Spike Tv, The First Network for Men, is a remade station from TNN. What do you all think about this? i think its just a way to bring there ratings up. They have a few good shows that i watch on it: Star Trek The Next Generation, WWE Raw, WWE Heat and all. post what you think about TNN changing to Spike TV

I dont really care. I watched the first episode of the Joe Schmo show, and it was actually pretty good lol.

I know I'm a chick...but I was ST and slamball on Spike. hehe. It seems pretty cool.

OmnipotentMoonBabe · **Sat Sep 06, 2003 1:16 am**

But I"ll have to agree that it is just a way to boost ratings...it was a mostly men audience anyways wasn't it?

The "Spike TV" ad that appears every few seconds at the lower right of the screen is VERY annoying and distracting.

I agree with morphy it does distracted the viewer and i like the shows from it.

the Sci-FI channel does the same thing. so does NBC and Tech-TV. I admit, it is most annoying

I got to admit the promos for the spike station was funny the way they trashed the womens networks no offense to them theres just too many all I have to say is: FINALLY A STATION FOR MEN YES oh and I love the series Most Extreme Elimation Challenge they have so many ineudos (SP) but its tastfully done long live MXC

I dont see why they changed the name from TNN to SpikeTV.
I dont see the point.

Jeff Miller · **Mon Sep 15, 2003 10:14 pm**

because they want a station for men they have three station for women Lifetime, We, and Oxy.

ESPN, NESN, Playboy..... stations geared toward men. "First network for men" my ass.
I think it's kind of degrading to men. Saying that violence and sex is all that you understand. I know several men who watch the "womens" channels, LMN, etc..., because they can think, and actually enjoy doing so. And by no means am I saying that women are smarter or better, I'm saying that society is saying that men can only handle action, etc...

So, again, "finally a station for men",

c'mon, give yourselves some credit here.

Josi Rockholt · **Tue Sep 16, 2003 8:13 pm**

She does have a point. Men have just as many stations as women,if not more. And when sports are on,forget it, men (mainly) are glued to the TV.

Jeff Miller · **Tue Sep 16, 2003 9:12 pm**

I happen to like the station theres alot of good shows on it that other stations don't show anymore

IntrepidIsMe · **Wed Sep 17, 2003 11:33 am**

I just watch the Star Trek

ESPN is my "men's network"

... but I know at least one girl that considers it her "women's network." She knows more about sports than me, and that is RARE.

The name change dosn't really bother me, I really only watch St, and Real TV on that station, and sometimes James Bond Movies. Shawn Connery's the best Bond!!!

sabertooth1217 · **Fri Sep 19, 2003 7:35 pm**

i dont like bond

sabertooth1217 · **Fri Sep 26, 2003 5:57 pm**

borgslayer · **Sun Oct 12, 2003 7:31 pm**

Why is it that they show Blind Date its not a man show? lol

They show Blind Date, but isnt it for girls not for guys...

They should show more Space Above & Beyond Type show..

Shows they should show all the time

Stargate Sg-1
Star Trek
Space Above & Beyond
7 Days

sabertooth1217 · **Mon Oct 13, 2003 7:09 pm**

you would the they would try to buy the man show off of comendy central for the first network for men

Ok let me break it down, Stan Lee bought the Station and "TNN" was most of the time affiliated with "hillbillies" and he wanted to get away from that.
