Favorite Channel Networks/ Whatever they're called
 

So what channels do we prefer to watch? I was thinking of putting up a poll, but there's a hell of a lot of channels. X3 so from CN, Nick, Disney, ComedyCentral, TNT, AMC, TLC, CW 57, PBS, TruTv, BET, LMN, Syfy, MTV, Boomerang, etc... etc...

I used to really enjoy Cartoon Network, Nick, and Disney, but lately I haven't been watching them so much. I only watch Nick for the Turtles, and CN for some adult swim.

Recently my favorite channels would have to be TruTv (For World's Dumbest, Carbanaro Effect, Top 20 most Shocking, and Impractical Jokers), Chiller (For Ripley's Believe it or Not, and some movies they show), and Comedy Central (For Tosh.o, and Key and Peele.)

EDIT: Crap. This probably belongs in the TV/Movie section. Ahhh. I gotta ask someone to move this I think.

I enjoy CBS a lot. It's aired some of my favorite shows over the years like How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. I kinda lost interest in Cartoon Network, but every now and then I'll tune in just to watch an episode of Teen Titans Go!; If you enjoy Adult Swim, TBS is a great station to watch repeats of Family Guy and Robot Chicken; For a while, I also only tuned into Nickelodeon to watch TMNT, but I recently started getting into a new show they have called Henry Danger.

There are shows I like on most of the American networks/channels, but I will list a few favourites:

HBO. Home to some brilliant stuff. I've seen all of The Wire, True Detective, Tales From The Crypt and The Sopranos. I've seen a large part of Deadwood and Carnivale. I have seen the first seasons of True Blood and Six Feet Under. I'm almost up to date with Game of Thrones. I haven't seen any of Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom or Band of Brothers yet (the last case is unforgivable seeing as it's only a ten episode miniseries so easy to get through). But the overall point is that HBO have created some of the greatest shows in history.

Netflix. Funnily enough I said about 20 minutes ago that they're changing the game. Subscription streaming allows them to create their own shows and send out entire seasons at once. I'm not really interested in the watercooler effect so I love this. Looking forward to Marco Polo on December 12 and Daredevil next year. The downside of this sort of programming is that you can watch an entire season in a few nights and then have to wait almost an entire year for the next season.

Showtime. Really enjoyed the first four seasons of Dexter, and I like Homeland too. Masters of Sex is good and I believe Weeds is on Showtime as well (although I've only seen a few eps of that).

FX. Very underrated channel. I've seen all of American Horror Story, the first two seasons of The Shield, and quite enjoyed The Bridge before it was cancelled. Fargo is fantastic too. The Americans is on my to do list, and even though I haven't seen them yet, Justfied and Sons of Anarchy look like they'd be enjoyable. This channel has probably seen the biggest transformation over the last ten years.

AMC. Not a big fan of most of their shows, but they have Breaking Bad and Mad Men. I've seen all of the former and the first season of the latter, and they were fantastic. The Walking Dead is entertaining, even if it's an average show in terms of quality. Even if I didn't have Mad Men to look forward to, the channel deserves a shout out simply because of Breaking Bad.

PBS, the History Channel and National Geographic. Really good for documentaries on a variety of subjects including from war, empire climate change, skyscrapers and architecture, dinosaurs, serial killers etc. I don't watch as many documentaries as I should but when I do the ones on these channels are of the highest quality.

SyFy. They're not great these days, but they've had the excellent Battlestar Galactica (04 version) in the past, as well as other shows I have heard good things about, such as Warehouse 13. I'd also like to see some of their supernatural shows such as Ghost Hunters and Paranormal Witness (the only sort of reality shows I would watch).

4kids, CBS and Nick - don't really watch anything on them but they've been responsible for airing turtles animated shows. They deserve a mention just for that.

---------------

There are probably more stations but that covers enough for now.

Let's see... The CW, Fox, FX, Spike, USA, Animal Planet, SyFi, Nick, AMC.

That's my main channels. Some may have only one show on them, but those are the channels the tv is always on.

History Channel is fun when its not showing Tinfoil Hat: The Show. Which makes up 90% of it's programing.

Here are some of the networks I watch and the shows I watch on said networks:

NBC: Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.

FOX: Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Glee

USA: WWE Monday Night RAW

SyFy: WWE Friday Night Smackdown

MTV: Teen Mom series, 16 and Pregnant

Bravo: Real Housewives of New Jersey

Spike: Cops

Cloo: Cops, House

Disney Channel: Liv & Maddie, Girl Meets World

Nick: TMNT

And that's all I can think of. If I think of more, I'll add them.

Aliens made you say that.

I don't watch much TV anymore, but when I used to it was the WB and Fox, besides Cartoon Network, that got most of my view time.

TV is garbage nowadays anyway.

Well there's shows I watch on various channels but they're not my favorites....they have a show or 2 I really like. I guess I'll list the ones I frequently use.

Comedy Central - Tosh.0, Key and Peele, South Park and any other special like Roasts.

Cartoon Network/Boomerang - Sonic, Ben 10, Scooby, Robot Chicken, Looney Tunes and reruns.

GSN - The Chase, Family Feud and any classic games shows I've never seen. Its mostly dominated by FF currently.

TV Land - Friends, King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond reruns. They recently added Steve Harvey FF which is soooo stupid. I like it but it does not belong here.

TBS - more reruns and American Dad moved here this season.
-------------------------
Stuff I watch but channel is not really a favorite.

Fox - Bones, Simpsons, Family Guy and Bobs Burgers.

CW - just for Whose line is it Anyway?

Food and Cooking channels - I really enjoy seeing different restaurants and seeing how our favorite foods are made. Like behind the scenes and history of brands. Holiday specials.

Nick - just for TMNT and Power Rangers.
Disney - just for Gravity Falls and Slugterra when it was on.
TruTV - Worlds Worst, Top Funniest and Impractical Jokers but lately it seems self aware. Like its not totally secret anymore.

Forgot to add some, so here they are:

Comedy Central: South Park

TruTV: Hardcore Pawn, South Beach Tow. I also liked Bait Car and Vegas Strip, too.

El Rey Network: Lucha Underground (just got into this yesterday)

Cartoon Network: Teen Titans Go!

Basically AMC, Comedy, BBC, and FX or FXX.
Seems most anything I watch recently is on AMC or BBC. My service provider dropped Comedy so I'm still crossed on that. FX and FXX has a few good shows I enjoy.

How do you know it's garbage if you never watch it?

I'm incredibly disappointed that some people here like Teen Titans Go. If anyone saw the original, they'd know that the new one is certainly not a worthy successor. It wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't trying to be Teen Titans. It also wouldn't be as awful, if Cartoon Network still aired action cartoons. But they don't. Instead we get Uncle Grandpa and Teen Titans Go. The only superhero cartoons on these days are, aside from the aforementioned, Disney XD's Trifecta of Tryingly Trashy Television, also known as Marvel Universe.

He does that. A lot. :trolleye:

FBK, I get that you may not like that particular show, but please don't slam those of us who do enjoy it. I just think it's a fun show and it makes me laugh, so that's why I enjoy it.

Forgot to add A&E to my list. I watch that for Beyond Scared Straight.

Have you ever seen Teen Titans from the 00's?

As much as I loved the classic Teen Titans animated series, I've taken a liking to this new interpretation. Sure it's never serious and Robin acts like a total schmuck, but the heart of the original cartoon is still there.

Is it, though? If the show wasn't claiming to be Teen Titans, there wouldn't be a problem. It's less Teen Titans, than the original TMNT is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is saying a lot. Kids watching Cartoon Network today are getting the short end of the stick even compared to kids watching it less than 3 years ago. To me, the Animation Age Ghetto and the "it's for kids" excuse is an issue just as serious as the lack of equal representation in the media.

Yes, I did, and I liked it just as much as I like this new interpretation. Just as Jeph said, the heart of the show is still there. It's just a more lighthearted version that doesn't take itself seriously. And I'm the type to like a show like that. And at least they still have the original voice cast. I think I wouldn't like it as much if the cast wasn't there and they had chosen other people.

Now this part of your argument I actually agree with. The shows they have on now like Gumball, Stephen Universe and whatnot pale in comparison to the awesome programs they had on that station a decade ago.

Never liked TTG, but that's becuase the artstyle is too cute for me, which I guess matches the tone.

I actually like The Amazing World of Gumball.

Animal Planet is also a good channel.

Oh wait... are we not on topic? :tlol:

Just take Teen Titans Go as another interpretation of a story. It be like comparing Batman The Brave and the Bold to the Animated Series from the 90s.

There are probably kids who feel sorry for the adults that grew up on the original TMNT cartoon.
As long as it brings in new fans and introduces them to characters like Robin and Cyborg, etc. In time they will find the comics and the original/previous/other cartoons.

Except that Brave and the Bold is at least overall decent, and Teen Titans Go might put them off because of how lazy the humor is.

Forgot to add ABC Family to my list. I watch that channel for Switched at Birth, Pretty Little Liars, Twisted, and Chasing Life. I also used to watch The Lying Game, but I think that show got cancelled, which is a shame.

I like:
Disney Channel (some shows)
Food Network
HGTV
Travel Channel
ABC Family on occasion. I did like the first season of Switched at Birth, but I think it jumped the shark during it's current seasons.
Hallmark Channel, there's some great heartwarming movies on there.
Nickelodeon (I like the teen comedies and the new tmnt show)

Yeah, my mom likes HGTV and watches it all of the time.

I like to watch House Hunters and House Hunters International on there.
