TBS is one of the cleanest networks on cable. What exactly do you consider dirty?

as for Cartoon Network. They aren't going to get rid of Adult Swim anytime soon, considering it's their biggest hit and is what put them on the map. If you want only clean why not watch the Disney Channel?

Friends? you consider FRIENDS to be dirty? It's a pretty squeaky clean sitcom, pretty mild and tame. For goodness sake it aired at 8pm for a lot of it's run on NETWORK TV!

I think a whole LOT of people would consider Friends a racy show. Squeaky clean? I think not!

Friends airing at 8PM is what caused the family hour to start going away.

Friends may have had sex in it, but I don't consider it "racy" at all.

No. the "family hour" was abandoned when it was declared by the SUPREME COURT as unconstitutional to tell a broadcaster what they can or cannot air on their airwaves.

Also because society as a whole grew and changed and values adjusted. Overall, FRIENDS is not a very racy show comparatively speaking and I can think of a whole lot of shows much more racy that aired much earlier than 8pm.

I really don't think MOST people would consider a sitcom like Friends to be all that "racy" or objective.

SPIKE less of the reality shows and no CSI and more non reality shows for men after all they are suppose to be a network for men
VH1 go back to to airing classic rock videos
USA need to do away with the Law and Order reruns and return to their roots
TBS/TNT need to go back to their roots
Cartton Network get rid of the live action stuff, start showing original Warner And MGM cartoons uncut, and rework Adultswim
HBO and SHOWTIME more movies and less TV shows
IFC, Chiller, and FMC go back to showing commercial free programing and stop showing back to back runs of the same movie
FOX you had good programing in the 80s, 90s, and early 2,000s what's the problem.

I don't see why TBS shouldn't be airing those shows, they don't claim to be a family station. They can air whatever they want. And really, if those shows are "dirty" to you, I don't know how you watch anything on TV.

The Disney Channel, IMO, needs a MAJOR makeover and overhaul. Disney has LOTS of movies/TV shows in their vaults that are overlooked and underused. Bring the Original Mickey Mouse Club (1955/1977), Mousercise, and the Disneyland anthology series back and 86 these teenybopper shows or create a Vintage Disney Channel all together.
