The Sci Fi Channel showing <A TITLE="Click for more information about movies" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||movies|AA1VDw">movies</A> like "Braveheart" and "Misery". Are either Science Fiction or Supernatural Horror? The Sci Fi channel showing ECW. The Sci-Fi channel jumped the shark with its name when it showed Apollo 13. APOLLO 13 was shown on THE SCI-FI CHANNEL! What?! |

hey, what do you know, ESPN Classic is showing Billiards, and ESPNU is showing Brazilian Soccer. This very second.
But yeah, when we upgraded from Basic cable to Dish about 3 years ago, the channel I was most excited for was G4-TechTV(this was right after the merger, so they still used both names). For the first few months, it was great. Now, I only watch it if there is nothing else on.

I thought they changed AMC's name some time ago to reflect it wasn't just classics no more.

In defense of the History Channel, most of their programming, I'd say almost 99% worth, is history related. Ice Road Truckers seems to be the only show on the network that doesn't have some sort of histy behind it. Meh most of there is history is Biblical stuff, WW2-Now and Apcoluptic junk. what about Rome, what about 500-1900 where are those years? |

CMT, pretty much the only cable channel that plays MUSIC, has aired episodes of Hogan Knows Best. Sometimes I really hate Viacom.
I don't understand why poker is on CNBC, which is supposed to be about the stock market.

But besides MTV, the obvious answer is ESPN Classic. I request the return of Cheap Seats, and the 1999 MAC Championship football game. Also stop relegating good games to that damn drive thru crap, where they show a full game in an hour. |

Yep....G4........the only shows they have left during the main day that they originally had were X-Play, Cheat!, and Attack of the Show....
I remember back when my internet wasn't working for almost two years. In those two years I used TechTV/G4-TechTV to keep up with the gaming news.
Now.........bah, I watch the replays of AotS every now and then, but other than that....meh.

A&E=Shows that are nether Arts or Entertainment....Speaks for its self. Opinion. NICKGAS=4 Shows... There are more then 4 shows in Nick's Vault, Stop Showing the same shows all day every day with the same eppisode playing 4 times in one day Are any of those shows NOT games or sports? Are any of those shows NOT Nicktoons? G4-Cops and other shows like that.... What does Cops from 1996 have to do with gaming and Electronics...Nothing last time I checked, so why is it there then? Since when does G4 even claim to be a video game channel any more? |

AMC, which stands for American Movie Classics, shows Catwoman. That movie is sure as hell not a classic. It's still a classic to me, damnit? No? |

Since when does G4 even claim to be a video game channel any more? Here's the thing: Nick GAS- Has stopped showing about 70-80% of the shows they do have (such as Finders Keepers, every Double Dare incarnation except for DD2K (which is not even a quarter as good as the original), Think Fast, Wild and Crazy Kids, and the list continues from there). As for the game shows that are somehow still alive, Nick always shows the same episodes 3-4 times a day, except for Nick Arcade (which only shows from 5-6 a.m.). So, heavy rerun abuse + cutting most of the good shows = A channel that is a shell of its former self. The channel needs to be freshened up or just cut, since Nick hasn't shown a single new game show since that failed attempt to relaunch Wild and Crazy Kids a few years back. Nicktoons Network- No real complaints, except for maybe a slight retossing of the shows on there. Otherwise, the channel should stay, since Nick is staying with those type of shows. The other channels I don't care much about, except for G4, and I'm fine with it when they show certain shows (Ninja Warrior mainly). |

Yea But My Problem with Nick toons is it stopped showing most of the 1990's stuff |
