These networks are at the moment, pretty much the main general (meaning not meant to fulfill a particuarly, exact niche) entertainment (i.e. syndicated reruns of network programming, original series, live sporting events, and big screen movies) channels on basic cable.

definitely ABCFamily. on that station I watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Ruby & the Rockits. I don't watch any of the originals on the other networks listed.

Out of all those, I'd pick TBS.

Of those, I still watch ABC Family the most, mainly in daytime, so I gotta go with that.

It was kind of tough for me as I watch 10 Things and Ruby on ABC Family, Leverage and Hawthorne on TNT, and Royal Pains and In Plain Sight on USA. In the end, I picked USA for some reason.

It's hard for me to pick. On ABC Family I watch The Secret Life and Lincoln Heights. On TNT I watch Saving Grace, The Closer and Hawthorne. On TBS I watch My Boys and the Bill Engvall Show. On USA I watch Burn Notice, In Plain Sight and Royal Pains.

Exactly, that's why I picked TBS/TNT as well. If you were forced to watch the networks above, I would believe anybody could enjoy mixing TBS and TNT. So many sitcoms on TBS all day and then primetime you can watch all the new episodes of the TNT dramas. Those channels are just programmed the best with nothing repeating their airings 2 hrs later or the next day. Just non stop quality programming with many different shows.

I watch ABC Family mostly. They were fantastic when they were Fox Family, then kinda went a little downhill during the early ABC Family days, but now they're pretty good again. They have some good, escapist original series, of which I love "Greek" and "10 Things I Hate About You" the most.

How could you not love the early ABC Family days. They would air Growing Pains, Step by Step, and Wonder Years - shows that didn't air on any other networks at the time (pretty sure).
