I wonder when there will be a day when a network discovers you don't need predictable, tiresome reality shows in their lineup.

Agree...

I feel Reality Shows are cheap and Cash Cows at the same time!

i haven't watched the Hub in months - since they got rid of the sitcoms and Dan VS anyways.

absolutely no interest in whatever reality crap they are going to try and fill their schedule with to save money.

The Hub started out as a promising network airing sitcoms from 8-11:30PM. When they removed the 8-10PM sitcoms for a movie is when they started going downhill. Some of them were shows that hadn't aired anywhere else in a long time like The Facts of Life and Doogie Howser, M.D.

That doesnt shock me at all. What a disgrace. Did they say they are trying to market it like ABC's TGIF? Fat chance. I dont think the Hub will sniff what TGIF used to be.

Just as I predicted in another thread earlier this year.

DJM77 · 03-25-2014, 05:17 PM

Why am I not surprised?

megamanj2004 · 03-25-2014, 05:55 PM

Oooooooh boy! Another decent network "selling out" for the sake of the ratings and almighty dollar? Go figure!

ABC1 · 03-25-2014, 08:52 PM

I won't be interested in this station at all, I don't think. I'm just not a fan of so called "reality" programs.

Ryan Chamberlain · 03-25-2014, 10:00 PM

What ratings they do have will go into the toilet. Their fault.

Good thing I taped every episode of SBS.

More useless reality TV. So sick of this crap.

yankeesrj12 · 03-26-2014, 02:31 PM

The ratings for the sitcom repeats aren't all that great, so I'm not surprised.

The tv-tattle link makes no sense, all it does it take you to their useless site and you have to scroll down till you find the article which is the same as the one you posted. Why not just post the link to the wrap article and forget the middleman?
