55. Saturday network prime time is ghost town

Sun Dec 7, 2025, 08:41 AM

18 hrs ago

Usually filled with reruns, college sports, and other assortment of odds-and-ends programming the network needs to burn. CBS will park this "special" there as first dibs---but its the clips and soundbites that will filter down to the socials where the real reach happens.

I'm sure there will be lots of commentary on all of it here on DU as much as we say we want to look away.

P.S. What the hell happened to Saturday night netwrok TV? Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Love Boat, Golden Girls (I'm dating myself here). I guess viewers just stopped watching less and less and/or went elsewhere for entertainment.
