TV Land has gone downhill since they started airing High School Reunion and they dropped a lot of good shows like Highway to Heaven from their schedule.

The only thing I don't like about ABC Family is that they air Full House too much.

TV Land was going downhill long-before they started airing High School Reunion, HSR just gave it a bigger shove down the slope.

TVLand went downhill when they abandoned their classic TV format and started all all those 80's show.

TV Land most definately. I see no problem with 80s shows being on TV Land. When they start putting shows on from the 90s to present & reality shows, that's when I have a problem with the channel.

My other pick would be Cartoon Network. If they got rid of this channel, I would not miss it.

TV Land- Reality shows, movies, current shows.

Scifi Channel- At least Lost and Stargate fit the channel, but the fact that they have wrestling on there.

I also agree with Cartoon Network, now they will be airing The Office(British version)- why is it still called Cartoon Network? At least Boomerang is still playing classic cartoons.

MTV and VH-1(even though I watch the cheesy celeb reality shows)both networks aren't even remotely like what they were in the 80's.

AMC- Once upon a time this was a channel that aired classic movies, and no commercials. Now it's just a bunch of TV edited movies(rarely a classic)

Yeah it's nice having Boomerang but they are showing cartoons that should not be on that channel. I just hope they dont continue doing that & go down the same path as Cartoon Network.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 05-21-2009, 04:56 PM

All of them. And if they haven't yet, they will. I blame it on the fact that eventually they all decide to throw in some cheap, reality crap.

MickeyMac · 05-21-2009, 06:21 PM

Yeah AMC totally went down too when they abandoned classic movies(we're talking movies before 1970).

I have a fear that Turner Classic Movies is headed in the same direction.

browneyes106 · 05-22-2009, 03:33 PM

I think CMT which is owned my MTV and Viacom has really gone downhill. I think there a lot of country music fans that hate that channel.

dawsongirl · 05-22-2009, 05:43 PM

TVLand - The minute they resorted to reality TV with absolutely NO "historical" twist *coughCougarcough* And before. Let's be honest with ourselves.

SyFy - Haven't watched in a long time, but what a stupid name change!

Cartoon Network - Those are cartoons? FOR KIDS??

VH1 - They need to change their name. Showing videos at 3am does not mean you're a station that plays music videos. Video Hits my ass.

AMC - Let's be like the commercial-ridden version of HBO! GREAT!

Chiller - another one I never really watched, but I hear NBC bought it and turned it into USA2. Wow...that's ridiculous.

peachysquirt21 · 05-22-2009, 09:32 PM

Yeah that new name change for the sci fi channel is so stupid. I don't know what made them change it to something like that.

clj2 · 05-22-2009, 10:53 PM

TV Land - "PRIME" was the death of them.

Sleuth - had good mystery dramas from the 70s/80s....now a USA clone

A&E - erm, ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT. Where are the arts? Not supposed to be a reality channel.

MTV/MTV2/VH1 - Just disasters
