A&E has changed for the worse! I miss how it was in the earlier part of the decade when they aired Biography, Investigative Reports, American Justice, Cold Case Files and City Confidential.That was the best! It was a true crime lovers paradise.

AMC...used to be my favorite channel...of course TV Land just sucks anymore.

I nominate ESPN Classic,it went from classic sports to non-stop poker and boxing and a glorified ESPN overflow channel.

MTV,VH1 and CMT is pretty much self-explanatory.

Food Network has gotten better.

It used to be only about these high-class recipes and expensive restaraunts.

Now, it teaches us how to make good food that's easy and not-so-pricey, as well as great eye candy in Giada and Rachael.

well, the most obvious one is, of course, CRAP LAND, I mean TV LAND.
But then there's A & E, AMC, VH1, and NICK AT NITE.

Both A&E and Bravo were at one time EXCELLENT, innovative variety entertainment stations. I can still remember watching short films produced by McCartney's independent film division....great British and American short films... heck even Cirque Du Soleil before it TOOK OVER A&E for awhile....Stuff you'd never see anywhere else.

Yeah, since when does lifting one's hands equal years of hard, physical work?

Poker became a sport the same time Rhythm Gymnastics became an Olympic sport.
