I was thinking about the marked change of many of the channels that played classic TV from 85-95 and their decension into virtual garbage. Remember?
Ha Network/ Early Comedy Channel - Camp Runamuck and Captain Nice to name a few, I may be wrong but I think they might have run Operation Petticoat too.
Nick at Nite - No examples necessary. You all now them well. Let's just say going from I Spy to George Lopez is a huge jump
CBN - I can't even believe I once watched I Married Joan in the morning on here. They had a ton of rare great stuff.
USA in the AM - They had their share of good stuff too. He and She and It's Your Move actually ran on there (albeit cut badly).
TBS to some degree -Once upon a time their morning and afternoons once had some really great programming. Bob Newhart, One Day at a Time, Alice, Mason, Griffith, Hillbillies, etc.
SCI Fi - Invaders, Voyage, etc,
The one that really sickens me is TV Land. Their initial lineup was nothing short of increbible. Mannix, Cannon, Fantasy Island, Batman/Green Hornet, Dynasty, Petticoat, etc. They even had The Ghost and Mrs. Muir as I recall. They run COMPLETE garbage now. IMO.
As an aside, as a late 70's/early 80's teen, don't even get me started with MTV. What they did to that channel was a complete travesty ( then they turned around and did the same thing with VHI and M2 once they finished "gutting" the original.
All these channels have turned into complete garbage now. IMO
