TBS is one of the cleanest networks on cable. What exactly do you consider dirty?

as for Cartoon Network. They aren't going to get rid of Adult Swim anytime soon, considering it's their biggest hit and is what put them on the map. If you want only clean why not watch the Disney Channel?

Friends? you consider FRIENDS to be dirty? It's a pretty squeaky clean sitcom, pretty mild and tame. For goodness sake it aired at 8pm for a lot of it's run on NETWORK TV!

I think a whole LOT of people would consider Friends a racy show. Squeaky clean? I think not! :eek:

Friends airing at 8PM is what caused the family hour to start going away.

Friends may have had sex in it, but I don't consider it "racy" at all.

No. the "family hour" was abandoned when it was declared by the SUPREME COURT as unconstitutional to tell a broadcaster what they can or cannot air on their airwaves.

Also because society as a whole grew and changed and values adjusted. Overall, FRIENDS is not a very racy show comparatively speaking and I can think of a whole lot of shows much more racy that aired much earlier than 8pm.

I really don't think MOST people would consider a sitcom like Friends to be all that "racy" or objective.

SPIKE less of the reality shows and no CSI and more non reality shows for men after all they are suppose to be a network for men
VH1 go back to to airing classic rock videos
USA need to do away with the Law and Order reruns and return to their roots
TBS/TNT need to go back to their roots
Cartton Network get rid of the live action stuff, start showing original Warner And MGM cartoons uncut, and rework Adultswim
HBO and SHOWTIME more movies and less TV shows
IFC, Chiller, and FMC go back to showing commercial free programing and stop showing back to back runs of the same movie
FOX you had good programing in the 80s, 90s, and early 2,000s what's the problem.

I don't see why TBS shouldn't be airing those shows, they don't claim to be a family station. They can air whatever they want. And really, if those shows are "dirty" to you, I don't know how you watch anything on TV.

The Disney Channel, IMO, needs a MAJOR makeover and overhaul. Disney has LOTS of movies/TV shows in their vaults that are overlooked and underused. Bring the Original Mickey Mouse Club (1955/1977), Mousercise, and the Disneyland anthology series back and 86 these teenybopper shows or create a Vintage Disney Channel all together.

I think it depends on what your definition of "dirty" is. I think people have different interpretations of what "dirty" is. I will say that I agree with people who think USA, TBS etc. need a make over but you cant argue with the success they have been having. I think USA and TBS are both doing good numbers.

Sometimes I do wish the stations would go back to the way they were. If Im adding to the list, TV Land and especially MTV.

My choice is WGN America.They have abandoned the classics,removing the last two classics,"Bewitched"and "I Dream of Jeannie",replacing them with (ugh!)paid programming-informercials.,and airing more modern fare.

A&E used to air good dramas, and at one time they were the only one airing British movies and TV dramas. But for the last several years, they've become yet another tiresome channel for reality shows. I don't think we really need endless marathons of Parking Wars, Storage Wars, Gene Simmons' Family Jewels and Duck Dynasty.

AND they cancelled their one actually good show in Breakout Kings. I looked forward to watching it every week. It did not deserve to be cancelled at all. It's probably too good of a show and doesn't mesh well with their other trash.

to be fair though ratings were pretty miniscule for a cable series. Critics also took little notice of it.

You're right. I find it may have been too expensive to produce for such average ratings. But if you actually watch the show, if it was maybe on a more widely-watched cable network like TNT for example this would be talked about as one of the best new dramas. It's just unfortunate is really my point. For example, Rookie Blue is in it's third season on ABC right now and, while I enjoy that show as well, I don't think it's anywhere near as good as Breakout Kings. I know that when it was announced as being cancelled there was a major uproar all over Twitter with fans being very upset.
