Some of the things I would change on tv?

I shouldn't make it bother me but certain things bother me about cable tv. Little things, but they're very annoying and if I was in control of tv or a certain cable channel I would change somethings.
The N-First off, The N has some good programs. South of Nowhere, The Best Years, The Hills, Laguna Beach, Dawson's Creek and the almighty of The N, Degrassi. The thing that bothers me is that I'm so sick of Degrassi. That's all that's ever on that channel. Every night, weeknight, the show is on. I don't mean one or two episodes, I mean 5 to 6 hr. marathons. I mean, I know the show is good but does it have to be on all the time. Put some other shows on or don't bother advertising them. Dawson's Creek, Laguna Beach and Summerland are shows that are promoted and never shown. If they're shown it's on 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning. Who's going to watch that? Don't bother promoting the shows if they are not going to be on. Hopefully, when The N becomes a 24 hr. network they'll be able to put Degrassi on and put other shows on as well.
TV Land- TV Land shows a lot of old shows which is what the channel is supposed to do. The problem I have is where are all the classic shows. Where's Happy Days, The Odd Couple, The Honeymooners and Father Knows Best? If you look at the schedule for "TV Land's Merrython" that they have every year, none of those shows are on it. With all due respect to shows that are on the special but what would you rather see-Happy Days or Night Court? The Odd Couple or Wings? I mean Happy Days, Honeymooners etc. are some of the great shows of all time. Where are they, especially now? Hopefully, they'll change their schedule and make "TV Land Merrython" a must watch.
TBS-This channel is fine but the problem I have is that can they stop running "Saved By the Bell-The College Years" every Friday. I mean they've been doing it for years and "The College Years" only made 13 episodes! How many times can you see the same episodes. I mean at least when they were in high school they made more than 13 episodes. Put "Saved by the Bell-The New Class" on instead. At least it would be something different. People probably don't remember the show and they made more than 13 episodes.
ION-People might not know what this channel is but I believe NBC owns it. It's a network that shows family programming and even has commercials that aren't violent, sexual, lewd etc. I don't have a problem with that. The problem I have is that their only on for 6 hrs. all day from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. They could put family programming on all day and night. My feeling is that if you want to be called a network or channel you have to be on for more than 6hrs. I think they should do it because I think their's a demand for family programming. I don't know why they don't show more programs but they really should.
These are just my opionions about tv. I don't know if anybody agrees or if anybody cares. To me, it's just random thoughts that were bothering me. If you like it, fine. If you don't like it, fine. If you don't have an opionion, that's fine too.
