The space has opened for a new streaming service called AmericaStream or something where channels are not censored by the left. Sort of like the new Sling TV, but with new channels.It’s not political, just American. I’d buy. If nothing else, it would do serious damage to the left-dominated cable companies and networks.

TVLand is blowing almost everything away as they re-brand and switch demographics.

I don’t see the Black Panthers watching this show anyway.
The people who watch Duke Boys are not exactly the market segment that will be offended by a confederate flag.

I disliked the show, but am tempted to buy it on DVD just to give the middle finger salute to corporate America!

Anyone on the left ever hear it’s OK not to watch something you find offensive? Why they invented the channel changer (originally called the “dial” on a TV). I about hurl over anything homosexual on TV, but no matter how offensive to many people THAT’s here to stay.

Yeah...I’m an idiot because I simply cannot understand why the leftist dolts are fine with such hypocrisy.

“The majority of our audience in prime time and weekends are now Gen Xers — vibrant, working adults who grew up on MTV and edgier shows. They demand and deserve a brand that is more connected to where they are today. They are layered and complicated, and their idea of escape is to lean in and go deep. We are a new TV Land for this new audience.”

Yeah, that will go well...is EVERYONE in business as stupid as that? Is there a competition to see who can out-stupid the new McDonald’s CEO?

Isn’t MTV and TV LAND owned by the same company? Which years ago i suspected was their goal. Move people from old tv shows into more trashier shows.

Guess what...we like cool shows like dukes of hazard. Do we have 500 more cosby shows with transgender characters in our future?

The anti-whitey/anti-christian campaign continues.

One of the first shows on ABC Family after they bought it, was a show about shacking up.

Because their cheesy home-brewed sitcoms starring Kirstie Alley and Betty White were so terrific. /s
