Is Cozi TV the worst station ever?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

mets82 · 03-09-2013, 08:40 PM

That might seem harsh but there programming is beyond terrible. I've never even heard of half the shows they have. They got reality shows on there that I've never heard of. Right now, they have a show called Foundations on now, then The Border and then The Collector. I've never heard of these shows. Plus the fact they dont have the full screen and the black bars instead. Am I reading too much into this? I thought when they had there soft launch, that there programming was better.

I don't have it yet, as a matter of fact...I wonder if WKYC picked-up CoziTV yet?...

I wouldn't say they're the worst network ever but their lineup isn't very impressive, except for a couple of their daytime shows.

But the thing I'm wondering is; WHY THE **** do they show everything with those black bars on either side????

MrCleveland · 03-10-2013, 08:31 AM

I'm wondering if they'll pick-up more TV Shows that were made by Universal or was on NBC.

When I saw their lineup I didn't think much of it. However they're not totally worthless, I believe Cozi airs Highway to Heaven and Charlie's Angels. There are several stations that don't even have one show worth watching.

I like the mix of some real odd classics but have complained about the aspect ratio on still normal old screens 4:3......I have written them several times about the black bars only on the sides, hence also stretching the picture, even when the movies air full screen, they are still stretched. Cozi has ignored all the proper and respectful emails I have sent.

Even though it would be annoying, I would rather have programs in standard definition even if broadcasted "postage stamped" meaning black bars surrounding every corner.

There is no reasonable explaination for this, as it is a over the air digital channel, but so is Antenna TV.....I just thank the tv heavens above that the worst of all the classic channels COZI is the only one following this practice.

Why did these 16:9 televisions' catch on to the degree that one cannot even buy a 4:3 screen anywhere, we are all not only sports & movie watchers. I want my classic B&W shows (broadcast & DVD) to fill the screen as I watched them and as they were produced.

rant over

Not sure about Foundations, but The Collector and The Border are Canadian shows. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

This is what I absolutely hate about Dish Net. The pillarboxing and windowboxing on certain channels due to them not wanting to negotiate deals with the rights holders for HD.
