What is the worst TV network?

Submitted by Calm-Hovercraft9858 t3_z5hizo in television

I think the worst TV network currently has to be Nickelodeon. Hate their shows, hate their commercials they run on that channel, hate everything about their ambition. Just a terrible all around horrible and trashy network with unfunny and poorly written shows now. They used to have classic shows like All That and ICarly but after ICarly ended its original run the entire network went to trash. What is the worst TV network in your opinion?

Comedy Central is quite a misnomer these days.

TLC. It's 24 hours of boring trash that is specifically designed to be boring trash.

i don't think anything has been worse for the country than CNN / Fox News / MSNBC.

otherwise, there's a lot of networks that i think are filled with useless or boring programming, but some people seem to get value out of most of them so why would i care when i can just as easily ignore them myself. i, too, think the programming on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel pales in comparison to what they had in my childhood, but i'm a 34 year old man now and my 7 year old nephew seems to like what they're offering

Pick a satellite/rabbit-ear TV channel, any one will do (unless it’s MeTV.)

I saw an ad on comedy central recently for their weekday lineup, which is Seinfeld and The Office. Doesn’t matter what new stuff they put out, it’s not going to do better than two network TV shows whose heyday is long past.

No you aged out of a channel that is meant for children with different tastes.

The CW

It’s known so much as a bad network, that when a new show comes out that looks cheap, people will say it looks like a CW show.

The one I watch the least of is NBC

I don’t have cable anymore so it’s hard to say what is worst passed the main networks for me.

All the broadcast and cable channels have become crap because their owners are all focused on streaming which while it is the future is also a massive blackhole of money.

The channel owners complain about cable cutting as they themselves kill their own channels by depriving them of content.

This time next year The CW network probably won’t even be here thanks to Nextar. They’ve already cancelled 14+ series and counting this year. Which is sad because I really liked their programming from the other big 4 networks

CNN

A channel run by fantasists for fantasists. No wonder it's dying.

It is a close contest between the History Channel and TLC. The winner would have to be TLC used to be fun and interesting and have really cool programs about science but when it made the switch to reality TV in an attempt to boast ratings most of the other networks followed.

Sure there are bad things about Discovery and History but Pawn Stars, Ax Men and Ice Road truckers would never have been a thing unless TLC proved it could be profitable. And as much as I hate History Channel programming 95% of the time at least they never pitched Toddlers and Tiaras as a concept.

Seriously anyone who pitched the concept of T&Ts never needs to be in charge of producing a television show ever again.

oh, the three are pretty much the same, though at least Fox has realized the last president is a loser (just look at those midterm results) and has stopped giving him quite so much attention

Any of the former "Educational Channels". History Channel, Science Channel, TLC, etc. They all had their original programming replaced with trash reality shows. In fact, I'd argue that naming Good TV networks would take less time than naming all the terrible TV networks now that Cable/Satellite is basically dead.

IFC used to put on really great sometimes weird films and now its nearly all re-runs of shows and average movies.
