Those buffoons running TVLand must be on drugs.

Their definition of classic TV?

-Weekend at Bernies.
-White Men Can't Jump.

What in hades do those 1990s movies have to do with television, let along classic TV?

The original poster is right. TVL is dead.

Dear Lord who would ever want to watch any of those shows [Family Matters, Full House, Boy Meets World, Step By Step, etc.] anyways? : ;D

I actually like "Family Matters" and "Step By Step." I also like "Perfect Strangers."

There used to be a time when cable channels specialized, and you could dip into one channel whenever you felt like it and sample the offerings. You could watch one channel for comedy, one for drama, one for music, one for fine arts, one for movies, and so on.

Then the big media conglomerates got blinded by $$$MONEY$$$ and decided they had to "maximize the audience" and so all the narrowcast channels became homogenized LCD crap.
