TV Land was a lot better a couple of years ago...now, everytime they buy a new syndication, they run a week long marathon of it...

Oh, and I saw about enough of "The Jeffersons" and "Good Times" back in the 70's...J.J. Walker just isn't that funny to anyone over 13.

They have a lot of good shows too, but he programming of them sucks. Instead of mixing and matching and running a variety of the oldies, it's marathon-this and marathon-that...give us a break. A week of non-stop "A-Team" or "Three's Company" is just plain enough.

In the past year, I see the listing when scrolling my menu, but I seldom stop on TV Land anymore.

Must be something to that article - I'm a boomer who thinks TV is crap. 'Course it don't pi$$ me off any, I just don't often watch it.

There are actually some good shows nevertheless. I think. Truth is though, that TV rots your brain whatever your age, should you watch much of it.

They are soooo right about this!

Check out this NYC TV listing from 1954. The available programming really is pretty lean, with the exceptions of a few well-remembered classics. I'll stick with today's programming assortment.

Lots of interesting TV history available at www.tvhistory.tv.

I've got news for them. The people under 40 are not watching much television. They're either chatting on the internet, or listening or watching video on their iPods (or YouTube?!!! ;-).

About the only broadcast TV I've watched this year is Dancing with the Stars, which my 'greatest generation' parents enjoy. Now they've got me hooked.

Has anyone else noticed the weird direction that primetime quiz shows has taken? Are there no longer smart people available for TV quizes? All I see now are shows like "Deal or No Deal" where essentially getting past the contestant search process and showing up guarentees a winner of at least $50,000. No intelligence required.
