Hoe do such pathetic, weak kneed morons rise to the top in these organizations anyways?
What they don't realize is other enterprising, smarter people will swiftly create new cable or online TV channels to cater for that niche and grab A & E's customers.

I had seen every episode of Yellowstone until this year when Paramount canceled Cops. I have not watched the network since.

“Maybe they can teplace police docs with shark and fighter plane docs.”

It’ll soon be all black and queer and feminist programming. You know — accurately reflecting America.

Live PD and COPS reruns are all available on youtube - for now, anyway.

this isn’t the first program A&E has dropped. They used to have some worthwhile Arts (not only Entertainment) shows. we used to watch A&E but its programming has gotten really stupid. maybe its the Disney influence, I don’t know but we turned it off.

we liked it when it was its former self, it had some good shows

“Get Woke, Go Broke.”

Cannot be said often enough. It needs to be a familiar phrase to every board member in every corporation in this country. They need to know the consequences of their actions.

Perhaps the best WW2 documentary series ever. Remarkable because of the interviews with living participants of the war not even 30 year past.

IF you have not watched this 28 episode series you are missing a Gem.

I remember when “Air Power” was on and my Dad commenting on how he remembered watching that one as a youngster back in the ‘60s.

I mentioned this on another A&E discussion thread but I would not mind seeing other ‘70s titles like Switch, Harry O, Cannon, The Streets of San Francisco, Barnaby Jones, and Police Woman brought back if A&E were to go back to showing classic police and detective series.

What ticked off SJW snowflakes was an accurate depiction of joggers in their natural habitat. Maybe Mutual of Omaha can fill in the void.

It would be great if they did, but I doubt if they will. Too darn woke.

Maybe A&E can do a show on Antifa thugs partying at Mom and Dad’s penthouse apartments - whining about how bad the country is... whining and bitching for each show... every week... the whole hour. On and on and on...

“this isn’t the first program A&E has dropped.”

Like “Longmire”. When they cancelled that, we got Netflix specifically to see new episodes. Then when the Obamas went to Netflix we dropped that, which was OK, since Longmire was gone forever by that time.

yes. i really think A&E was close to a very successful programming mix, before it fell apart
