View Full Version : Which of these Cable Channels Can you do without and Why?
TVFactFan 05-27-2003, 06:19 PM TV Land
TBS
N@N
ABC Family
I Think I can do without TBS because they are not showing any sitcoms from the 70's. So i can do without TBS.
SBTB Geek 05-27-2003, 06:39 PM I can do without all of them, but if I had to get rid of one it would be TV Land. They aren't airing anything I like... yet. I can't wait for "I Dream of Jeannie," and "Bewitched."
DarleneIllyria 05-27-2003, 06:58 PM [B]TV Land- I barely watch anymore, but I still want it. They might add something good to it and I'll start watching it again.
TBS- Never watch it. None of the shows appeal to me.
N@N- Watch it for Three's Company. Sometimes I'll watch it for All in the Family. I don't make a point of watching AITF anymore. I won't go into all that again.
ABC Family- Nope, don't watch it. None of the shows appeal to me.
Tuesday Weld 05-27-2003, 07:24 PM ABC Family,because I never watch it,anyway.
Czas na Zywiec 05-27-2003, 07:48 PM Hallmark. It's completely dry and dull now and I could really care less if my cable company dropped it.
TBS--because they don't air any show that I enjoy anymore. At one point they did, but they no longer do.
*PinkLady* 05-27-2003, 08:32 PM I don't watch ABC Family.
The only good thing TBS shows is Fresh Prince, and they show it when I'm at school.
There's still hope for N@N, but for now I can live without it.
That leaves TV Land. They haven't done anything to annoy me yet.

I could do without TBS and ABC Family. I never really watch either channel, so I wouldn't mind if they were taken away.

*chokes and dies* I live off that channel. Without Quincy and McMillan and Wife, I'd seriously have nothing.
What shall I drop? Hmm...of the above list, all but TVL. I don't watch it much, but Fantasy Island is coming, and I want to check that out.
Impressions 05-27-2003, 10:29 PM I think I could live without TBS, I rarely watch anything on that station, most of the programs they have on there don't interest me at all.
Sitcomwriter 05-28-2003, 12:08 AM N@N-I've seen every episode of Cheers and The Cosby Show a million times.Nuff' Said!

At least you have something to look forward to on Hallmark. I just don't like most of the programming on there. Sorry to break your heart. :p I'd still watch Hogan's, but at 4 in the morning? Yea, I'm asleep until about nine on Saturdays.
Skywalker 05-28-2003, 02:09 AM TV Land-Don't get TV Land anyway.
TBS-I've seen all of these sitcoms on this station many times.
ABC Family-Not interested in their shows.
Chad22 05-28-2003, 04:20 AM ABC Family. I Like to watch it for Step By Step sometimes but im really not hooked on the channel.
TBS, Nick At Nite and TV Land are all part of my daily viewing though. I Watch Fresh Prince and Family Maters on TBS, TV Land Alot in the Afternoon and Evening, And Nick At Nite from about 2 to 5 AM.
ClassicComedyFan2 05-28-2003, 10:44 AM TBS - With Matlock gone and Saved by the Bell coming to DVD, this station is easily expendable.
(I couldn't do without TV Land and Nick at Nite because of numerous classic shows and I couldn't do without ABC Family because of Toyko Pig and the old Power Rangers)

Eh...I'll live. :) And Saturday mornings...I get up at noon. A little late, don't ya think?
tvfan 2 05-28-2003, 03:55 PM ABC Family- Only two shows I like are Step by step and Wonder Years. I liked it better when it was Fox Family.
Crimson and Clover 05-28-2003, 06:47 PM ABC Family and TBS
LucyFan 05-28-2003, 07:23 PM ABC Family- The majority of their programs doesn't interest me.
Nick At Nite- Same as ABC Family
David 05-30-2003, 08:45 PM TBS- Only Saved By the Bell, Fresh Prince, Family Matters
NICK- Three's Company! That rox!
ABC Family- Step By Step
TVLand- Brady? Happy Days....
I dunno, probably TBS cuz I dont watch it a whole lot, and its too recent
Superbatboy 05-30-2003, 10:38 PM ABC Family
James 05-31-2003, 02:57 PM If ABC Family sticks to their word and dumps State of Grace and The Wonder Years then that network will be unwatchable.
If not for Coach and Perfect Strangers Nick at Nite would be totally useless.
I do not watch TBS at all.
TV Land, who can live without it???

They're not dumping it. It's going on a short hiatus and will come back eventually. TWY went away before and it came right back. It's about time Growing Pains got some airtime. It's been away for a while. And I'm sure that as soon as GP leaves TWY will once again float back to ABC Family.
Let's see...
TNN - Star Trek Next Generation reruns
Sci Fi - Original series, plus MST3K reruns
Comedy Central - Daily Show, South Park, standup comedy...
TLC, History Channel, Discovery - They teach me stuff.
FX - If I don't get my 40 hours of M*A*S*H reruns per week, I get cranky.
;)
Brandon 05-31-2003, 08:42 PM TBS
There good shows are all on different channels also here. Friends, Drew Carey on WB11. Mama's Family and Roseanne on UPN46...

:wave: YOO HOO!! Think you read this one wrong. It says which stations CAN you do without. Sound like you like the ones you listed. I love MASH also, and TLC is great. Love those reality medical shows. Like some of Animal Planet - those vet shows mainly.
In my case, I can do without:
MTV, VHI, Comedy Central, all the shopping networks.
Oops!
I really have to start paying attention.
:blush:
PZelda 06-11-2003, 12:54 AM I could definitely do without ABC Family. UGH!!!!!!! I remember when it was Fox Family and had that orange logo. Sorry the image isn't big enough. I remember they had that logo up until about 1993.

TBS has "Mama's Family", but they should move it to TV Land or something. There's also "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" but that's only on one day a week, so I would die if they took Mama's Family off.
I would DIE without Comedy Central, E! and TLC. Otherwise, yank all the other cable channels for me! :p
