To me growing up it was Andy Griffith and World Championship Wrestling as well as Atlanta Braves baseball. What about you guys?

Championship wrestling from Georgia with Gordon Solie, watched it almost every week until black Saturday. :mad:

In the 90's it was Gilligan's Island, Three Stooges shorts, rare cult late night movies, frequent airings of the extended versions of Superman III and IV and of course the all time classic The Beastmaster.

To me, my fondest memories of TBS are mostly from the 90s.

Mama's Family, Gilligan's Island, Three's Company, Family Matters, & Saved by the Bell

TBS - Turner's Braves Suck :lol:

My fondest memory of TBS: The 1992 World Series :lol: :wave: :wave:


What I hated about it: The "5 minute rule", which was that no matter what show you wanted to watch, whether it was a classic series like Andy Griffith, Gilligan's Island, or The Brady Bunch, or mindless excrement like Saved By The Bell, WCW Wrestling or Family Matters, TBS shows always started on the "fives". That is, five minutes past the hour and five minutes past the half-hour. This happened for many years and it was especially tough if you wanted to tape your shows on VHS, which was your only option in the 80s and 90s. Here's an example:

TBS schedule - January 11, 1988 (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showpost.php?p=4584306&postcount=1)

I don't why TBS was the only channel that would make their lineups this way but it was very frustrating to watch and to follow and I thought it was just idiotic in general.

For me, it was Braves baseball and Atlanta Hawks hoops (later NBA in general, and not just the Hawks).

Braves baseball and the Andy Griffith Show. I read reading somewhere that Turner was a big Andy Griffith fan.

The 5minute after scheduling and The Brady Bunch at 3:35pm Central weekday afternoons.

My favorite lineup: Summer of 1989:

3:35pm Gilligan's Island
4:05pm The Addams Family
4:35pm Leave It to Beaver
5:05pm Alice
5:35pm Carol Burnett & Friends
6:05pm The Andy Griffith Show
6:35pm Sanford & Son

I don't why TBS was the only channel that would make their lineups this way but it was very frustrating to watch and to follow and I thought it was just idiotic in general.they did that for a reason that still doesn't make sense to me after all these years-they wanted to make sure people would watch them. ( I know-HUH???):confused:

Watching these sitcoms in the afternoon after school in the 80's- Rocky Road, Sanchez Of Bel Air, Safe At Home, Down To Earth.

I actually liked the old :05 and :35 start times. It made the station unique.

Comedies, Cartoons, and Movies.

Cartoons aside...TBS basically kept their station intact unlike other stations.

I agree but I do wish they'd air a few more sitcoms from the 80s/90s.

I mainly remember TBS as the station that aired a lot of MLB baseball games and NBA basketball games. I do seem to recall some wrestling on the channel and I particularly enjoyed back when they used to air some good cartoons- particularly Looney Tunes. I'm thinking they had some Scooby-Doo cartoons for a while too, but I may be getting it mixed up with TNT. Anyway- the other big thing I recall is that they carried Saved By The Bell reruns for the longest time- which is awesome because I love that show.:) :cool:

nothing insert me right now I do some times watch meet the browns I also been watching deal with it and the big bang theory I used to watch home improvement when it was on tbs they show the same show that come on different station friends come on different stations pluse friends also comes on nick at nite too so does every one loves Raymond I don't like Seinfeld I got tired of king of queens I seen mostly all of them

colorized movies and stretch-o-vision

with newer and original shows, nothing in B&W on there anymore

Mr. Cleveland, are you talking about now or then about TBS? I do remember later on "There movies for guys who like movies" and Dinner and a movie or something like that that had Annabelle Gurwich and somebody else.

More then than now...

I wish I could get all the "Dinner and a Movie" recipes, I have a couple on tape but It'd be awesome to have all of them.

And for cartoons...I do remember watching Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Garfield and Friends. For obvious reasons...T&J and LT cartoons were edited, I didn't like that but then again...those cartoons weren't for kids back then!

neither were the Flintstones

I remember when TBS showed everything 5 mins off....... (12:05 a show would start instead of 12) Not sure why they did that but it was sure strange!

TV Guide gave them their own listing

Saturdays 6:05 world championship Wrestling.

TBS would air horror movies on Saturday afternoon and evenings. They also aired Little House on the Prairie and tons of sitcoms and cartoons.
