What broadcast channels could you do without?

I watch NOTHING on the three in thread title. I could probably do without CBS as well, but I do catch Survivor & Everybody Loves Raymond sometimes.


BTW, multiple votes are allowed above.

Currently, the only one I could live without is PAX.

ABC has Alias
CBS has Letterman
NBC has The West Wing
FOX has Andy Richter
WB has Angel
UPN has Buffy

I'm not prepared to ever miss one of these shows (or numerous others on each network). After Buffy finishes this season, though, there may be no reason to ever return to UPN.

Fox just yanked Andy from the schedule, replacing its Sunday slot with a rerun of Malcolm in the Middle. TV Tome claims it's going to return in March, but...I dunno. Hopefully Paramount opts for a DVD release.

Though Fox does yank series without remorse, they do give a lot of series a shot that would never have had a chance on any other network.

I watch Buffy and Angel, covering the WB and UPN, but I don't watch anything on 'the big three'.

MrX

PAX right now.

I'm agree with das on UPN, after Buffy is gone I'll have no reason to watch it.

what is PAX?

Its in the teens, range of channels, so I guess its a local network, but I don't think I've ever watched anything on it. Maybe it mirrors another network that I watch......

I don't watch anything on PAX, also very few things on NBC.

WB- Angel, Dawson's Creek, Everwood, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Surreal Life
CBS - CSI, Without a Trace, Survivor, CSI:Miami
UPN - Buffy, Enterprise, Twilight Zone
FOX - 24, John Doe, Simpsons, American Idol
ABC - Alias, The Practice
NBC - American Dreams, Boomtown

Some of these shows I could live without: CSI: Miami, Enterprise, Twilight Zone, John Doe, American Dreams

lwhy?

I also do not watch anything on Pax. I watch four shows on Fox Boston Public, Malcom, 24, and Andy. I watch WB the most, Everwood, 7th Heaven, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Angel, and I watch the Friday night lineup enjoy Reba, What I Like about you, and greetings from Tucson. I watch a few sitcoms on ABC My Wife and Kids and Eight Simple Rules. On NBC I watch American Dreams, Ed, Friends, Scrubs, Good Morning Miami and ER. On CBS I only watch Survivor, Amazing Race, and college and pro football.

OK, I'll give you all something to watch on PAX

Check out "Dirty Rotten Cheaters" tonight at 8PM on PAX, a cross between "The Mole" and "Family Feud", and it all wraps up nicely at the end of the hour!

I don't watch PAX, and it's shoved in the back of my cable lineup, since it's not a local affiliate station for me.

Technically, nothing will fold anytime soon. PAX is partially owned by NBC, UPN is owned by CBS/Viacom, and FOX is owned by Newscorp. Unless something major happened out of the blue, those tiny lil' networks wil stay in business for quite some time.

MrX

Fox must have a series of specials filled with footage of dogs humping things or something pretty close to it to air instead.

Groucho

Isn't PAX some sort of religious network?

calhoun07

Something like that. They try to provide shows that "Christians" would watch, because we all know in the WWJD age, Jesus WOULD watch Pax.

Personally, I think all should be allowed to be on. There is far more crap on cable that continues year after year that I find more worthless than any of the aforementioned networks. But I did vote for Pax. I think the only thing I watched on that was Christy.

GuessWho

Yes, and I included it here because last time I did a similar poll, I got several posts telling me I should've included it

Fox and NBC are about the only networks i would care about. Though i do watch Letterman sometimes, but i could live without
CBS

mookiemeister

PAX at least has the Supermarket Sweep. UPN has no program I'm interested in watching. If there are too many broadcast stations and one should go, I vote for UPN to go first.

jonw9

Fox could go, but I did not vote for them just for the Simpsons. The rest of the line up I could do with-out, although Sunday evening shows are OK.

UPN,PAX,WB I never watch.

Deftones

I could do without PAX and the WB. The only reason to watch the WB is b/c of the Simpsons reruns. PAX is completely worthless to me. I can't say UPN, though, b/c Enterprise is on there.

nightwing82

Looks like I just don't watch UPN...

NBC - In Laws, Frasier, Friends, Scrubs, Good Morning Miami, ER
CBS - King of Queens, Yes Dear, Raymond
ABC - 8 Simple Rules, Less than Perfect, Celebrity Mole
WB - Brids of Prey, Reba
FOX - American Idol 2
PAX - Supermarket Sweep

big whoppa

That's cool. I occasionally watch Supermarket Sweep on PAX but that's it. Otherwise, PAX and especially WB and UPN are absolutely worthless to me.

On the other hand, I watched FOX alot even before they became the fourth network. Tracey Ullman, Herman's Head, Married with Children, 21 Jump Street and of course, The Simpsons were my early favorites.

clemente

PAX - don't count it as a major, but whatever, I don't watch.
UPN - a goner, the last thing I watched on there was a Will Freidle sitcom that lasted three episodes.

FOX - save John Doe, I have no use for Fox, Simpsons I much prefer the syndicated re-runs.
ABC - except for Alias, its a goner too.

mikehunt

isn't PAX just sappy reruns of shows that push their morals on you, and religious programming?
