A list of how N@N has managed to spoil their image - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BlairW_2 · 08-27-2001, 03:13 PM

Okay, I decided to write this list which has the ways in which N@N has spoiled the image they used to have. Here it is:

1. It may be 100% Un-reality, but it isn't 100% Sitcoms. Cartoons aren't sitcoms, and Pinky and the Brain has found its way to N@N.

2. It is also now longer a CLASSIC sitcom channel. The Brother's Garcia also has the little blue N@N logo on the screen during the show, and the shows only one year old and still shooting new episodes.

3. They have proven to be real idiots..wasting money on buying a show and not showing it??

4. By not being able to keep promises. At first they said FOL would be back at the end of August - it wasn't. Then September: it wasn't. And now the END of September. Let's see if that promise holds..(I think the reunion will be shown before they put FOL Back on!!)

5. How could they abuse a show like FOL by not showing it and dissapointing tons of fans??

Well thats all I have now. Feel free to add onto the list!

They were idiotic to skip those so-called "controversial eps" of FOL when they were airing it. We all know that they've been showing controversial eps of other sitcoms.

The whole "controversial" thing kills me. They have been showing eps of other shows that they would consider to be controversial if it were in FOL. But if it were in DS or any other show Its Just Fine. No offense to DS fans...
Like that ep of DS when it showed Arnold's butt. It was shown at like anywhere from 9-10PM but it just seems to be "different" when it comes to Facts.

And what's up with them buying FOL for like 2-4yrs and not even showing it. You now it was making them money! Thats just plain stupid. What company would SPEND money on a show and not show it...especially when lotsa peeps were watching it. Its not like the ratings were plumiting.

N@N obviously needs to get new peeps to run it! Like...US.
Think about that. Us running N@N. Justice would be served!

1. The Unrealathons. Instead of returning to a regular line up, these marathons will continue to air until "Fox" takes over N@N. The eps. are from July's unrelathons. Will you be tuning in? I doubt it.

2. N@N assumes the viewers are total morons. They post upcoming epsisode numbers and descriptions on THEIR Website and then tell viewers that the info. was nothing but a rumor.

3. Timing. Is it too much to ask for shows to start near the hour or half hour and finish likewise? This is basic programming to me, there's no sports or movies to throw the schedule off. Just ease off the greed and cut a commmercial per show to get the shows back on schedule.

4. Air the controversial epsisodes late at night when kiddies are asleep. Also, stop trying to justify NICK TALK which deals about adult topics during the evening.

These are my peeves. It's OK if you think I'm too harsh and unfair to N@N, but the network has made many bad decisions (FOL treatment to name one).

ThomasE · 08-28-2001, 08:26 AM

I'm telling you guys, The Facts of Life will be back. We just have to wait. Besides, I knew these marathons and the new shows would delay the run of the show.

Although I agree with you, let's try not to forget the good things that Nick at Nite has done.

The good things? Yes, they did do good things, but it was clear none of the good things lasted. Right now they are doing more bad things and upsetting things to us than they did the good anyways..

I agree that they've spoiled their image, at least among us FOL diehards. I know that FOL will be back if we just wait, but it's too late for N@N. I don't think I'll ever appreciate the network like I did before.

vienna waits · 08-28-2001, 04:29 PM

yea like the person said about has anyone else noticed how they start shows at such wierd times. like here FOL came on at 8:30 but some days it would be like 8:33 or 8:28. anyone know why?

I think it is because of N@N's carelessness for its shows..

You can add replacing I Love Lucy to your list. Come on it is I Love Lucy how Classic can you get. They are no longer a classic network. I like Tv Land a whole lot better than Nick at Nite nowadays.

Max Whittaker · 08-29-2001, 08:43 PM

Here's an idea. Print this post and mail it to N@N headquarters. See if they finally listen.
