TNN has gotten awful. Removing "The Waltons" and putting 3s company on! UGGH!!!!!

LucyFan · 03-10-2002, 09:12 PM

I disagree. Comedy is more popular than drama. Wise move on TNN's part.

Pavan · 03-10-2002, 09:31 PM

The Waltons wasn't what TNN wanted. I don't think Waltons is 'pop.' Waltons would work well on TBS after Little House I think.

I'm surprised The National Network kept it on as long as they did. The Waltons fit in perfectly on The Nashville Network but when the overhaul went into effect they kept it on while they dumped Dallas, Alice and The Real McCoys. Although, Alice would fit in perfectly now, on the new TNN.

Ooo, daring statement. 3's company fans won't like that, LOL.

I think it's gotten a tad better, with those comedies and the A-Team.

I agree but not cause of the waltons.They had a slew of smart,original programming and only 1 of those shows still exsist!

The same jerks that turned Opryland Theme Park into a mall destroyed TNN. Does TNN stll feature the Grand Old Opry?
TNN should return to its roots. America needs that wholesome Nashville programs and ideals

Oh yeah, it has gotten better. Not to mention it will be the home of almost the entire Star Trek franchise within a few years.

By the way, when is the A-Team on???
I love that show.

*Faints* *Gets self up and brushes self off* *Faints again*

This country has no time for that "Three's Company"!!!!!

Who hates it?

FOLrocks1 · 03-11-2002, 03:47 PM

Does anyone know if TNN will air "Paradise Lost" and "Going To Pot"? (the ones N@N didn't show)

It's on as I type this. 4pm/3 central.

I think it's a major improvement from when "Hangin' With Mr.Cooper" was the only sitcom on there. I wish WKRP and "Newhart" would return though. I'm happy "Three's Company" & "Diff'rent Strokes" came to TNN. Now people who can't watch it at night can watch it in the day (Some people still can't watch it, like a certain Snow LOL) "The Waltons" just didn't fit in with the 'New' TNN..it fit in when it was the Nashville Network. "Dallas" & "Alice" fit in better then it, and they got the boot.

Brian · 03-11-2002, 09:27 PM

TNN has gotten a helluvalot better. In fact, they are better than Nick-at-Nite. Too bad most of these shows are on while I'm at school.

You have got to be kidding me! First of all, much to your dismay, TNN has gotten stronger since it dumped the ol' Nashville theme. Ever since dumping the hillbilly crap like the Waltons, the Dukes of Hazzard, The Real McCoys and The Grand Old Opry which represented about 1% of the television audience, TNN has thrived!!! Adding shows like 3's company and Diff'rent Strokes makes them better not worse. America NEVER needed that Moonshine garbage and they NEVER will! If they did, it would still be the nashville network and not The National Network. If you want that type of stuff go get the CMT channel aka Country Music Television. YEEE HAAAAAW!
