If this makes you unhappy, I'd simply say be patient. All the "oldies" channels seem prone to decade creep.....I'd be more than happy if one of them would just stick to the 50s and 60s, but they all seem to try to be like TV Land, eventually.
I think it mostly has to do with capitalism and that obsession with constant growth. They'll see some other network having success with newer era stuff, and they decide to play "monkey see, monkey do" and try to peal away some audience from a competitor. It makes me unhappy....but I guess even network programmers are not immune to the "grass is greener" mindset. |

I'm sort of puzzled by this thread...was there ever any doubt that Decades airs shows from the 50's to the 80's? They have been showing the same daytime lineup for almost 3 years now, plus Ed Sullivan, Laugh-In and Dick Cavett shows from the 60's to the late 80's. The same applies to the weekend "binges". For my money, this network is the best of the diginets with some of TV's classiest shows.

Can’t you just look at their schedule and see they don’t show anything past the ‘80s? I can just look at ESPN’s schedule and see they only show sports. Don’t need any written confirmation.

There will be a couple of 90s shows in the 12:30am Eastern slot starting August 24th, after Vega$ ends - Bob (1992-1993) and Brooklyn Bridge (1991-1993).

Decades is the best. Please no more 1980s or later.
