Cop shows. I need a Law and Order network. Five hours a night just isn't enough! I need my Detective Stabler fix.
What do you think there should be a channel devoted to?

Great TV shows (as per my approval).
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
I'd like a channel dedicated to super hero cartoons. Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, X-Men, Justice League, etc. It'd be good stuff.
Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :
You already have two cable channels that show almost nothing but Law and Order, ya junkie.
Posted by pH (Member # 1350) on :
But they only show Law and Order like, at night! Not before 6 or 7pm! And not when they decide to show some movie instead.
I need more. MORE! BRAINS! ...I mean, uh, SVU!

Try Cartoon Network for the cartoons. Unless you want to stipulate that the tv channels each show
1. Only Marvel Comics 2. Only DC Comics
Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :
Eh, Cartoon Network typically only has DC stuff (stuff that airs first on Cartoon Network or aired previously on WB!). I want Marvel stuff in there as well.
Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
Oooh Yeah!! Give me that L&O lovin'! As a matter of fact, I just got done watching an episode of SVU (on USA).
I tell you though, I get really sick of my significant other whining "Haven't we seen this episode three times already?"
One deadly look silences him for the hour.

If there were a law and order/csi network, I would never see my wife again.

Val: I must admit, I have a crush on Stabler.
He seems like the nicest guy ever.
But weren't he and his wife having problems?

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :
They were but I think they're working on them.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Law and Order and SVU show almost non-stop from, like, 2 in the afternoon until midnight.

There's already a channel for me. The Speed Channel.

A Firefly channel... (ideally one that shows new episodes)

In the last new episode, he confessed to Benson that she filed for divorce. I think.
Which will make one of my friends veerrrrrry happy, as she's convinced that Stabler and Olivia need to get together.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
First of all, there are way too many TV channels as it is, specializing in any tiny little niche of interest out there.
Second of all, there is still nothing on that interests me, except the channels that run vintage films.
But we already have those.
Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
A channel that runs reruns of all the new shows that came out that week. So I can watch all of the tv shows I want without having to catch them at some specific time.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
I already have my "own" channel. It's called my computer.

Asia's not very specific, i assume you're reffering to martial arts, or were you talking about Russian flicks?
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Perhaps Bollywood?

When I was in high school, there was a channel that showed all 80's music videos, all the time. I think it was called MT something.
I wonder whatever happened to it. That was a good idea.

Well... I actually thought about registering the domain thesnuffchannel.com at one point. I figure that's the likely end-point to this reality TV business. Slay-TV.

What you really need is TiVo.
Besides, it's on 2-4 (EST) pm on TNT.

You have so much more faith in the American public than I do.

TJWC. The Joss Whedon Channel.
Except of course, I already have most of his stuff on DVD.

No. But I try.
Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :
I would support an all-Whedon 24/7 television network.
As to SVU: Stabler has broken up with his wife and it doesn't look like they'll get back together. In fact, in less he pulls his act together, I doubt he'll even be able to keep his badge. And having said that, Olivia once slept with that guy, the twitchy detective whom Ice-T replaced, and she was mad at herself for doing it because it made things way too awkward.

Yes, I mean any film from Asia or the Asian sub-continent, as you so cleverly assumed...

Wait, wait. Which one did Olivia sleep with, and when was this? I don't remember her ever sleeping with anybody! I'm so out of the loop.
Also, what did Stabler do that he might not be able to stay a cop?

The Library of Congress Channel
"Almost as much skin as C-SPAN"
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
C-SPAN is great though! I watch it from time to time, or have it on in the background.
It's especially great when they have the House of Commons on. THAT is great television.
Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 are channels I flip past on my way to ESPN and ESPN2. Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
Me. That's all I have to say about the subject. My friends and I always say that there's so much drama in our lives that there really needs to be a show about us and our lives. Sort of like the Truman Show, but less creepy.
Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
Can't remember his name. He was partnered up with the old guy. Ice-T came in and replaced him. Anyways, Olivia slept with him as a bit of a one-night stand. He wanted to make something of it and she wanted to put it out of mind.
And Stabler's been . . . erratic. Violent, occasionally. Beat up a friend of his, another cop, because they guy was beating up his son. But still . . . he's losing touch with reality and no good can come of his current track.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
ooooooo Anime.
Make it specific.
A Gundam Channel.

The young guy who was embarassingly new to being a cop? Wow, that must've been a while ago, then. I like Ice-T better anyway. Team Ice-T!
And poor Stabler. He just needs a hug.

Dir en grey Anime A music channel that ACTUALLY PLAYS MUSIC! Opera, jazz, rock and roll, the whole nine yards. All opera all the time. No game show network. Foreign movies with a lot of nudity in them, subtitles and somewhat depressing plots. Samurai movies. Things with swords in them. All documentaries all the time. Shows about people building things and making things.
quote:The MST3K Channell, that MST3K's what is on other random channels.
Now there's a good idea! And it should also make fun of these stupid commercials. A network that has all the shows I liked that got cancelled just to annoy me. A network that has all the shows I hate on it so that they are not on ordinary nextworks.

I can't specify it to one type of Anime. I like all different kinds. Right now I'm into Shonen Jump series.
Posted by littlemissattitude (Member # 4514) on :
I'd like to have a channel that shows Classic Arts Showcase 24/7. Here in Fresno, the local channel owned by the Catholic Diocese runs it from around midnight to six a.m., and at odd times during the day when they don't have any other programming, but the only time I ever get to see it is when I have insomnia. They show all kinds of cool stuff. I'm not too keen on the opera, but there's ballet and there's clips from old films, including documentaries, really experimental animation pieces from the thirties and forties, and a bunch of other interesting things.
Oh, and an Archaeology Channel. I really, really, really want an Archaeology Channel. PBS and Discovery and like that do some, but not nearly enough for my taste.

The Classic Arts Showcase channel - I wish we had that out here in Indiana, where I go to school. It's great! I also loved that channel because it would show BBC news in multiple languages - I got to practice my German.
