I'd say Game show network ? Is it true that they pretty much just play recent game shows? Every time when I'm switching around the channels I see only new game shows, which I'm not a fan of. I'd LOVE to see some old retro game shows, than maybe I would like it!

Spanish channels ( for me, but my hubby watches them sometimes because he is Hispanic) ! I do like Sabato' Gigante' Don Francisco's show, it's a Spanish Variety type show that has been on Saturday nights forever! It's going off the air soon! Sad, cause it has been on so long! But other than that, when he is watching Spanish TV it's like please put something in English on!!! LOL!!!

Science channel - not Sci Fi channel, it's different! They ALWAYS seem to be showing a VERY BORING show called "How it's made"!!!

For the game show network, they do show some classics. In my neck of the woods, they show the old Match Game at 8:00 and 8:30A.M. Then, at 9:00A.M., they show the old Card Sharks. And finally, they show the original, Press Your Luck. The catch is it depends where you live. Different areas, may show different programming ;) ;)

You guys need to find BUZZR. That's where the old game shows have gone-

I like watching the the old black-and-white episodes of WHAT'S MY LINE , TO TELL THE TRUTH, and I'VE GOT A SECRET on Buzzr, along with TATTLETALES and the old Richard Dawson episodes of FAMILY FEUD . Oh yea, also the old episodes of LET'S MAKE A DEAL with Monty Hall.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?????? :eek: I want this channel, but I don't think my cable provider carries it?:( I think I would know by now! Those shows are exactly the type of game shows I'd like to see! ;)

Buzzr!! I will look into this, but I don't want to get my hopes up! Like I said before, I think I would know by now if I had this channel! :confused:

BLASPHEMY!


I Know!!!! Besides the oldies channels Antenna and METV ,Investigative Discovery is the channel I watch mostly! ;)


It's weird , I go from watching totally hokey and wholesome TV like Mr. Ed, Green Acres ,Leave it to Beaver to watching ID TV that features shows such as Wives with knives, These deadly women, Evil Kin!!! :eek:

I don't know if this is to any value for you, but I'm pretty sure you can buy these classic game shows on DVD. Like Richard Dawson's family feud, for example. My uncle has the dvds for it. He also has match game. The price is right(black and white).
So I just wanted to say that there are dvds of classic game shows, you just have to look hard enough.

to further wet your appetite with the black-and-white shows sometimes they show some of the original commercials.

Buzzr has a website with a way to see if you have it.

Well, looks like I don't get it, because it's not available in Pittsburgh.

BUZZR isn't available in Cleveland either.

That's also a name that I would have for an album Not Available in Cleveland!

BUZZR will come to Cleveland when Cleveland wins a Championship!

PS-The useless stations for me are TLC (AKA-The Reality Channel), MTV (AKA-NMTV, No Music television), and The Disney Channel (AKA-The "Disney" Channel since the only remote thing that IS Disney is the new Mickey Mouse Shorts)!

I wished I did have buzzr. But my uncle had dvds of classic game shows, so I guess that'll have to do !

There's YouTube for me right now...I may tape some of the game shows that are on there real soon.

Actually youtube is a great tool right now for the classic game shows. I just checked Buzzr website and its not in my area.:mad: :mad:

I will say that the Buzzr website is nicely done.

Ion. They just play super long marathons of the same old crime dramas and in between just show paid programming. It's the one of the most useless channels.

I like the first 2 posts, except TV Land is a go-to channel in the evening (for Raymond) when nothing else is on, plus add WGN and TBS to the list of worthless (they've become that), for me.

Fox "News," definitely (also Newsmax and The Blaze, which are similar)!

CMT (Even though I no longer get that)

TV Land (It's good for when there's nothing on)

It’d be easier to list the channels that aren’t worthless.

I can make a list for that.

All Viacom channels which include Nick, TV Land, Logo, MTV, VH1, BET, CMT, and anything else of the like.

Also Antenna TV, GetTV, Bounce, Escape, Laff, and Grit because they all crunch credits.

Oh and also ION and MyNetwork. They serves absolutely no purpose.

What about Investigation Discovery (or ID)?

It’d be easier to list the channels that aren’t worthless.

I agree.And for me the list of channels that are not worthless would be very small.

For me, ION, because I'm mostly a sitcom-loving person.

Fake News CNN---the most worthless channel in the history of television.

Fake News CNN---the most worthless channel in the history of television.

And I feel much the same way about FOX "News"!

Channels I would not miss at all
FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, and any other 24 hour news channel. I avoid news as much as possible, too much negative stories and partisan politics.
QVC and any shopping channel
Bounce- I would gladly trade my affiliate for something good like Me-TV, Cozi, Heroes and Icons, etc.
HGTV
A&E
Lifetime networks- I used to like Lifetime when it aired Frasier but has been awhile now.
Disney stations
the multitude of sports channels

I live in China as an American and come home about once a year for about a month and try to watch the cable system (ATT) my parents have. Mostly my elderly father watches all day is FOX News which is annoying but it’s his house, his rules.

To me there are many useless channels. More than I can put on here. There are literally about 300-400 channels and I might be interested in one or two. I never know what is on. I am so disappointed in network TV I go looking for an old rerun and have to wade through countless channels of nothing. Then sometimes I like something, click it and find out it isn’t a part of the “TV package”. Ok.

Frankly, there is only literally two sitcoms I watch now, Young Sheldon and Mom. That’s it. Anything I want to watch I can watch on YouTube or other websites that have movies and these websites I use overseas to watch Young Sheldon and Mom. When I am in America, I do what I do in China. Use the websites I use to watch my content. I also use YouTube to watch my college football. I have no need for ATT. None at all. If and when I live back in the USA, I will just get Wifi. I’m not paying a $100 bucks a month for this crap. If my 87 year old father was more computer savvy he could watch all the Fox News he wants (and he watches it for morning to bed).

Cable is dead and gone to me. Why do I want to watch commercials? I don’t need to. Neither do you and most people on this forum don’t. It is a fitting end to these criminal telecommunication companies. We’re not paying for this crap. If you want Netflix, great. This is the future, pay for a service and watch your shows without commercials.

It would be easier to say which channels I like:
CBS
TCM
Fox news
History if Pawn Stars and American Pickers are still on
MeTV

The only cable channels worth anything are ESPN and TCM. And even TCM isn't worth it because it just got moved to a more expensive package.

Sundance

AMC

Game Show Network

AMC

WE

Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite

MTV

VH1

A&E

Oxygen

TLC

TV Land

BET

Univision

E!

WGN America

The only cable channels worth anything are ESPN and TCM. And even TCM isn't worth it because it just got moved to a more expensive package.

That’s why I dropped cable years ago. Besides sports TCM is the only channel that hasn’t went down the toilet. I just have a massive DVD collection and watch that more often than not. I also watch a few OTA channels like MeTV and Get TV and Decades. I remember years ago (well decades ago now) when cable had some really good channels on.

Most cable channels have declined since they began.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NetworkDecay

Here are my useless channels
Game Show Network(Not that many game shows are airing on the network at the moment, At least Buzzr tries to add more game shows to the lineup)

MTV & MTV2(Nowadays, both of these network airs little to no music videos to their networks(MTV stands for Music Television))

Nickelodeon & Nick@Nite(A lack of shows airing on both networks(Majority of Nick's schedule is either SpongeBob, The Loud House, or a couple of terrible live-action sitcoms)

Feels like NickToons is about to go down the same path.

Disney Channel(Lacks any Animated shows on the network, most of those animated shows are airing on Disney XD)

WGN America(The network is nothing comparing to its local counterpart in recent years)

VH1(Airs a lot of terrible reality shows, no longer airing music shows)

BET(No longer provides any music shows such as Rap City, 106 & Park, & BET.com Countdown. TYLER PERRY IS RUINING BET FOR ME!!!)

Fuse(No longer airing music videos, just airing movies and sitcoms)

FXX(Why did this channel exists, All they air most of the time is Movies, & The Simpsons)

VICE -- past programing was the worst (weediquette ...) - new format of reruns may save it (just who is the programming manager ? - some freshmen in college ?)

OWN what we need a channel dedicated to that narcissistic bitch
CNN CNBC and MSNBC nothing but leftwing propaganda
VICE
The Olympic Channel
All the half a dozen or so ESPN channels
Discovery
TLC
GAT
CMT
SY FY
All the football baseball and basketball channels both pro and college
BET
All the MTV channels
FUSE
Outside channel
TBS nothing but sitcoms silly game shows and edited movies
NBCSPORTS

Were we better off in some respects when we only had four channels (the big three plus PBS)?
What is an ideal number of networks?

Oh God, sooooo many. That’s why I don’t even bother with cable.
