Rants on Television

[Resetti's Replicas]

FOX, stop cancelling good shows!  Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, Firefly, Drive, oh and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!!!!!

[GroudonRobotWars]

Cartoons mostly used to be good, I wish they would get rid of crap like Jimmy Two Shoes, Chowder and any of those other stupid "farts are funny shows" It is good they still play good stuff like 6teen, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, The bugs bunny and tweety show and What's new Scooby-Doo?

Oh and don't get me started on that crap called Jersey Shore.

Yes, but it is an on topic talk about MLP, so really, what wins, no ponies outside of Junkyard, or a post about ponies that is somehow relevant to the topic at hand? Plus, I would think that you would approve of what Natef said. Besides, I thought that really only applied to pony images that were irrelevant to the topic at hand.

[Natef]

Bring back MST3K!

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

Anyone remember X-Fire (Cross-Fire)? Dayumn, that was a great show. I'd wake up early just to watch it

Thanks for telling me that natef talked about MLP... SECOND MLP REFERENCE DETECTED

Am I getting a warning?

All discovery has going for it is Shark Week, Man vs Wild, and Mythbusters. I could also count Punkin Chunkin but Discovery had little confidence in it in the first place so they moved it to Science before it gained much popularity. How its Made is another good one to watch when you are bored. But they keep copying their own shows. Dual Survival, Survivor Man, Man vs Wild, Matter of Seconds (I think that's the one), Survival Couple (or whatever the it is called) all share the same damn premise. Then there is Mythbusters which is arguably the most popular and Discovery's producers then created Smash Lab and Prototype This. (Granted Prototype this was actually watchable). Then there was Time Warp... they just had to cancel something good.


Now that we are talking about copied shows, I think TruTV and TLC really could be argued as the most pathetic channels on the freaking tele. A+E is the main victim in this situation. The shows Hoarders, Intervention, and Storage Wars are copied by TLC and Tru TV. Then the History Channel (which refuses to give out accurate information) gets Pawn Stars copied by almost every single network on the planet. I do admit though TruTV's Impractical Jokers is hilarious AND ORIGINAL.


Now that I have mentioned TLC, let's talk about some of their shows. Extreme Couponing, Toddlers and Tiaras, Jon and Kate Plus 8, freaking 18 and counting. NOBODY GIVES A DAMN about these dumb scenarios. I could care less if you are 85 and dying, I will disown you if you think TLC is a good channel. TLC had awesome stuff, Junkyard Wars, Robotica, and that one show with the custom built tanks. Those were awesome. Now TLC had taken 80 billion bottles of estrogen (no offence Jonzu) and ruined it. Plus it is called "The Learning Channel" all I am learning is how to create better quality stuff then the crap they air now.

Are we using TLC in the context of The Learning Channel, or Totally Lost Cause?

The Learning Channel

[Chaosmancer]

I still think of Tired Liver-spotted Coot whenever I hear TLC

[Mr. AS]

the only networks im pisssssed at is nickelodeon and disney channel for narrowing their audiences down to 8-13 year old girls

*stuff about TLC*

I was almost on Jon and Kate... we were going to do a birthday party for one of their sets of kids but Katezilla turned us down as too violent.

[russian roulette]

Wow... facepalm.

Then the bitch cheated on him and ruined the whole thing.

[Badnik96]

I was gonna say "Too violent from the channel that did Robotica?" But then I saw RR's post.

honestly a tv is only good for sports and video games anymore. Oh, and Top Gear.
