What is UP with TBS?! - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What happened with Little House on the Prairie? I set the timer for it one day, and all I see is that crappy Dawson's Creek. It made me so friggen mad!!!!!! Here I am ready to watch one of my favorite dramas, and what do I see? A bunch of the most annoying teenagers/early twentysomethings I have ever seen! They've been on for about six years, and they get four episodes everyday? LHOTP was on for 10 years and they only aired it once a day? It would take forever forthem to get through them all, not to mention that they don't even show the episodes in order! Let me cool down........

OK. Now, this "Non-stop Comedy Block" thing makes me so annoyed! For every single show they air, they have to air some kind of promo for the NSCB at least three times through out the show! They aren't even funny shows! You want a nonstop comedy block? Try an hour of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman followed by an hour of Three's Company and an hour of Laverne & Shirley! Those show are funny, the shows on TBS's nonstop comedy block are not, IMO.

This is just my opinions but I like TBS More now.THEY just have to get rid of "Saved by the bell" and or add a short-lived sitcom.

No thanks, I'll pass on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. That show is like watching paint dry on a wall. Instead, they should air these four ABC hits from the late 1970's right in this row: [each show will have an hour's worth of airing] Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Three's Company and Mork and Mindy.

Well what TBS is trying to do is attract a YOUNG/TEEN audience with show they can releate two as good as 70's shows are they don't attract young/teen audicences. The schedule is fine... if u want old shows watch TVLAND, not TBS.

Hey Seinfeld and Home Improvement are pretty funny, but not Friends and Drew Carey. Actually, Drew Carey IS funny sometimes, but the show's so nasty I don't like it. Maybe they should get rid of the latter and add, like, 3rd Rock From the Sun, and, I dunno, maybe Golden Palace? ^_^

Since I grew up in the 90's, I never watched Dawson's Creek. When the finale aired, I watched it, eager to see what it was like. One day, I was flipping channels when I saw it on TBS. I got hooked on it, so now I watch it at 10:00 am (EST) and 11:00 am. I like shows like Dawson's Creek, The Wonder Years, 7th Heaven, etc., since I'm just becomming a young teen, and those shows, for some bizarre reason, attract me. Go figure. (I sure don't act like a young teen do I? I'm just weird. When you have older siblings, you tend to grow up 10x quicker XD).

Well its all a matter of opinon, i personally LOVE "Dawson's Creek", "Friends", "Home Improvement" but hate "Drew Carey" and "Seinfield" the reason these shows are on is because they get high ratings. Thats it it has nothing do with quality it is all ABOUT ratings. TBS is trying to attract a YOUNG audience they don't give a hoot about anyone older than 35. That's why i suggest that if u don't like the shows that TBS has to offer that you watch another network like TVLand or hell, CBS!

Well, I don't have full cable, so I don't get TVLand, unfortunately.
