Out of the five, which one do you watch the most? Or which was has given you the most shows you like?

Quote:

CBS: Generic procedeural show, generic procedural show spin off, medical dramas and one or two sitcoms. But manage to avoid a lot of the reality stuff though.

NBC: Past its prime. Handed everything over to Leno. Heroes is their best show, and that's been bad for a while.

Fox: Too many reality shows. They pick up the best fictional shows, but rarely give them a chance. However if they like a show, they'll give it the best chance possible (House, 24)

ABC: Like Fox, they seem to cancel a lot of their stuff. They put out better shows than CBS and NBC though.

The CW: Dawn Ostroff decided she only wanted female viewers, so she got rid of the wrestling, marginalised the sci fi shows, didn't pick up the heavily hyped aquaman pilot because it didn't appeal to the right demographic and now is trying to fill up the schedule with female soap operas and twilight rip offs. So, it's crap now.

I watch all the Networks.I am mostly a FOX man but i do twitch onto ABC and CBS mostly.NBC when nothing else is on and i agree with The CW.Dawn Orstoff just wants female viewers and got rid of the highest rated show FNS to a network that has turned into a Programming Service.Seriously CW need new Leadership if this Network needs to survive.

CBS

CBS. No question.

ryan423 · 05-31-2009, 12:50 PM

CBS was my most watched of 2008-09. But this upcoming season, ABC has about six or seven shows I'll be tuning in for besides the comedies on CBS which I love!

It'll be The CW come September. Supernatural and the new Melrose Place will be must-watch TV for me, I'll give 90210 a second chance (not so sure it deserves it, though), and I'll also check out the model drama with Elle Macpherson. If I can get into One Tree Hill reruns on SOAPnet this summer, I might even give that mess a chance too. Also looking forward to The Vampire Diaries, which is actually not a Twilight rip-off. The Vampire Diaries books were first published nearly 20 years ago, and Twilight only came around a few years ago.

CBS is without a doubt the best network. But for the last two or three years, NBC has been my personal favorite, since it airs most of my shows. The CW will most likely be my favorite once the new season begins.

TVgeek14 · 05-31-2009, 04:14 PM

CW just needs to boot Dawn "I wish i was 20 years younger" Ornstoff and have someone who can make the network stand out a lot better because DO has

.Eliminated Comedy from her lineup
.Hated shows like Reaper,Smallville and Supernatural
.Made Reality all about Fashion and unpromoted other Realities
.Made Sundays a dessert (When it isn`t)
.Sold Smackdown to the dead network.

CBS. They're shows are clearly the best, whether you like them or not. And, they hands down have the best sitcom. So, it's no comparison.

I do watch FOX often, though. And, I'll watch the occasional NBC. I don't really watch ABC, but I will watch in the fall for their comedies.

It's funny but the only show I watched on ABC last season was Lost. I think that's the fewest shows I've ever watched on ABC. I'll give some of the sitcoms a look next season though.

JulieSomoski · 05-31-2009, 06:20 PM

I didn't watch any ABC show regularly last season. I tried Life on Mars for its first episodes, and watched a couple episodes of The Unusuals, but that's it. Their shows just don't entertain me.

Hopefully their comedies will get me watching again. I'm really looking forward to all for of them.
