Scrubs, 8 Simple Rules, Home Improvement. All shows you can flick over to and watch. Now it's going. Damn. I only watch E4, Film 4 and ABC1.

They were on at good "dinner time" periods too. I'll miss scrubs a lot!

There was only 8 simple rules i watched but stoped after the guy that played the dad died. Nowt else really good was on apart from that, and the repeats etc that was killer for the channel. If it was to survive it needed more. Would have been nice to watch ally mcbeal again tho if it was on id watch it.

I don't get why in my Sky Mag (delivered Yesterday) it advertises 'Scrubs' on ABC! (Ch170) but when I type 170 into my Skybox it says 'Channel Unavailable' :confused:

... But this Sky Mag is for NEXT MONTH!!.. :confused:

I always used to switch between 106, 107, 111, 170 on a Sunday Evening now I'm gonna be stuck with symaltainious Ad Breaks! :mad:

ABC always used to fill the void!!!...

Apparently it was a last minute decision by Disney to pull it from cable and Sky - originally it was only going to be dropped from Freeview so obviously the mag went to print on the basis it would still be being broadcast.

What did ABC1 show in the evenings on Sky and Cable? Freeview's feed was turned off at 5 or 6 every evening, always wondered if they actually showed newer/better stuff after that.

dunno aint seen any canadian crap over here in the uk. Saying that though even the tv in Canada is filled with American shows. Canadian broadcasting much like British broadcasting is pretty crap

.

Hmmm havent watched ABC1 channel for god knows how long, probably because its the same shows repeated over and over again. Take for example 8 simple rules, there havent been any new episodes for quite some time now.
