What's your favorite of the major networks? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What is your favorite of the major 5 networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CW)?
I'm not really counting MNTV, ION, RTN, etc, since their programming strategies are sort of different.

Probably CBS for me, they have some decent dramas (Cold Case, NUMB3RS, 48 Hours)....just about the only network I'm watching, except for CW, which I only watch for Smallville on Thursdays, most of the time. I'm not really watching many new shows, but would be open to something if it's decent.

feels cliche but I think I'm gonna have to go with ABC, because six shows I make a weekly habit of (Desperate Housewives, Brothers And Sisters, Pushing Daisies, Private Practice, Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy)

Your VERY happy about the return on The Amazing Race.

And CBS and FOX are in the lead...Interesting.

dawsongirl · 11-05-2007, 01:41 AM

CBS. I don't watch anything on the other networks.

Ant-Lox · 11-06-2007, 11:16 AM

CW:

tv star collector · 11-06-2007, 11:27 AM

Right now, I would have to say the CW (for SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL,
and LIFE IS WILD). In the '90s, I would have said Fox (THE SIMPSONS, THE
X-FILES, BRISCO COUNTY JR.). In the '80s, it would be NBC (THE COSBY
SHOW, FAMILY TIES, ALF). In the '70s, ABC (HAPPY DAYS, LAVERNE &
SHIRLEY, MORK & MINDY, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, CHARLIE'S
ANGELS). In the '60s, CBS (THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, THE MUNSTERS, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW).
And in the '50s NBC (HOWDY DOODY, Steve Allen, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Bob Hope's
specials, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, WAGON TRAIN, BAT MASTERSON, BONANZA) ... but then we could only get one channel in those days! So,
over the years, I've had favorite shows on all the major networks.
