The Best Cable channels so far this year is defintely BET, they have shown Thea, a show I thought I would never see and then added Diffrent Strokes to their schedule along with the marathon of Sanford.

The 2nd Best is N@N, the channel still tends to overplay shows like Roseanne and Fresh Prince but they have really emerged this year with George Lopez on the schedule and now will be even better once Family comes in June


The Worst Cable channel so far is TV land, nothing new, same ole reality crap each month while all the classics are pushed to the overnight night time period. This network has shown that it clearly is not interested in sitcoms anymore

2nd Worst Cable Channel is VH1 with the god awful flavor of love and pointless dating shows and Celebrity sickness clubs. Vh1 is TV land's 2nd cousin-lol



What are you top 2 and worst 2 cable channels so far in 2008??

I really don't have a Best, but if I have to pick one, I'll have to go with Lifetime only because it airs two shows that I actually like.

For the worst I'll have to go with Nick@Nite, it just totally sucks, they air the same shows over and over. TVland is just as bad, but it has a slight edge over Nick@Nite.

I am, but I don't watch it every night, But that's the only show that I will watch on Nick@Nite. I've seen every episode of Home Improvement Fresh Prince, which they air to death. They need to add more shows to their lineup

VH1 is just such a pointless network. Who in their right mind wants to see all these has-beens and never-beens find "love"? Ewwww.


Although I have to admit to watching Celebrity Rehab.

Best 2:

BET: They've shown they can listen to fans and add forgotten shows to the lineup which deserve to be aired.

TBS: They are always up there and continue to bring us great programming.

Since the last time you asked the question abt which channel is the best/worst...YES. It hasn't changed for the better that's for sure.

2006 was actually a good year for TV Land when they added Benson and had the Labor Day marathon of the Jeffersons

But you asked the question in 2007 abt which channel was the best/worst. I am merely stating that nothing has changed since you last asked. ;)

Add 1999 to that as well, those were the days I tell ya,when they actually had classic Television shows on. And before they had edited episodes
