The shows are original.
Their documentaries are outstanding.
One could argue pbs would also be a descent choice.
thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.

GridIronKing34forum_veteranThis doesn't make sense. ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX aren't the same network.

The wife and I just got through Sherlock and Luther and holy **** balls, that's damn good programming. I love that the typical American TV requirements aren't in these shows, like contrived exposition and formulas. Watching an American show you can almost imagine the greasy haired exec, telling the writers to not make the show too smart. Having said that, I have a couple of guilty pleasures like Psyche & Bones. But my all time favorite show is Game of Thrones.

Are you really that confused? Is it too much work for your brain to understand that they are all combined because they don't really stand apart from each other?
You're basically justifying American network execs sensibilities.
padre31luxury_boxI'd go with AMC for entertainment (SciFi is a close #2) and BBC World on PBS at 11:30 pm if I'm up

the one about the vampire, ghost and werewolf is pretty good as well.

I almost put in SyFy, but it felt too "niche" to include.

Being Human?
We're trying Ripper Street and then Whitechapel.

Lost girl is good so is "Ghost Mine" which I thought I'd hate, but it turned out really interesting to watch.
Eh, it's the winter though, when spring rolls around I tend to lose track of what show comes on what night.
Other thing is, there is the niche category of shows that I like but they are scattered around networks:
-Gold Rush
-Bering Sea Gold (amazingly hardcore, guy sleeping in a burnt out truck squatting in a bucket hardcore)
-Moonshiners b/c some of those fellas literally operate in my neck of the woods

You really don't have any idea how the business side of these networks work then.

I dunno about the "not even close". BBC is pretty effing good. I know HBO had The Wire, but Luther and Sherlock would be the best shows HBO currently has on after GoT.
Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranFX is also a force. "The Americans" is amazing. "American Horror Story" also of course. Plus though I haven't watched them, people seem to love "Sons of Anarchy", "Justified", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "The League".
Right now from the choices I'd go with AMC. And speaking of HBO, "Enlightened" is pretty great.

Enlightened is good. Girls is probably the best written show on right now as well.

The Americans is a good show, just sort of not sure what night it comes on etc
Killer Beesforum_veteranYeah I like The Americans so far. It comes on wednesdays at like 10 I think padre, gonna' go watch it right now lol.
Killer Beesforum_veteranTheir have been good shows on all of these networks IMO, but HBO/Showtime have the edge because they don't have to censor anything. Plus no commercials so longer air time.
Paul 13moderatori voted the major networks because they are all grouped together and I have better odds that way. :couch:
Twitter @Silver_Hornet (follow me and I'll follow you, just let me know who you are on here!
Jt0323moderatorout of ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, ABC is by far the worst. Other then Lost of course. CBS has big bang theory which I enjoy, and HIMYM, other then that I dont watch CBS, I hate their drama's (CSI, CSI NY, CSI Miami, Hawaii 5.0) Fox had good shows in the best, 24 and now the Following but they are to quick to cancel shows. NBC has the same issue with Dramas, they canceled a great show in awake, but they are the best network for comedy, Office, Parks and Recs, Community, ect...Only show I watch on AMC is Breaking Bad, and Showtime I watch Dexter. To be honest, my favorite network is TBS. Has Big Bang Theory, Friends, The Office, Seinfeld and Conan. So yeah TBS is my favorite network. I also like USA because of previous shows like Monk and current shows like Psych
