Default Has Heroes and Icons gone downhill?

Besides METV another channel that has gone downhill and also needs improvement is Heroes And Icons and I cannot understand how it manages to survive. When I have seen Heroes And Icons I've noticed that they seem to put shows in long blocks every weekday like Numbers JAG Monk Martial Law and Nash Bridges and also House and I seem to think that these show blocks are successful for Heroes And Icons. But they should add shows like Airwolf The A-Team Quantum Leap and Hunter rather than having blocks of different shows every day and that would improve Heroes And Icons very much. A second thing i've noticed about Heroes And Icons is their huge Star Trek obsession and they have a huge block of some of the Star Trek franchise every night and they should show one episode of Star Trek and then another three episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation and then show Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Star Trek Voyager in midnight blocks on the weekends. I have never seen a channel besides BBC America so obsessed with Star Trek as Heroes And Icons is. And some shows such as 21 Jumpstreet and Murder She Wrote would be a great fit rather than Star Trek on H&I's lineup

H&I should improve a bit at some point so it can focus more dramas(of any type) from the 20th Century.

they don't have rights to Airwolf The A-Team Quantum Leap

A team airs on CozITV and cozitv may still have rights to Quantum Leap

I agree; I'm a HUGE treky (my favorite series are Next Gen. and Voy.) but to show all the live action treks 6 nights a week occupying the entire prim-time schedule is a bit too much.

And I also wish they'd bring back the animated one.

I watch the original Star Trek most days. Nothing else. I love Star Trek so I like that they show it 6 days a week in order.
