Worst Current Network/Channel on TV?

I got the idea to start this thread from here. Anyway, I'm going to break things down in both cable and broadcast (i.e. ABC, CBS, CW, Fox, NBC, etc.), and try to give me a good reason why.

The Military Channel. Grossly inaccurate when it comes to factoids of history and quite pro-American even for an American-based channel IMO. Also quite hideously repetitive when it comes to its shows.

History Channel has been braindead the last times I've watched it. There's just more edutainment rather than education, especially when it comes to their programs on prehistoric animals. It's like watching Jurassic Park more than anything. There's also the programs that have zero to do with history like Pawn Stars.

History Channel Canada. It's all CSI in primetime now... The CRTC even considered pulling it's licence.

HITLER! HITLER! HITLER! JETS! HITLER! HITLER! NAZIS! HITLER!

And that will be your program schedule for the day.

My personal vote is truTV in the U.S. Watch one program to see everything wrong with "Reality" TV now days. And you only need to watch one, because it's just the same scripted crap over and over again. Seriously, how many scripted shows do we need on TV about Repo Men?

I assume it'd be cheating to just say FOX News, right?

Will not agree with that, but only because I dont want political flaming to start!

[King Snarf]

I'll just say that, politics aside, FOX News has attacked both Mr. Rogers and the Muppets. If you don't like either, then I've no place for you in my heart.

[Stephaniebot]

Love the Muppets, Miss Piggy is my avvie on one board I'm a member of

You have to allow for the fact that this is a Brit being diplomatic about US television!

And a masterful job you're doing, too.

In 1976, NBC unveiled a new logo to replace their ubiquitous peacock. It was fancy-looking N made up of two trapezoids, and it cost more than $600,000 to develop. Thing is, a Nebraska PBS affiliate already had a similar-looking logo – which only cost $100 to design. To avoid a lawsuit, NBC paid a $1 million package to the Nebraska station, along with another $55,000 to, according to Mental Floss, "pay for the costs related to not only the legal battle, but the development and implementation of a new logo."

Moral of the story: NBC has been a screw-up for years; it's only become particularly noticeable in the network's awkward post-"Seinfeld"/"Friends"/"E.R"-era. And that sucks, because they've aired some of the best TV shows of all-time. That's why they're so easy to pick on: we tease because we love. Here are 12 reasons why NBC is in last place amongst the Big Four, with some helpful advice, too.

NBC would also like me to remind you to WATCH "SMASH," THE MONDAY AFTER THE SUPER BOWL, in case you haven't seen the ads for the show every three seconds for the last two months.
