Anyone have a cable channel that makes them want to kick in the tv?
for me it's TLC.
Every show is either about little people or people with wayyyy too many kids.
and that stupid rip off of Ace Of Cakes. Ugh can't stand it.
I hate more channels than I can list. I hate a lot of things about TV (commercials, news, reality tv, etc). Needless to say, I stay away from TV as much as possible lol..
tlc and lifetime. and lifetime movie network.. and any other lifetime channels that may exist.
Dude, Cake Boss is way more fun than Ace of Cakes.

C-SPAN 1, 2, 3, 4, and 27
QVC + HSN x 50000000
Fox News
HLN
Our cable lineup is worthless.

I'm surprised MTV hasn't gotten a mention, some of the garbage on that channel is an abomination. Also, I'll throw in the Syfy channel, on the grounds of how terrible it has become in comparison to how it once was back when I was a kid.

Some good ones have already been mentioned. But Fuse used to be pretty good, now it's butt. AMC because half of the movies they show are nowhere near classics.

Cartoon Network between the hours of 7:00 am and 11:30 pm. After that, all the swearing and anime your heart can desire. HOORAY!

TBS has the best day-time programming though. I agree that the movies/house of payne/meet the browns are slowly killing it though.

They used to, but like you said House of Payne and Meet the Browns are making me stay away from TBS, not to mention Lopez Tonight which makes me want to take a baseball bat to the TV whenever a commercial shows up for that.

Haha TLC makes me mad sometimes, how they exploit different people. I enjoy J&Kp8 though.
VH1 I think I hate, because all there used to be on it was stupid reality shows with the same format. It was just garbage. I don't know if those things are still on, I haven't been watching much TV for a while.

Hahaha! Agreed. As long as they play Fresh Prince, I'll keep watching!

Yippee Ki-yay Mr. Falcon.
They also edit out some parts of The Office. I noticed this when they are playing the new chair/copier episode and they took out the scene when Creed commends Jim by saying "The balls on you, man!"

i know! FUSE used to be the shit frosh year of high school. Now I'm a frosh in college and I come home to lil' Wayne marathons. After SURS was canceled I was done with that network.

reality channel, MTV, lifetime, VH1, TLC, TBS, and Fox News.
Best: FX, Comedy Central, Adult Swin (I'd like to think of it as it's own network) USA (for burn notice alone), and of course ESPN.

Syfy has Warehouse 13 which is awesome and Warehouse 13 has Allison Scagliotti whom I adore.

It doesn't even have a thread in Entertainment.

Meh I don't much care for that series. It has its moments of course, however it's not something I would enjoy personally.

Eh I think when SURS started the network started going downhill. I thought Daily Download was good and the warped wednesdays/weekends from like 2004 were sweet.

the first year of the show was good, b/c there was diversity and Steven choose small bands. then it went to hell. i liked the old VJ's with Julia and Marianella. and Dylan! i miss Oven Fresh and that dedication show one b/c they had a good variety of videos too.

Oven fresh was a sweet show too! It's been so long I've forgotten what most of their programming was. At least they've shed Pants Off Dance Off
