If a la carte channel choices were available, which would you choose?

[Kitsa]

Our channel lineup here is about 90% nonsense BS.

If I had a plan where I could choose, say, 10 channels for a discounted price and have ONLY those twenty, I would choose (in no particular order):

1) Our local Fox affiliate
2) BBC America
3) The History Channel
4) Discovery
5) Cartoon Network
6) ESPN
7) IFC
8) Chiller (because of the Monsters/Tales from the Darkside/Freddy's Nightmares availability)
9) Spike
10) PBS/Sprout


Which would you choose?

[elx]

1. comedy central (why does no one else like this in here? :( )
2. science
3. documentary
4. cnn
5. showtime
6. nbc
7. boomerang
8. amc
9. tbs
10. food network

[executioneer]

mostly people dont like comedy central because they like comedy

[captain516]

Oh man, I must absolutely HATE comedy then

[executioneer]

so is it not still awful then

i havent had cable in 3 years but it was pretty fucking bad then, apart from daily show

[Kitsa]

When standup comedy was really, really big, comedy central was great. I think it was called Comedy Channel or Comedy Network or something back then. They actually showed standup. Jeff Foxworthy had a mullet. Janeane Garofalo's bit was about losing good "tapes" in her apartment fire, not CDs.

[executioneer]

and MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER >:

[Pentegarn]

I like lists :)

1) ESPN
2) TBS
3) CBS
4) Discovery Channel
5) Food Network
6) ABC

That's probably about it

[Dimnos]

Tosh and South Park and the only things remotely worth watching on CC anymore and both of those shows are only great about 1/3 of the time.

[Tadao]

Tosh and Daily Show. South Park has sucked for 3 to 4 seasons in a row now.

[captain516]

Tosh is alright. I mainly watch Comedy Central for the crappy movies :/

[Fathom Zero]

I take it back. Fuck TV.
