I pose this question because on youtube and on this board, I have read that people miss the old TNN. Now living in Connecticut, I wasnt a big country music fan, so I didnt watch it except for Dallas, WWE Wrestling and ECW on TNN. I do remember Extreme Championship Wrestling on TNN, Roller Jam etc.
Then when ECW left TNN, the WWF, now WWE, came on TNN. Then they had there whole relaunch, with them becoming the National Network. They would show Newhart, Taxi, The Waltons and then after much controversary with Spike Lee, they became Spike TV.

Now I ask what shows/promos, etc. do you miss from the old TNN? What shows would you want to see on there again?

I used to watch The Dukes of Hazzard and The Real McCoys on TNN.

The Dukes of Hazzard!

From what I gathered from Wikipedia, so take it for what its worth, what about shows like:


Nashville Now
I-40 Paradise
Fandango
Hee Haw

One other show that I used to watch occasionally on the old TNN was Crook and Chase. I believe it replaced Nashville Now when that show left the air. Crook and Chase was a talk/variety show hosted by Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase. Nashville Now was a similar type of program hosted by Ralph Emery.

irember watchig the wonder years on tnn i watched it every day i got lucky taped couple on i on telvesion ig ot few espideosi wish they would put it on dvdi read that the music coast too much so they wont put it on dvd..

the reruns of hee haw nashville now and fandango

I miss "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes," and its later version "Super Bloopers and New Practical Jokes." Dick and Ed really made those shows worthwhile.

I used to watch WWF Raw Is War and Star Trek: TNG, DS9, and Voyager. I also loved the afternoon block of Diff'rent Strokes and Three's Company. I miss the old days, lol.

Fandango, Crook & Chase, Ralph Emery and later, Matt Houston reruns. Stuff I could watch with my grandparents and not be embarrassed. :lol:

I agree! I also miss The Real McCoys.
Didn't they also air Mama's Family?

I think they did air Mamas Family. Also, TNN was big on Motor sports. Im not a fan of racing or Nascar but I know TNN used to show racing a lot.

MadTV reruns. What I don't miss is that stupid black bar that ruined the aspect ratio of the programs.

Reruns of the Statler Brothers and Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters that brought back a lot of memories. Also some tv movies like the Dallas reunion movies.

My grandparents were a big fan of the Statler Brother shows, especially the Christmas ones. I would watch it on Saturday nights with them. We also liked Yesteryear, I think that's what it's called, where they would sing songs from a certain year and you had to guess it.

the statler brothers show was good esp when they would do harold;s big book of stuff

I give credit to the old TNN. I got the channel here in Connecticut which is pretty impressive on a channel based in Nashville. A channel called "The Nashville Network", Im surprised we got it here in CT. You would think "The Nashville Network" would just be based in Tennessee and the surrounding areas.

I really miss Crook And Chase

I missed when they used to air shows such as Alice, Diff'rent Strokes, Three's Company, The A-Team as well as their own original game shows such as Fandango and especially Top Card w/ Jim Caldwell & Blake Pickett and later w/ Dan Miller and Paige Brown.

The Waltons and occasionally Alice. Why did the network get sold to those criminals at Viacom? As the saying goes, if it ain't broke...

for THE TNN Time Line see it wiki

oh yea, and Wikapedia is always 100% accurate.:rolleyes: :)

THE REAL McCOYS

I never really watched TNN at all except when they had Monday Night RAW,but that was after it was rebranded to the national network,but anyway...

I never watched all the country shows they had,but after my dad passed awau he had 2500 plus vhs tapes,so goin thru those there was a lot of Crook & Chase shows,The Statler Brothers Show, Nasville Now with Ralph Emery and the life & times documentary show with country star bios like bio networkhas...Watchig those old shows they wernt so bad so i kept them all,most are from late 80s into the 90s

Also the show Yesteryear where they would highlight a certain year and give clues by singing songs and telling of vents from that year and by the end of the show say what year it was. I think it started as a segment on the Statler Brothers show before getting its own show....have a lot of the shows in mentioned on vhs

The Grand Ol' Opry. Couldn't stand Ralph Emery.

Walrus is Paul, I used to watch Monday Night Raw on TNN and before that ECW on TNN. I used to see during ECW on TNN commericals for Rockin' Bowl and Roller Derby.

Daily dose of Starsky & Hutch, w/ no crappy bottom black bar or TNN logo.

The Grand Ol' Opry. Couldn't stand Ralph Emery.i like ralph but he is somewhat overrated

I loved watching Alice reruns on TNN, as well as the Friday night ECW show. I was actually at an episode of "ECW on TNN", facing the hard camera, and I could stare at myself the whole hour...lol. Good memories.

I loved watching Starsky and Hutch on TNN. Great show...and I even loved the commercials they aired for S&H. :)
