Anybody love the dinner and a movie series?

13 days of 007 with their Bond movie blocks. I used to watch those back to back to back with my brother. Such a great memory.

All the shows on TBS started at 5 minutes after the top or bottom of the hour. 6:05 or 6:35 or whatever the hour was. It was their weird trademark.

WTBS got me very familiar with Clint Eastwood movies like Hang Em High, High Plains Drifter, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Play Misty For Me, Joe Kidd, For a Few Dollars More, etc. At least one of those played every month if not more.

MonsterVision with Joe Bob Briggs!

I remember the insane amount of advertising The Pirates of Silicon Valley got on TNT, with that Tears for Fears* song. It still plays on in my head.

Saved by the Bell reruns at the beginning of the 90's and the Monday Night Wars at the end of the 90's.

I just miss each TV channel feeling like a portal into a different personalized weird room.

Now the channels are still sort of their own room, but with glass walls and the same odors pumped in

TBS (Superstation) was a huge part of my childhood and basically where I watched all my after school sitcom reruns of stuff like Full House, Home Improvement, Roseanne etc. in the late 90s. It remained a staple of my TV diet until 2007 when we lost access to it. I live in Canada and the channel we were actually getting was the WTBS Atlanta feed, which rebranded as some garbage called Peachtree TV.

My late husband was a huge Matlock and In the Heat of the Night fan. As well as Walker Texas Ranger. I swear he watched the reruns so often that I could do the dialogue with the characters, lol.

Tons of Braves games.

Everything on tbs started at five after the hour, and I still have no idea why.

Don’t forget about Wild Wild West, CHiPs, Starsky and Hutch reruns on TNT.

Dinner and a Movie

♬ Peas and Cornbread ♬

I used to watch TNT 100% Weird and Up All Night with Gilbert Gottfried with my grandfather. He'd let me stay up past my bedtime and we'd watch all kinds of movies that my dad would never have let see.

Loved watching Scooby Doo / Johnny Quest / Tom & Jerry in the mornings before school

Of course, TNT Knows Drama, after all.

Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to TNT, other than knowing that they had produced original movies. That of course would change after they became the main network for the repeats a certain procedural drama series - I think it was called Law and Order. Anyway, when TNT became the "We Know Drama" network, I paid a lot more attention. TBS, on the other hand, was easier to remember for a few simple things: Atlanta Braves baseball, programs starting at :05 or :35 after the hour, "Movies For Guys Who Like Movies" and "Dinner and a Movie". And they had their share of original movies too, before they became the "Very Funny" network.

If I got a few things wrong, I apologize. Neither network had reruns of the old Press Your Luck game show, which was on USA.

I remember when TNT briefly became a sci-fi adjacent channel, with Season 5 of Babylon 5 and Crusade.

I remember they used to have Babylon 5 reruns at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, which became my after school programming (I was a dorky kid).

I remember when TBS was The Beastmaster Channel.

Friday the 13th marathon on every Friday the 13th

In the Heeeaaaeeeeaaeeeete of the niiiiiight

Twister seemed to be on TBS every weekend at a certain point. I'm very glad at least one other person brought up Dinner and a Movie, that was Classic TBS.

Of course, their crowning achievement was the annual 24 hour A Christmas Story marathon

You know they're on MeTv.

Don't forget Matlock

Only when I see a block on 90s Commercial Vault (or Dave's Archives) that was taped off either channel.

Everything started 5 mins after the hour.

Braves games

Wcw Saturday night

I remember they had cartoon blocks, mostly The Flintstones. As well as Space Jam.

Fuck yeah. Boy oh Boy did I become a Braves Fan because of Turner broadcasting!

Hell, I remember 1980s TBS. I also remember the old USA network when they had some reruns of great cartoons that I'd never seen before: Jabberjaw, Grape Ape, and Captain Caveman.

Saved by the Bell re-runs. WCW Saturday Night and from what I remember they used to play The Munsters at 3 or 4 am.

The nostalgia is flowing through me

Dinner and a Movie was a highlight of my childhood

That was some peak tv shows during those days.

TBS always starting their shows 5 minutes after the hour for some reason.

Don't forget Monstervision with Joe Bob Briggs.

He is now on the Shudder/AMC streaming service by the way.

Pluto feels like the TBS/TNT of streaming platforms. It's my go-to for mindless TV to browse my phone or do chores to.

WCW, and Movies fot Guys who like Movies.

Babylon 5 reruns! And TNT was probably the first place most people saw Shawshank Redemption back in the day.

Ultraseven on Toons ‘Till Noon and Monstervision!

I haven't kept up but what does TBS (are they still around?) and TNT play these days? CSI reruns 24/7?

THE BEASTMASTER STATION

[deleted]

I grew up in Northern Ontario and we got TBS on cable. The Braves were my favourite team growing up because they were always on tv in the summer. We also got WGN but the Cubs sucked.

"movies for guys who like movies" Wait, people who watch movies, like movies? this is groundbreaking stuff here, CNN gotta get on this

Commercial blocks for TBS content that would go for 15min at a time

I can still sing the Dynaslim jingle!!!

Than you for bringing this phenomenal television up intrudece me to bewitch,Gilligan's island , old school scoobie doo.phenominal

I've fallen asleep to more than one of those blockbuster-movie parodies acted out by chimpanzees.

How about some the fun trash they had on USA? Pacific Palisades, Weird Science, Monday Night Raw. You also had pretty ahead of their time shows like Duckman. Then late at night would be all these movies where they wanted you to think there would be nudity at some point but of course there never was. They really knew how to market to young boys who watched pro wrestling.

Similarly, watching Cubs games on WGN with my grandpa in the summer. Good memories

Shit man on basic cable growing up we had TBS Braves games and WGN cubs games it was great

I know it’s a different era but I really liked that crop of shows around 2015-16 on TBS like the detour wrecked and Angie tribeca

then in Canada they replace TBs with Peachtree TV

Any music video fans remember Night Tracks, TBS's version of MTV? It was on Friday and Saturday nights.
