I haven't watched nickelodeon since they canned SNICK (the early snick-not the garbage they introduced later on).

Hulu for everything else. If it's truly funny, it will make it's way onto the information supa highway.

Nopity-dope.

As long as I can get the ABC and NBC network families , CNN, and AMC (for Mad Men), it's all copacetic.

Recycled comment, muahaha

I just turned 22 and would be happy to see MTV go. I loathe that channel -- I feel it's a microcosm of everything wrong with today's society. Self-loving, ignorant, superficial and obnoxious. It caters to the "me, me, me" ideology that seems to be the curse of every generation. And yeah, definitely no music there -- how is reality TV not dead yet!? It's been around for so, so long and every show maintains the same exact format, it seems. You'd think people would have tired of it by now.

Comedy Central, however, needs to stay.

And that's bad, right?

Already did. Besides, I don't really watch MTV and I can just catch Steven Colbert online.

a bit off topic, but why do people find steven colbert funny? i didnt like him on the daily show, didnt like him in the love guru, and cant stand him on his own show. i dont know how him or dane cook got so popular. not knocking anyone who does like them. i just dont find it funny. and i've tried, i really have. i want to be like all the other children

@ilikedachacha: I can't believe you just used Stephen Colbert and Dane Cook in the same sentence. At least Colbert is original. Fuck Dane Cook.

@ilikedachacha: For things like this, I’ll (badly) paraphrase Ebert: "There are two things you cannot debate: comedy and erotica. If something is funny, you’ll laugh at it and no amount of explaining will change that. And it’s hard to argue against an erection."

Like you, I just don’t laugh at Colbert’s shtick. Granted, with the exception of Dr. Strangelove, I don’t think much that’s very funny has been written since Abbott and Costello’s heyday, so take that for what it’s worth. #timewarnercable

Oh it will be a very merry new year --- at DirecTV, Dish, Verizon, and Comcast.

I am a TWC subscriber, and IMO MTV and Comedy Central are more for younger tweens. Not that I feel old (only 30 - hell, maybe I am?) But if I want good comedy I watch Family Guy, [ADULT SWIM], or other 'dark' comedy like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; stuff you don't see on Comedy Central (ok, ok I still watch Southpark).

And don't even get me started on MTV...

@Dick In A Box: Indeed. And it took me hearing about it four times to realize it.

Reaction 1: Oooh, that's bad.

Reaction 2: Actually, it's not that bad.

Reaction 3: Actually, I don't really even care one way or the other.

Reaction 4: Holy shit, I have no reaction to this story!

@Dick In A Box: Comedy Central still has the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. I'd be sorry to see those go. Good thing we don't get our cable from TW (but we thought that before this happened).
