Ditto to the nets that air reality crap.

My list:
Nick at Nite- I've complained about this one enough, so no explanation needed for this post.
CMT- They are going Junior MTV. Yeah, they still air videos during normal times, but they show the same ones over and over and over and over again.
MTV- Took off Beavis and Butthead and won't show videos at normal times
VH1- Well, it's the best out of CMT and MTV, but stil, it's went down.
TVL- Like I said in an earlier post, I used to watch it all the time, now I rarely watch it.

That's all I can think of now.

SBTB Geek · 04-26-2003, 01:02 AM

^What are you talking about?

MTV airs videos the entire morning/afternoon/PRIMETIME/early evening.

Back to topic:
USA Network
Cartoon Network (although Adult Swim keeps on getting better.)
TNN
Nick @ Nite (not Nickelodeon)
CBS

Christopher · 04-26-2003, 09:01 AM

N@N
USA
TNN
Cartoon Network (darn them for getting rid of The Oblongs

)
TBS (all the good comedies air too early, I never get to see Mama's Family anymore)

BLT · 04-26-2003, 11:22 AM

NBC (aka the drama & reality channel) First of all their new comedies aren't too hot to start with & second of all even if they were they put most of them in crappy tuesday slots where the competition is increasingly tough. Third of all, they often promote the few comedies that they do have like dramas (ie: friends, frasier, will & grace).

CBS hasn't been strong in the comedy department (besides mondays of course) for quite a while, but that's not new. However, it would be nice if they had just one leading lady on monday nights that wasn't a brunette for a change!

In a word, FOX!

Thank you FOX for continuing to pollute the ariwaves with horrible and degrading reality shows while dumping or ignoring great sitcoms that could have been long running hits.

I'm giving you the finger right now!

David · 04-26-2003, 12:10 PM

FOX- Eek

NICK- Used to be gr8, now it's full of cartoons. It cant turn into cartoonnetwork

ABC- Used to be VERY gr8, with TGIF and stuff, now it sux

VH1- Just is

GrapeJelly · 04-26-2003, 12:31 PM

PAX! They used to air cool stuff like the Hogan Family, Life Goes On and Eight is Enough...and now all they show is Bonanza.

TNN also started out pretty cool airing Starksy & Hutch, Alice, Three's Company, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, and Diff'rent Strokes. I don't even watch TNN anymore since they discontinued airing retro tv classics and bombarded viewers with 4 hour blocks of "Real TV."

Any station, cable or not, involving reality shows.
I watch TV Land a lot, but I wish they'd show more eps of their shows and quit editing.
