How would you improve the wasteland that is now TV Commercial Land. I mean how would you exactly fix it. The facts, the figures, all the details, what would you do?? Please add a full schedule and all the details!!!

Since they don't really show classic shows anymore, I think it would be nice to do a "you vote" once a week (kind of like the way the Hub used to do). Put 3 or 4 shows up for vote and air 6 episodes for a mini marathon.

Examples for week 1: Father Knows Best, My Three Sons, Dennis the Menace, Leave It to Beaver

Examples for week 2: The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres

Examples for week 3: Mama's Family, Night Court, Alice, Benson

I think TV Land needs a consistent schedule (same schedule every week), variety (no marathon blocks) and to commit to their originals. I really like TV Land's originals, they keep the channel fresh, but i feel they do not get enough airtime.

I knew what you meant but I need time to think of a decent schedule and I've been too busy today to worry about it.

How would I fix TV Land? PERMANENTLY!!! All I need is a B-2 "Spirit" Bomber and a 500 Kiloton "Device" and I'd put that wretched channel out of it's misery (along with all the other Viacom channels)

That would be a nice change but it'll never happen. I think a lot of people like myself don't even bother watching it anymore.

I wish that was true but there are lots of people like myself that can't get either of those networks.

If the ratings were there for classic shows, I'm sure they would have kept them. However, with the advancement of online viewing and DVDs, the market for an entire network to focus on them just isn't there. I'm sure Antenna TV and MeTV will face the same issues down the road. It's a solid way to try and gain an audience, but the audience that watches the shows will only stick around for so long.

I know I don't; I don't even know what number it is on our cable system and I don't care.

MrCleveland · 08-19-2013, 02:27 PM

I stopped caring for those stations and went toward MeTV and Antenna TV.

We must admit it...Viacom Stations are just in it for the money, not for the people.

That's quality over quantity.
