The Biography Channel is the best for discussing Old TV shows, but not E! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

That channel STINKS, I found out so much about Happy days watching the biography of Scott baio and it was supposed to be about HIM not really happy days. They explained he was added to happy days because Richie was getting older and no longer needed to be mentored by Fonzie. And that Joanie Loves Chachi was the HIGHEST RATED NEW SHOW in TV history.

Now that's info you won't ever get from that crappy channel called E!, instead they would have explained what scott baio likes to eat for dinner-lol

E! is pretty trashy.

E! is just another bastardized child channel of The TV Guide Channel nowadays anyway.

You can't even check an E! True Hollywood Story w/out it being about Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan.

Well I wish E would just stop the THS of sitcoms all together

THS as I stated was meant to talk/gossip abt the lives of famous people. Not the shows they are/were on. If you know the channel very well and the beginnings of THS you would know this. E! has always been abt gossip, tabloid talk, etc. I wouldn't watch FOX REALITY CHANNEL and then complain abt there only being reality related stuff on that channel.

What is the point of THS Investigates--which often has nothing to do with anything in Hollywood?

E! is an overall, good station, more so for the younger generation like myself. But as far as THS, they don't tell you nearly enough as you want to know, espec. about behind the scenes, Did you Know? facts, trivia and so on and so on. Especially why certain characters chose to leave or were never heard of again i.e. Chuck, Richie and Ralph etc.

They actually did the best job with Good Times but still could have better.

I think using the word HOLLYWOOD is more of a term to mean "people in show business" not necessarily Hollywood itself.

I remember one of the segments they did was abt a girl who was not even famous but was seeking stardom. She was a beauty queen who tried to get started in acting but ended up, of all places, here in our city, dancing in a bikini bar. She somehow ended up in another city up north and was found murdered. I guess her story was shown on THS to show a wannabe star who never made it. The dark side of Hollywood.
