TNN is the The Nothing Network - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Flash72 · 10-02-2002, 11:59 PM

I am not surprised that TNN's schedule is none too promising for next month. I recall everyone complaining about TNN"s hick image and the network touting themselves as the "New TNN" but from what I have observed since the change took place the new one is far worse than the old one. I am referring to the blatantly filthy ads with that punk Jessie. I thought the half naked women by the pool was bad or the supposedly funny one about Jessie having an erection after seeing gorgeous women, but I saw a new low in low recently. The ad I am referring to shows Jessie getting massaged in the hotel and when his employer Bob tells him they have to be downstairs in a few minutes he gets off the table naked and walks to the door; the blur is on the screen thank God but still this is not funny. As for the network's programming it consists of Robot Wars, Wrestling, and American Gladiators; so you tell me are we better off now than we were during the so called "hick" era?

I agree with you but what can we expect? TNN is owned by Viacom, the same idiots that own TVLAND and NAN so we can just expect the same shuffling of junk between the three networks. At least when it was hicks it had an identity, now TNN is just sad.

Let me copy and paste Pav's schedule in here, so I can have it right in front of me.

Weekdays:
9:00AM Picket Fences- This one might be suited for the channel.
10:00AM MOVIE- Eh, a freebie I guess
12:00PM Real TV- Shouldn't be on the station
12:30PM Real TV-
1:00PM Rendez-View
1:30PM Rendez-View
2:00PM Star Trek: TNG- Another freebie
3:00PM Miami Vice- Another freebie
4:00PM The A-Team- Another freebie
5:00PM Baywatch- should be rerun on fox or something
6:00PM V.I.P.- see Baywatch
7:00PM Real TV
7:30PM Real TV
8:00PM Star Trek: TNG
9:00PM WWE Mondays/MOVIE Tues-Thurs/Star Trek Fridays- Well, wrestling is a sport and I have 50 million sports channels. Should be on a sports channel.
11:00PM C.S.I. Mondays, Star Trek: TNG- Hello! It's too soon for CSI. Wait until the show is canceled to show reruns.
12:00AM V.I.P. Mon-Thurs, Originals on Friday - Again, see my V.I.P comment
1:00AM Baywatch Mon-Thurs, Originals on Friday- See Baywatch at the top
2:00AM The A-Team Mon-Thurs, Originals on Friday- Already commented on A- Team

Noteable on Saturdays:

2:00AM The A-Team

Noteable on Sundays:
12:00AM MAD TV
1:00AM Crime Strike
1:30AM American Gladiators

I'm not putting a comment beside every show, but you should catch my drift. It's pure trash. Thank goodness for Tv Land and Tech Tv.

Great. The Only network that I get out of the big three and it's turned into mush.

FOLrocks1 · 10-03-2002, 07:52 PM

i agree that this channel Sucks!

cubsfan1060 · 10-06-2002, 07:41 PM

I agree with you guys. Since one of the facts of life is to never lie unless it is not appropriate, I hate WWF Raw. IT is always either Trish Stratus, The "UN" Americans, or some other jerk always winning. Luckilly, there have been a few new champs in town. If only Viacom could own MTV again. Beavis and Butthead would be on and we could still watch I Love Lucy on Nick at Nite.

The only time I liked TNN is when it was called The Nashville Network and not The National Network. They had great shows like Prime Time Country, Crook and Chase, Opry Backstage, Grand Ole Opry, and all the other country type shows were on. Yeah, I know most of you don't like country and never probably watched TNN then but that's when I did and I loved it. Now I agree with everyone else that it sucks major big time.

That is a very accurate statement because as of November 4th when TNN drops Three's Company-the network will then be showing NOTHING!!!
