TLC used to have a bunch of good shows on. Now all it is, is fvcking home decorating...

I admit it, Trading Spaces is a decent show, so is Clean Sweep... but damn... That is the only thing that is on!

No more Forensic shows, History shows, few Medical shows, NO SCIENCE shows...


ARG! Now I am stuck with Discovery and History when I wanna get my learn on.

Yeah, my gf watches a *lot* of Clean Sweep and such and now my TiVo is automatically grabbing just about everything on there -- and it's ALL home improvement game show stuff (for lack of a better term). It's nice that they found a niche that works for them, but it should be The Let Strangers Come Into Your House And Fix Stuff Channel instead of The Learning Channel.

Even Discovery has changed quite a bit with the Monster * shows. Don't tell me that the History Channel's going to sell out and abandon the All-Hitler-All-The-Time programming next (and if they already have, I apologize).

Uhh, just watch the Science Channel. It's always had higher quality programming with some intellectually redeeming value.

Hahahaha, All Hitler all the Time... hahaha soooo true... At least they are showing Band of Brothers. :D

And yeah, I am starting to Hate the Monster Shows too... Where are all the Wildlife Shows? Science Shows?

ARG!

Yeah, I admit that I never really watched the wildlife/science/Wings shows, but it was nice to know that they were there in case I was ever bored. I remember when Discovery's claim to fame was to watch animals get it on. Now it's to watch some old guy with a funny mustache yell at his dumbass son in a garage, heh.

The only monster show I watch now is Monster House and that show could basically be renamed Guess What Fire Shoots Out Of This Time? It works as a compromise for my gf and me, so I don't have to watch Trading Spaces (I do watch Clean Sweep with her, though).

I love all TLC shows, except the car ones.

yea, I really think they should change their name to The Decorating Channel or something, TLC in the past isn't TLC in the present

Agree, I hate the home decorating shows. I don't consider someone of the mental caliber of the girls on those shows 'hot' though, regardless of what they look like...

I love going home to my parents' house because they have Dish Network. I love Animal Planet, Science Channel, National Geographic... etc.

Yeah, I used to love TLC too, now I never watch it for the same reasons. Discovery and History are usually pretty good still.

While I like Trading Spaces, my favorite TLC show is Maternity Ward. They need more shows of that type to balance out all of that decorating stuff (I don't watch any of the other ones...they are only on there to cash in on the success of Trading Spaces anyway).

TLC...makes me think of this ditty I used to sing back in the day

"don't go chasin' water bongs...just stick to the joints and the pipes that you're used to"
