I miss SOAPnet. I wish this channel would make a comeback and air classic soaps along with same-day episodes of the current soaps.

I also miss The Hub. It was a fun station with a great prime time schedule when it was Step by Step, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Batman...

Thanks to my mammoth home video collection I don't miss any channel!

Have to concur with SOAPnet. Would love to see classic AW again, along with perhaps classic ATWT & GL.

Not defunct but I miss the way certain stations used to be in the '90s when they were still good. Nick@Nite, TV Land, WWOR and TBS used to have great shows and now all are wastelands IMO.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOT0zMIS6ss&t=684s

VH1 Classic

Expanding on my original post:

I'd like to see SOAPnet revived with reruns of all the classic soaps especially Days of our Lives, All My Children, Port Charles, & Sunset Beach.

I'd love to be able to rewatch Janet from another planet on AMC!

Luckily I have been able to obtain complete years of Days of our Lives in great condition with no commercials. I have 1995-2004 of the series and plan to try and get more soon.

One I miss from my childhood, a UHF channel- KECH (Channel 22) aka Catch-22. It aired classic TV series from Land Of The Giants to Father Knows Best and The Monkees, and the serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, plus old movies (along the lines of the cheesier output- Ed Wood and the like)

mets82 · 12-23-2017, 12:47 PM

The Hub
SoapNet

Also, like mentioned above, I do miss Nick at Nite, TVLand the way they used to be.

I guess I've mentioned my adventures doing this hobby a little too much.
