A lot of what I'm seeing is after the shows were in their prime. That accounts for some of the lower scores.

Just figured it out. The network is called Antenna TV. They play nothing but stale and old reruns which must be really cheap to buy for re-broadcast.
1 out of every 2 commercials is one of those gut wrenching ones where someone pleads for you to help out ($$$). Kids with cancer, abused animals, animals on the brink of extinction, save a life, etc.
I've been the seeing the same damn 8-10 commercials played over and over again for the months I've been watching the network.
The agencies asking for money are St. Jude's, the ASPCA, the WWA, and the Save a Life Worldwide Foundation.
I think the 4 of them got together with a savvy Marketing group and came up with this idea: Get lots of people laughing and reminiscing over these old (cheap) shows and then tug at their hearts during the commercials to get donations.
Brilliant.
