SICK OF THEME TV ON FORMERLY GOOD CHANNELS? A GRIPE THREAD

Posted on 11/11/2003 6:13:37 AM PST by Chancellor Palpatine

OK - here is my peeve. TNT used to be kinda fun. There was a mix of action movies, some drama. Now, it is infested with Law and Order nearly nonstop. Now, USA is picking up Law and Order SVU, and it appears to be nonstop, displacing its formerly decent format.

Discovery has gone to nearly all forensic crime, and TLC has become Trading Spaces 24/7.

As a result, I've actually resorted to more PBS.

Does anyone else hate this theme thing, or am I alone?

Get a TIVO. Then scheduling changes and themes won't make the least bit of difference to you. You'll still be watching what you want, when you want.

Spike TV? Now THAT is a King of Porn. Ask the people who lost their jobs at CBS Charlotte and CBS Nashville offices when the groundwork for Spike TV was formed in 1999.

1996 Male Vocalist of the Year Gary Chapman, a host on its predecessor from 1996 until 1999, still feels sorry for the staff which was fired after MTV's moves began. To this day he hasn't been able to do much in his professional career either since MTV's move.

Fox picked up a majority of the former channel's staff.

Actually VIA.B does not own any part of Discovery Communications.

These theme channels seem to be a trend in a 500-channel universe.

When I dropped cable, AMC was putting Love At First Bite and Predator into heavy rotation as "classics".
