Old (Insert Channel Name) Channel Shows
« on: July 22, 2010, 06:15:54 am »
Remember when the History Channel hadn't ran out of actual history to cover and didn't use conspiracy theories for several hours of shows per day? I do, not by much (damn you, youth!), and I miss it. The Most is on at the time of writing, and I was inspired to make this thread. Early morning is the only time to catch these shows anymore, but other channels don't run their old programs at all anymore. Everyone associates Mike Rowe with Dirty Jobs these days, despite hosting The Most for awhile. So, anyone else miss the shows of years ago?

Great Chefs and Great Chefs of the World on Discovery. Awesome things were made on those shows.

Any/all of the classic Nicktoons, of course, along with Inspector Gadget, and other transplanted SMCs of the time that were moved to that channel; Classic Disney when they still aired the classic cartoons, and some of their adventure shows (Rescue Rangers and such). Hell, Loony Tunes and Tom and Jerry (though still airing on Cartoon Network again) were a sight for sore eyes. Freakazoid, Animaniacs. And what the hell, classic [adult swim] with Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Cartoon Planet. And not to forget on Nick's part, some of the classic game shows and Space Cases as well as The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

Who's Line is it Anyway (all seasons) on ABC or Comedy Central (especially with the British episodes). Modern Masters on TLC (I think); some badass crafts made on that show. Dr. Katz, The Critic, Kids in the Hall, Classic SNL.

Hell, the days before having the ability to record live-TV, the internet and all it's media searching and such, hell, even a rather convenient guide on-command. I used to go by trial and error and time my schedules to watch shows I wanted to catch. And I didn't even have the convenience of knowing which episode would be on.

Ah, those were the days. Childhood was, so to put it, fun. It was a challenge to get what you want back then. Nowadays, it's just too damn easy. Not to sound like an old man, or anything.

Just have to emphasize the awesomeness of Pete & Pete with the first episode of epicness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiFWyZjwykg

Bugs bunny and the others.

Also the big once per year show down between them. That was a event to look forward to.

The old Nicktoons Cartoons, Loony Tunes on Cartoon Network, Tom And Jerry, If I remember I wanted to see that Indiana Jones TV Series, and Futurama on Adult Swim. That is all I miss, really.

I believe that TLC stands for Toddlers, Little people, and Cake.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

I remember when TLC was 24/7 power tools, engineering and robot fights.

I miss when MTV used to do shows like the maxx, aeon flux and even beavis and butthead. And when they showed music videos for most of their air time.

I also miss when adult swim had genuinly entertaining shows.

Adult Swim has a bunch of good shows still.  It has at least one thing I could enjoy each night.

Yeah, The Boondocks and Venture Brothers keep it good for me. Since I'm also too young to have watched King of the Hill from the start, and the're re-runing the whole show at the moment, that helps as well.

Besides, Adult Swim calling Comedy Central sissy bitches for complaining about their advertizing Children's Hospital was awesome.
