    The IFC and Sundance channels showing independent movies/shows and documentaries before they started showing sitcoms and dramas.

    Comedy Central showing stand-up shows before they started showing countless hours of The Office.

    I miss Allo’ Allo’, even though it was completely stupid (found out recently the gestapo officer Herr Flick’s look was based on Toht from Raiders Of The List Ark.); and Gladiators, because you must can’t beat a kickboxing instructor from Crewe being wrestled to the ground by a bemuscled lunatic in a leotard - and it would probably never be allowed now either.

    AMC used to be "american movie classics" and had black and white and classic films. Now it has walking dead.

    Sci-fi had evey classic sci-fi show out there plus anime. Now they have cheap shark films and has aired cooking shows, ecw wresting and law and order.

    USA network was the home for cartoons for hours on usa cartoon express, wwf wrestling, and at night music videos, up all night and saturday nightmares.

    Is usa network even around anymore?

    MTV, vh-1 and cmt played music videos!

    I miss when Cartoon Network showed their CN originals like...

    OG PPG & Dexter's Laboratory
    I miss when cartoon network was CARTOON network with no live action crap other than banana splits and skatebirds and had scooby, yogi bear, smurfs, jetsons, and wacky races! It was also "24 hours of toons". Not anymore!

    I was curious so according to Wiki, which for this is likely accurate, it is but I don't have cable and haven't for 15+years. That is for sure why I didn't know if it was still around.

    USA network is stil around. But if you want to watch anything other then Law and Order or Chicago Fire/PD Reruns you are in for a world of hurt.

    I have the Pluto TV app and I'm almost positive I breeze by the ALL Law&Order channel.

    If you(anyone) isn't aware Pluto is an AD based free App that shows lots of programming from decades gone by.
    There is an all Doctor Who, Star Trek, Stargate, TMNT cartoons, Transformers cartoons, Threes Company, Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and others that just air those shows.
    Lots of other options just highlighting the exclusive ones.
