date with the Angels"? Those shows would fit right in with your schedules :cool:

well put! :clap
at the end of the day, this is not some popularity contest- it is about personal taste. yes feel free to contribute your ideas, but people shouldn't go round criticising or bashing others for their choices. this thread is about YOUR very own TV schedule and plus i also agree, what is the point making informed decisions on shows you've never seen before or have never heard of?

And what about "The Bob Cummings Show" and "The Loretta Young Show," too? Those are two rarely-seen 1950s shows that I've actually seen a couple of episodes of and absolutely loved.

Thank you. Something as simple as dream television schedules really shouldn't provoke arguments and name-calling.

I haven't seen The Bob Cummings' Show/Love that Bob in years but Letter to Loretta/The Loretta Young Show is on 15 times a week.

ah, don't mention it :) . we should all be civil about it because all this arguing is getting in the way of what is a really interesting thread that we are discussing on here

I remember watching Bob Cummings years ago on Nostalgia - in those reruns it was titled "Love That Bob" but I've seen it as both in syndication. Nostalgia is also where I used to catch Date with the Angels with Betty White every Saturday. Another great show of that era that comes to mind is "Meet Millie" with Elena Verdugo & Florence Halop.
Zoneboy 05-21-2008, 03:36 PM Nostalgia is also where I used to catch Date with the Angels with Betty White every Saturday.
I haven't seen that one but Life with Elizabeth is on several times each week.
I haven't seen The Bob Cummings' Show/Love that Bob in years but Letter to Loretta/The Loretta Young Show is on 15 times a week.
Really? On what channel and at what times? I'm almost 100% sure I don't have the channel, but I'm still glad to see that the show is on somewhere. Between Loretta and "The Millionaire," I don't know which one was my favorite 50s anthology series.

Ah, I see. And how available are those channels?
Zoneboy 05-21-2008, 07:51 PM Both are available through Sky Angel's IPTV service, Blue Highways is also carried by a few other providers.
Blue Highways (http://www.bluehighwaystv.com/pgwhere.cfm)
I just downloaded the TVU player so now I can watch it online plus other channels.

Oh. Well, given that most people in the country don't have those channels (or never heard of them...I never heard of BlueHighways until now), I don't think it'd necessarily be accurate to say that Loretta isn't rarely-seen.

It is a combination of the way independent channels used to be run in the 70's... ....OF COURSE THIS IS ALL FICTION, but with all the recent DVD releases I am working towards actually being able to create this schedule in my home and pop them in the player and enjoy the way TV should be!
