Why does Nick@Nite even still exist? If I were Nick I'd just put my normal stuff on 24/7 like Disney does.
[/quote]I used to go "OH WHAT IS THIS BLACK AND WHITE STUFF?!!" when I was a kid but now that Nick sucks dick, Nick @ Nite IS the channel to me. I'd have no other reason to tune in to it, well that is if I still had the channel.

I do think that Nick should at least occupy the channel until at least 9 PM again.

I'd also love for them to put on some of the 90's Nick shows on, primarily the ones that The 90's Are All That barely touch. You can watch all of these other shows on syndication, other networks, or on DVD, and it'd cost them nothing to put shows like Clarissa, Pete & Pete or Alex Mack on.

Man, you know, thinking about it, I'd do some major renovations to Nick@Nite.

First of all, it needs more variety. I don't even mean variety in terms of different kinds of shows- as cool as it would be to see something other than sitcoms on the block for a change, that's primarily all the network has been airing since around the mid-90's. The days of catching Dragnet and Alfred Hitchcock repeats alongside classic Lucy and Bewitched eps are long gone. You can still air nothing but sitcoms, but try to air more than the same 3 or 4. Just go back to shows airing on TV Land if you don't want to buy the rights to more shows. And again, you can try some older Nick shows as well.

You don't even need to bring back some classics, but I don't think it'd hurt to try really. Everything that has been airing on the block over the past few years have been syndicated to death over the past few years, which explains the low ratings. Stuff like Bewitched, Taxi, Jeannie, MTM, etc have been ignored for a longer period of time, and could easily gain some viewers who are tired of the same Friends and George Lopez repeats airing all fucking night.

And put some effort back in. Nick@Nite used to have games, contests and specialty marathons all the time. Now they just air Friends for hours on end with no rhyme or reason.

Yeah, I haven't watched the block since Friends mania returned to it. It's all they show now. There are more fitting recent sitcoms that would work like Reba or even one of the TGIF shows. Friends has been aired to death on every channel already, I can't believe everyone isn't sick of it yet.

This scene is everything that's wrong with reality shows in one 30 second clip.

Can someone explain to me why the Teen Wolf show is getting attention? Is there really anything more to it than MTV trying to cash in on the supernatural craze going on?

Can someone explain to me how Dexter has been on for over seven years? There's a concept that makes less sense the longer it lasts.

To be fair, LaGuerta, Batista, and Quinn are kind of dumbasses. The only reason he hasn't been caught yet is that Doakes didn't live long enough.

Remember when TLC was The Learning Channel?

Fuck everything.

Fun fact: The mom is 32 and the oldest daughter is 17. That means she gave birth at age 15.

That also happens to be the one who's pregnant.

If only she could've got lucky a year earlier, then we wouldn't have had to wait this long to see them on TV.

Yeah, go watch this lovely new season of Breaking Bad instead.

Some people really like watching trainwrecks, and for those who do, this shit will continue to be greenlit. I don't approve, but so be it.

I nearly vomited when I saw this clip on Daft's FB.
