TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?
« on: October 16, 2008, 11:58:26 PM »
Here's some more noticeble cable channels that I think jumped the shark:
18. Spike TV (formaly TNN -- The Nashville Network). Reason why: too much UFC, TNA, and all that other wresleling garbage! Its just as bad as the WWE! So much for the first ever "Men's network!"
19. QVC. Reason why: the internet ruining home shopping on TV. Back in the '80s and '90s (before the internet), home shopping channels like QVC and HSN was one of the best places to order items. Even back then, it was fun to watch too. Even I used to watch QVC alot back in the late '90s, early '00s.
20. HSN. Reason why: same thing as QVC. Even I use to watch HSN alot too back when I was little.
21. BET. Reason why: raceism. African Americans needs to stop listing to that rap music and listen to the music on TWC! I even bet famous Afican Americans (like Barack Obama and Jessie Jackson) are tuning out BET too.
22. AMC. Reason why: Airing post-2000 movies (2000-present day). So whats next for American Movie Classics? Recently released movies from earlier this year? Plus watching movies on basic cable sucks, because its edited and they would always would have those annoying commercial breaks durring the movie!
23. ABC Family (formaly CBN Family, The Family Channel, Fox Family). Reason why: when Disney bought out the station after when Fox sold it. Like the Disney Channel, alot of the programming from ABC Family sucks these days.
24. Lifetime. Reason why: "Television for women." Don't expect to see Lifetime to be the the new home for the Super Bowl.
25. Bravo. Reason why: Another chick channel. No affence of course.
26. Food Network. Reason why: the obeasity epicdemic. Stop eating making all of those greasy foods!
27. Disney Channel/Toon Disney. Reason why: day one. I hate Disney! They are an monopoly!
Plus they even took all of the good cartoons away from both The CW and Cartoon Network. That's Warner Brothers property! Disney is supose to hate Warner Brothers (hence Daffy Duck and Donald Duck -- othough no releation).
28. TLC. Reason why: no more education shows. Don't ever they know what "E/I" is?
29. FSN. Reason why: when old man Rupert Merdoct just had to buyout every regional sports network. He even owns FSN Midwest which is our regional FSN affiliate! Fox doesn't know sports!
30. Oxygen. Reason why: Yet another chick channel. NBC Universial should of not bought out the channel and should of not aired the Olympics on it. I think Disney would of been a better choice because, they aready "F"ed-up ABC. They already ruined one of the major network televison stations and started to air more chick shows on ABC (like Desperite Housewifes and Super Nanny). I hope NBC woun't ruin TWC!
31. Golf Channel. Reason why: day one. I rather watch pro football or pro baseball! P.S. Go St. Louis Cardinals! P.P.S. Also, go Rams!
32. SoapNet. Reason why: yet another chick channel. I even herd that they are rarely airing any recent soap oprea episodes from the network television stations (like As The World Turns and Day of Our Lives).
33. Style. Reason why: day one. Plus its not another channel that appeals me.
So there you have it. Even Comcast just had to add fuel to the fire. All of us are sick and tired of watching crappy shows on a good channel or even crappy channels that no one is watching. And lets not forget a whopping $70.00 a month just for basic cable!

- Boomerang
- All premium cable channels (like HBO and Cinemax)

I predict that: Red Sox wins AL, Phillies wins NL, and the Red Sox beating the Phillies in the World Series. I just wish the Cardinals would of made it -- dang it!

I'm talking about NBC's sister station MSNBC. Microsoft even partnered with them since the network's launch in 1996. Its also part of MSN.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast Sucks.
« on: October 12, 2008, 11:45:01 PM »Man, that sucks. I hope Comcast in my area woun't move CNN, CNN Headline News, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, C-SPAN, C-SPAN 2, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network, ESPN, ESPN2, FSN Midwest, HSN, QVC, and Cable Marketplace Channel 5 (a local genentic weather station that differs from TWC) to the digital tier full time. Of course, it would be alot worse if they dropped the channel off the line-up for good. I also hope they don't drop WEEK (NBC) and WAOE (My Network TV) off the lineup for good. They already removed both the National Geografic Channel and ESPNews off the analog lineup.AMC, Cartoon Network, some leased access channel, and Style is switching to digital here on 10/20. I watch AMC a lot, as well as GSN which was removed about a year or so ago, so I should probably get a converter box.GSN went digital over a year ago, which pissed me off because I had to get a cablebox then because it was my absolute favorite channel (besides TWC) and I wanted to keep it... the Cablebox still has it as channel 37, however that's a QAM redirect to 179.
