is nothing being on sunday nights from 9 pm to 1100pm est but tv movies i mean alot of people here at sitcoms online were born in the 80s so maybe they might not understand or remember what it was like before 1986 when cbs threw in the towel on the great sunday programing that they had programed all the way back to 1950 and followed abc and nbc with sunday night movies movies wich for the most part all seemed the same now dont get me wrong once in awhile you could find a really good tv movie to watch on a sunday night and i know fox started in 1987 but fox was such a mess back then you didnt know what was going to be on from week to week im just wondering if anyone else here has memories of fishing around on sunday nights in the mid 80s early 90s just wishing that there was something good on?

I know what you mean. I hated that. That's about the time the NFL started Sunday night football so that's what I started to watch. I didn't even have a Fox station back then. I will admit though that I miss some of the movie nights. It sure would beat reality tv. In the 70's the networks had movies but not opposite each other. There was such variety back then.
