Re: Why isn't there a PREMIUM 'classic TV' channel?
Gone to Hell? TVLand IS Hell. I refuse to watch edited versions of anything, so they're out of consideration automatically just for that. I haven't watched since they showed uncut All in the Family, but then they sent it to Nick at Nite and switched to the cut versions because the ratings for the uncut versions were so good (maybe because they were uncut), and those are what is now running on TV Bland. That's the textbook definition of "schmuck."
I totally agree about TV Bland showing movies. Do you see The Movie Channel showing The Andy Griffith Show?
Is there a single Viacom channel that has not been completely bastardized from its original intent?

Re: Why isn't there a PREMIUM 'classic TV' channel?
My local cable system has recently added a whole new bunch of channels- with the switch to digital happening soon, and with more competition for local franchises, the need for such a channel should be adressed! Besides, after a few months I'm sure there are new people who can voice their opinions on this topic!
Bring "The continuing story of PEYTON PLACE" home on DVD: the one that started it all- from Dallas and Dynasty to Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl!!! Starting this May, see the legendary saga starring Mia Farrow, Ryan O'Neal, Barbara Parkins, and Oscar-winner Dorothy Malone on DVD thru Shout!...

Well, they cut so many corners they can't not be making some profit.
