TVLand currently airs I Love Lucy at 10am.

Friends is the number one show for Nick@Nite. Just last week it did an 0.8 demo, which is better than some original comedies do on broadcast networks. Yes, Dear never did do that well for the network though.

I knew Friends was doing well, but I didn't know it was doing THAT well.

The HUB - They've buried every sitcom...except Alf.

Scifi - This network went downhill YEARS ago. I miss the weekday marathons. Star Trek: TNG was their last great acquisition, years ago.

Nick at Nite - I love Friends. That's about it. Full House and Family Matters whenever they're on. How does this network continue to do well!?

TV Land - Without question, the worst of the worst. The editing, the off the clock scheduling, the lack of truly great shows, crappy marathons and encores. I feel like TV Land gave me the middle finger around 2005.

I gave ALL the Pay-TV Networks the "One Fingered Salute" six years ago this week.

There were other options for sitcoms in 2003, IMO. TBS, ABCFamily, TNN. And even Nick at Nite and TV Land.

I can understand why a show like Friends would be on Nick at Nite and drawing well but I dont know why it would be on there when you can probably recite every scene and every episode by now. TV Land just gave up. You can say they show Andy Griffith and I Love Lucy but I think those are just props to plug Hot in Cleveland and Happily Divorced.

The Hub went down the drain. I didnt know that there were many Hercules and Sliders fans out there. Who knew?

LUNCH · 01-06-2013, 03:53 PM

ABC,CBS,NBC and most of the cable channels. Like I mentioned on a similair thread awhile back,it would be a lot easier to list the very few channels that have NOT gone down the drain.

MickeyMac · 01-08-2013, 02:04 PM

I totally agree with you all about TVLand.

I've felt this way about "the big three" for the last half decade. However, I do think the cable channels have improved over the last five years.

The Hub. For sure.

It was so great last year and in 2011.

Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Facts Of Life, Mork and Mindy, Doogie Howser, Family Ties, etc, etc...all on weeknights. I had something to watch. Now, they have crap like Sliders and The Adventures Of Lois and Clark. Ick! I didn't even like those shows when I was a kid (when they first aired) and I still don't like them.

If they had to add new stuff. Why not just tap into that vast NBC/ABC library again and bring on shows like Perfect Strangers, My Two Dads, The Hogan Family, or Punky Brewster? It would have been nice to see those in syndication again.
