I think most of the tv channels have gone down hill. When they change what they were set up for, they JTS.

Just about every network has gone downhill, but the ones that stick out to me the most are the following:

USA Network
Game Show Network
Nickelodeon
VH1
MTV
Disney Channel
Cinemax
HBO
Showtime
The Movie Channel

TLC

No one can learn anymore from The Learning Channel, they might as well call it TSC...The Stupidity Channel since it makes people dumber now!

zypherix · 09-03-2013, 07:47 PM

MTV... at one point in history they showed music videos! not just pregnant 16 year olds and white trash shows.

simmytbone · 09-28-2013, 10:48 AM

I agree with many of ya

also, Cartoon Network w/o question has went downhill, not to mention, VH1 has gotten terrible thanks to Celebreality nonsense, thank GOD VH1 Classic and VH1 Soul though

also, TBS has gone from a TRUE SuperStation to a rip-off Comedy Central

USA Network may be the top rated network, but to me, they show way too much Law & Order Marathon and other nonsense

TNT, IMO isn't like what it use to be, even though I do like Falling Skies and the NBA

Buffyboy323 · 09-29-2013, 11:16 PM

Mainly all the networks have gone downhill. These are the ones I used to watch most, way back when:

NBC
The CW
ABC
MTV
TBS
Nick at Nite

Schmoopie · 10-06-2013, 05:42 AM

I agree about Nickelodean. That station is awful now. I admit I do watch Friends on it occasionally, but not intentionally.

I actually like the Disney Channel more than I used to although I do wish they would show more shows that feature the theme parks and so forth.

I like AMC now but I still miss the days when they showed uncut old movies.

comedyfreak · 10-06-2013, 05:52 AM

Nickelodeon doesn't have anything good to watch anymore.

DJM77 · 10-06-2013, 06:42 AM

Might as well add BET and MTV2 to the list. Really, about every cable network that has been around long enough has gone downhill.

biffbronson · 10-06-2013, 05:40 PM

Usually the ones I watch do something to redeem themselves. For example, I was really tired of THIS-TV (especially the way they load up on commericials) -- and then all of a sudden they decide to show a couple of Peter Sellers movies I'd never seen. Worth checking out, and it's good that their stuff tends to come around again.

Torgo · 10-07-2013, 09:31 AM

All of them.

LUNCH · 10-07-2013, 12:08 PM

Most of the cable channels and of course the big networks ABC,CBS and NBC have gone totally down the tubes.

More likely, the WB, before it was officially shutdown.
