Top Ten Television Channels Whose Existence Makes No Sense

heartlessdoll.com — I was at a party the other night where the hosts revealed to me that they don't have cable and rarely watch television. Oh really? Well la di da for you. I'm a television whore and proud of it. Yet even I cannot fathom why the following channels are in existence.

  • diggyduggle, on 06/08/2009, -1/+19I'm still pissed that i came up with the idea for a 'cartoon network' back when i was around 8 years old, and it didn't exist until i was an adult.

  • MikaStar, on 06/08/2009, -1/+11Lifetime and WE. I'm a chick and I hate those channels. I'm convinced both channels actually hate women, which is why they pump out shows about bat ***** crazy brides that tromp around screaming obscenities at random people for their pink flowers being a hair off from the pink they wanted, to sappy, overly dramatic, lifetime movies where every man is a rapist. Your dad? A rapist. Your brother? A rapist. Your quadriplegic granddad that's in a coma? A secret rapist. In fact, I vote we do away with all 'women" channels. They make it far to easy to make a case that "all women are sappy, stupid, overly emotional, dramatic" bimbos, which doesnt' help the millions of women that are none of that.
  • yocouchdigga, on 06/09/2009, -1/+11because NASA is ***** awesome.
  • Pvisi111, on 06/08/2009, -4/+11Some of these I agree, but Spike and TruTV?!?!?!! Come on. I personally love 90% of the shows that are on TruTV (except for those "shocking videos" series), but between Cops, Operation Repo, Speeders, Inside American Jails, and Forensic Files the channel is plain awesome.

    I agree with you 100% about the Hallmark Channel though.
  • aethelberga, on 06/09/2009, -0/+7I have never watched Spike until a couple of weekends ago when they were doing a marathon of Deadliest Warrior. Viking vs Samurai?! I defy you to tell me TV gets better than that!
  • Jakeman21co, on 06/08/2009, -0/+6There is a CSPAN 3 now?
  • burgerkinghorn, on 09/02/2009, -4/+10Combine Lifetime and Oxygen into Vagina TV, LOL!!!
  • STBAT25, on 06/08/2009, -0/+6I have Direct TV and I get 11 religious channels. I can see 2 maybe 3 but 11! I have no idea how they all stay on the air. It must be a prestige thing (my mega church's channel has more viewers than yours).
  • SpeedStix, on 06/08/2009, -2/+7Spike..that station is good. Deadliest warrior, UFC and manswers. All entertaining.
  • bubbameister33, on 06/09/2009, -3/+8Where's G4?
  • btschul, on 06/09/2009, -2/+7Yeah, all dissenting views should be silenced, right? right guys?
  • Triiknastee, on 06/08/2009, -4/+9Meh, I like spike for having UFC.
  • fightingforair, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4I'm glad you said that.

    While many opinions can be thought of as wrong on that channel, they are still opinions none the less.

    Their opinions cause great discussion and people to actually voice their opinions and that is why I am thankful for fox news. It causes people to think.
  • richIsBored, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4I like watching those kinds of shows but if I were completely forthcoming, the draw is figuring out where the criminal went wrong and how you would do it instead. I'm almost certain everyone does the same thing but the funny thing about that is if I'm wrong it makes me creepy.
  • charm803, on 06/09/2009, -0/+4I do the same thing, I think that's why I scare guys.
    I once said:

    "Oh, he should have had a better alibi, that's what did him in."

    My guy friend just looked at me like he wanted to run.

    I hope I never cross over to the dark side. But I think it makes for a good murder novel. I guess I should become a writer. I suggest you do too, unless you want to be the weird creepy dude. haha.
  • ELCad, on 06/09/2009, -1/+4You forgot Fox Business Network.
  • inactive, on 06/09/2009, -1/+4I can't watch Manswers, the announcer drives me insane. Does he have to yell at me the whole time? I'm already watching. Talk like a normal ***** person.
  • diemunkiesdie, on 06/09/2009, -0/+3All vagina all the time? YES! I'd watch that show!
  • medlakeguy, on 06/09/2009, -1/+4we need fox news, keep the idiots in one place...
  • diemunkiesdie, on 06/09/2009, -0/+3Lol at the secret rapist.
  • charm803, on 06/09/2009, -0/+3On Saturdays, I spend most of my evenings watching Forensic Files on TruTV. But I'm editor of a crime blog, so I am really into crime related shows.

    (I apparently need to start dating, but I think I scare away guys with my fascination with murder crimes and how they were solved.)


  • KibblesnBitts, on 06/09/2009, -0/+3CSPAN 1 is the House of Representatives
    CSPAN 2 is the Senate

    you would be surprised at how many people stay at home and watch it all day.
  • scarlettletter, on 06/08/2009, -0/+2~embarrassed~ I can name a few that I watch....=(
  • MarineDigg80, on 06/08/2009, -3/+5I especially agree with number 9 the nasa channel hello anyone that interested in it can go online and watch it free on their website why waste a perfectly good tv channel too.
  • KibblesnBitts, on 06/09/2009, -0/+2Committee hearings
  • GoKings, on 06/09/2009, -0/+2I like Spike TV
  • alexra, on 06/09/2009, -0/+2oh yah, all in all the same anyways.
  • ileftfark, on 06/09/2009, -0/+2I was with the author until they bashed ESPN Classic. On a Saturday morning/afternoon, ever since Saturday cartoons suck/don't exist, I have the choice between the Thrilla in Manilla or SpongeBob. No one said life would be easy.
  • bearsandbulls, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1Dairy Queen- Antidisestablishmentarianism
  • theblueprint, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1RE: The TRU TV clip

    Am I the only person who can't pass up any video that includes the word "brawl" in the title or description?
  • jimv1983, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1That's an easy choice. Thrilla in Manilla and I don't even like boxing. But watching SpongeBob makes me want to slam my head against the wall.
  • HardSide, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1UFC, Need I say more? How can you hate spike? And they have reruns of Star Trek: TNG and did DS9 a couple of years ago.
  • inactive, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1Spike (and Versus, which is owned by the same people) are the only regular cable stations that have any amount of MMA content. Anyone else see Faber v Brown 2 sunday? Those guys are warriors.
  • stonebone4, on 06/09/2009, -1/+2Buried for Twin Peaks hate. The first time you see BOB on there is still one of the scariest things I've ever seen in a movie/show.
  • mrpunman, on 06/10/2009, -0/+1Golf Channel?

    Come on man, I play golf.
  • wolfing, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1looks like that article was written by a woman (or someone with the man's card revoked). I mean, seriously... Spike is good TV, so is ESPN Classics!
  • SpeedStix, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1It is still entertaining, I don't think Spike deserves to be on the list.
  • XkenX87, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1Like my mother. I try and tell her how ignorant Fox makes her. but alas she is to ignorant.
  • IKORKYI, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1i like religious channels. i think that if more people sat down and watched them, they would be horrified. its a drinking-game-rich environment
  • XkenX87, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1*too
  • medlakeguy, on 06/09/2009, -0/+1the hells CSPAN 3?
  • Emused, on 06/09/2009, -2/+2Its called an "Idiot Box " for a reason.I counted 9 more, save the NASA channel.
  • Psara, on 06/09/2009, -1/+1I had never even heard of the NASA channel, Oxygen, CSPAN 3 ( I knew there was a 2,) TruTV, or Chiller.

    My TV goes to eleven. No, really, it only goes to eleven!
  • yocouchdigga, on 06/09/2009, -2/+1there are millions that aren't sappy, stupid, overly emotional, dramatic" bimbos?

    where?
  • anxdiety, on 06/09/2009, -2/+1Why wasn't BET listed on there? I'm no racist by any means but I've always wondered what would happen if they created the White Entertainment Network. Actually I really want Japtv as a channel. 24/7 Takeshi's Castle, subtitled anime and the creepy weird horror movies that are all slowly being bastardized into hollywood flicks.
  • fury420, on 06/09/2009, -2/+1what really bothers me about manswers is not the announcer, not the lowest-common-denominator questions they answer.... but the fact that half of the answers/statistics are pulled directly out of their ass, and have no basis in reality
  • bubbameister33, on 06/09/2009, -4/+1Are you married? I'm not crazy or deranged.
