What happened to TV Land?

There are so many great shows from the 70s and 80s that should be on somewhere -- MTM, the first Bob Newhart Show, Hill Street Blues, LA Law, Family Ties. Even some second-level sitcoms such as Night Court. You can't even find NYPD Blue on any more now that TNT isn't showing it.

 

I caught Family Ties recently....can't remember which network

 

Speaking of which, WGN has been ruined, too. You used to get the pure Chicago programming if you lived elsewhere, but now all you get on most days is 24/7 of Stupid Human Videos, allegedly funny though they never were. The Sunday night lineup is bizarre, mixing and matching sitcoms from way different eras. Somebody at that joint thought it was cool and cutting-edge to have a posterized version of some chick's eyes as the new logo. WTF?

Seems like we get about 1/4 of the Chicago sports broadcasts that it used to carry.

 

While I'm at it, AMC (Amercan Movie Classics) is another network that started out great and then killed itself by inserting incessant commercials in movies where it used to carry none.

If I want to watch a movie laced with commercials, I'll just stick with the rabbit ears on top of my old tube set and save the cable expense, thank you. Imbeciles.

Thank gawd for TCM.

 

hmmmmm
