Worst Current Network/Channel on TV? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TMC · 01-18-2012, 02:45 AM

I got the idea to start this thread from here. Anyway, I'm going to break things down in both cable and broadcast (i.e. ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, NBC, etc.), and try to give me a good reason why.

Oh, that's Easy, ALL OF THEM!

Too many "Reality" Shows, as well as too much "Political Correctness".

Also TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!!!

I respect opinions, but ALL?!

If not for "Parenthood" and a sitcom or two, there'd be no reason to watch NBC. I think it's time for the government to bail them out!

He likes to belabor the point that he doesn't have cable anymore, that he saves money and is able to buy a huge library of DVDs, and blah blah blah blah inappropriate commercial during a kids' show. He's just trying to support his long-held claim that all of television is currently a wasteland. I think we get it.

i think the CW is the worst, followed closely by abc then nbc (CW has gotten rid of everything but really bad reality shows and dumb dramas aimed at 12 year old girls)

on cable, there are soo many bad ones it is hard to pick even just a handful - MTV, Hallmark Channel, YouToo, Clooooo, TVLand, SyFy is quickly going down the drain, ION, Lifetime, GSN - most of them just show too many bad commercials, hack shows up, repeat them all a million times, show too many dumb reality shows, and cancel their good shows (like Eureka and the Dresden Files, etc.)

The CW is pretty much a pile of garbage. The Vampire Diaries is really the only series on the network that has any value, and it could fit on ABC Family.

Remodeled had the lowest series premiere in the history of any broadcast network, which goes to show you how bad The CW is right now.

I honestly think the affiliates would be better off if The CW folded and they all went independent.
