spike tv going away

[doghows72]

YES! I remember a crap ton of fishing shows! They tossed in a couple car shows after you waited through those. I don't think you could even record on a VCR yet. If you don't know what a VCR is go ask your parents, or worse yet grandparents. Crap I'm getting old.

Shade tree mechanic was on air from 1992-2000. It was on the network TNN, so does anyone remember any shows when it was still The Nashville Network? I remember watching it back then but drawing a blank on what I was watching??

Oh man, I had forgotten about TNN! I still think that shadetree guy had a sweet mustache. I can't even remember his name anymore.
I feel like reality tv has killed most of the channels these days. I used to watch history and discovery a lot and now they're nothing but drama like all the others.

I don't watch any of it any more. They all turned into a TV version of Oreilly or Autozone, pushing products and building nothing. Life is too short to waste it on aerosol product commercials.

Same here...but on occasion I'll watch a show on a Saturday morning just to encourage me to get out in the garage (I usually don't need encouragement) but for the same reason I DIScourage the wife from watching home improvement shows

Diamond P Sports - Ya beat me to it! They did a crap load of car racing & my first job in TV was with them back in 1982.

I watched shade tree, can't remember what else I watched back then either%)
wasn't Bill Dance and a couple of other fishing and hunting shows on?

lots of good ones for sure...

Jack Bruce? the show TRUCKS.....on the Nashville Network, waayyy back

 

[sprdv1]

lot of movies, but mostly repeat all weekends We'll see what they come up with

They already show last week's episodes on one of the CBS Sports channels on Saturday mornings. So they already have an enroad there.
When I chose to DVR them I noticed it was recording two different episodes. The DVR system found them on the other channel for me. Love that damn DVR.

But I agree with you Bowsher.
Nothing else on Spike interests me but the Powerblock.
And yes they are basically one long commercial with breaks for ...Well...More commercials, lol...
Some are better than others at disguising the advertising they are doing while you watch.
But as Bowsher said, "What else is there?"
I'll take what ever gear head TV shit I can get.

Ehh...Power Block became a huge commercial.

Cable/satellite tv in general. Pay a crapload up front and it's still 50% advertising.
