Your Favorite Channel?

Simple question. For me it's a close tie between AMC and FX, but FX has still produced more shows (Rescue Me, The Shield, Justified, Nip/Tuck, Louie, It's Always Sunny) that I like than AMC (Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Mad Men)

No HBO or Showtime or BBC? Out of the ones listed, AMC.

HBO.

I don't watch much network TV. I'd prob choose AMC simply because of The Walking Dead.

Re: Your Favorite Channel?

CBS - How I Met Your Mother, Mad Love and Mike & Molly
ABC - Modern Family
AMC - The Walking Dead
FX - Sons of Anarchy, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and The League
CN [as] - Children's Hospital.

Based purely on how many shows I watch on each of those networks, it is a tie between CBS and FX. I would give the slight edge to FX because I enjoy those three shows more than the shows I watch on CBS.

Truthfully though, I would pick HBO and/or Showtime if they were poll options.

Re: Your Favorite Channel?

USA has most of the shows I watch and even their repeats shows are entertaining. But based on the number of shows I watch on each channel, my second choice would be a tie between CBS and the CW. All three of these channels also have the fewest cancellations of shows I get invested in.

FX has given me The Shield, Nip/Tuck, Lucky (if only it came during the poker craze, not just before it), The Riches, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Sons of Anarchy, Justified, and The League. I have even missed a few shows like Damages and Rescue Me.

They have a phenomenal track record in my eyes.

Re: Your Favorite Channel?

I picked NBC out of the 8 channels I watch regularly.

WCMH-4 NBC (004) Saturday Night Live, Parenthood, Community, The Office, Parks And Recreation, 30 Rock

WBNS-10 CBS (010) CBS Evening News, Jeopardy, Wheel Of Fortune

WUPW-36 FOX (016) TMZ, Glee, American Idol

E! (065) Chelsea Lately, After Lately

TV Land (060) Everybody Loves Raymond

WEWS-5 ABC (005) V

Turner Classic Movies (276) & Fox Movie Channel (279) are the two movie channels I watch the most.

Currently I don't think I really have just one. The shows I watch the most aren't on the same channel mostly. Of all time though it'd probably be HBO just because they've produced so many great series through the years.

Re: Your Favorite Channel?

Since TCM was not listed, I'll go with Fx, they do a great job of pushing the envelope. I hate AMC on the movie side, but love them on the original series...

TruTV -- 'Operation Repo' is my new favorite show and the rest of the shows are golden.
