The Facts of Life Wednesday marathons are no more, it's been relegated to 2AM Friday nights. Add this to removing Mork & Mindy, The Wonder Years, Happy Days, Family Ties, Doogie Howser M.D., and Sabrina the Teenage Witch from primetime, this is a channel that went downhill way too fast. :rolleyes:

The Hub never claimed to be or planned to be a classic TV network. I've thought (and probably said) all along that they used the older shows in primetime to appeal to/bait parents over to the channel that might like the "retro" shows they aired and notice the kids stuff and get their kids watching. Those parents could have kids in the target age for the channel. Never expected them to last, this is no surprise at all. They really didn't fit.

Happy Days and The Brady Bunch are also on INSP.

They air Batman The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and Jackie Chan as well. These shows were all part of the late '90s/early '00s WB afternoon lineup. I don't watch this block, but it's great that this generation can discover these shows after school, just like I did over a decade ago.

The HUB's evening lineup is AWFUL. :confused:

It moved Family Ties to late night too, and I don't even know if they still show it!! The only classic show they air on a regular and consistent basis is ALF. I liked ALF, but I'm not crazy about it. It also got rid of The Wonder Years and moved all their other classic TV shows to late late late night. I know The Hub never claimed to be a classic TV network, but why add those shows in the first place if you were just going to move them to 2am?????

Well, if all my shows came on the same network (or two!), I wouldn't have to hop around so much!! Back in the day, I'd be glued to Nick at Nite, or TBS, or my local WPIX for hours at a time. So many good shows were paired together.

Today? You have to LOOK AND LOOK for your favorite "old" shows. I will admit that cable channels have gotten better these last two or three years. TV Land and Nick at Nite have basically fallen off my radar. But with so many shows airing for the first time in years, I'll say cable has definitely improved.

I might get criticized here but I think there are way too many kids networks as it is. I mean if The Hub started there primetime lineup at 8pm with Happy Days or Facts of Life or ALF etc. and ran it until 11 or midnight, that would be good. I think The Hub can spare 3 or 4 hrs. a night when they constantly run kids programming all day.
