Favorite Network

READ BEFORE VOTING :

The networks I'm refering to does NOT include the cable channels. There are 4 main networks and a couple of small ones. These are the channels you find listed under "Basic Channels" in your newspaper


what's your favorite network and why?

i like fox mostly because of their awesome network sports coverage (NOT talking about fox sports net).

fox is also the underdog, and i like to root for the underdog.

nbc comes in a close 2nd

Fox all the way. The only other network that has a show worth watching is NBC with scrubs.

I second that motion.

But, in the options provided, I guess NBC cause I enjoy their sports line-up.

I mostly don't watch TV.
Which is ironic, because I used be a big TV person.
If anything, I just use it to watch a movie or two.

It just doesn't matter anymore.

I work for MTV... CBS is a part of the Viacom family so it gets my vote.

Since Viacom has purchased CBS, it's gotten alot better...

If i didn't work for Viacom... I'd have to say none, because I don't like broadcast TV.

None of the above.

If Im watching it's either one of the Discovery Channels, TLC, or History channel

I watch MTV for "Punked" and Sci-Fi for "Scare Tactics"

If I had to pick one, I picked Fox. Personally though, I'm pretty appalled by the crap that network television puts out on the airwaves for us to view, meanwhile anything WORTH watching is either shelved or cancelled after just a few episodes.

Fox. They have 24, Fastlane (since cancelled. bastards), Keen Eddie, American Idol, the best NFL coverage, the best Nascar coverage (NBC's sucks) and The Shield (ok, so its Fx. whatever).

Edit: Looking at the poll results, it looks like Fox is definitely appealing to their targeted 18-39 demographic

I just like Fox alot for their comedies, but they are also definitely the most ridiculously over the top with these damn reality shows. That shit annoys me, but Fox is still tops.

Fox has the best sunday night lineup it gets me through the week. I still can't believe they got rid of Family Guy, so I guess Cartoon Network would be my second favorite since they hold Family Guy now.

I would have voted Fox, but the ignorant short sighted bastards cancelled Firefly aftergiving it zero promotion and completely fucking up the programme order of the one series they comissioned, then only partly aired.

Fox carried out one of the most inventive and meticulously planned fuckups since Earl Haig recommended advancing slowly in lines toward German Machine Guns and THEN claim Firefly didn't make the ratings!!!

Not a big TV person, haven't watched anything besides news for a long while. Weird since we own a big screen. I watch a bunch of DVD movies though. My vote goes to NBC 'cause Conan O' Brien's on there. Haven't watched his show in a while, but it's hilarious.

i don't watch any of those. aside from the very few funny shows they run (simpsons and others like it), the only thing they show are retarded sitcoms, retarded "reality" shows or retarded "cop" shows. they are all the same.
