This is just the kind of thing that aggravates me about cable channels. They start off bragging about how they are bringing you classics. Eventually, though, they bring in more and more original programming. The next step is then to begin ANOTHER channel to show the classics, and jack up your monthly bill accordingly.
Nick At Nite is another example, of a different sort. They were showing good old stuff. Then, as time went by, they pushed off the older shows to TV Land. Now, even TV Land is playing mostly stuff from the 80s, not counting the ubiquitous "I Love Lucy," "The Andy Griffith Show" and a few others. I'm expecting at some time they will announce new channels such as "TV Land 50s," "TV Land 60s," etc.
I would also mention Disney Channel. They used to show old "Wonderful World of Disney" episodes and such. Now, about all they have is originals.
I reckon I'm just gonna have to start my own "Bob's Nostalgia Channel." But, then, I'll have to pay a higher monthly rate, won't I?
