Posted: 7/16/08 at 3:33pmDefinitely would be MTV for me. They should rename themselves "15 Minutes of Fame TV."

TBN, separating the poor, elderly and stupid from their grocery money since the Watergate era.
Of course, they can keep that crazy piano dude who wears the big rings.

BBC America - now a useless station. If it went back to showing real British shows then I'd watch it.
Travel Channel - remember when this channel actually showed travel programs rather than "The 10 Best Bidets in Buffalo"?
MTV, VH1 - I remember when you could watch videos all day long.
PBS - basically now just the beg-a-thon channel. Perhaps if they quit playing "America Loves Doo Wop" and went back to showing quality programs, someone might actually donate some money to them.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

BET - Now a cultural waste land that sets back an entire civil rights movement.
The Tennis Channel (TTC) - I have tried to get into the programming over there but the hosts and play-by-play commentators are total duds.
I'm not calling for pulling the plub on FauxNews per se but please scrap that gaul-awful 'War Stories with Ollie "Iran Contra" North' crap, as well as 'Red Eye with the Greg GutButt'.
Oh nearly forgot, there is a third Spanish-language network on Comcast in my area that features programming a notch below community access programming. I mean recently there was a cooking show on in which a female guest who weighed at least 300 lbs was instructing the audience on how to prepare Guatemalan meat pies with LARD. The network is neither Univision nor Telemundo btw.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why GOLF merits a whole channel. Five minutes, and I'm asleep.
I'd rather watch a LARD channel. (hi there, javero)
I bet cooking with lard is a culinary art form that has been lost to the modern age.

Great link papa! Click on the top shows and see a portrait of America warts 'n' all. #1 is of course Wrestling, but the show with the most appearances is Spongebob, who cracked the top 40 with 17 different showings.
And of course, the Wizards of Waverly place is among the most-watched shows in America!

You've got that right. Lard is so much better to cook with.

OMG, while growing up in a small town in eastern NC back in the 70s a childhood highlight was going to the county fair, quarter mile drag strip and the metropolis known as Raleigh to see some gaul-awful wrestling match.
I wasn't aware that pro wrestling had its on network.

Posted: 7/16/08 at 4:56pmOh, but leave me my beloved Spike TV...I get such fulfillment having "me-time" watching the hotties on UFC.
