Thus far,how do "you" rate the Hub network's programs,schedules & so
forth.

I honestly think the Hub network hit a few home runs as far as their
animated cartoons goes. their is a even 50/50 mixture of educational
cartoons mixed in evenly with the action packed cartoons. ofcause with anything their is always room for improvement. like getting more highly rated & watched educational cartoons on the hub. like rotating the TF & G.I Joe cartoons out with various other older TF & G.I Joe cartoons. like getting more action cartoons on the hub like
pokemon,power rangers,yugui-o,gundam,DBZ & so forth.

THE ANIMATION ON THE HUB NETWORK SEEMS TO BE THEIR STRONEST THING ON
THE HUB.

Sadly,I think the Hub Network is doing poorly & hitting all strikes
with their live action programs. like all those 1970's & 1980's
sitcoms & those outdated newly made board games shows.

The live action sitcoms on the hub have to be the most outdated,un-
watched & un-demanded. It kinda feels like Hasbro bid on & got all the sitcoms that the other networks didn't want to bid on or were getting rid of because they were awful.

Happy days has to be one of the most repeated & repeated & repeated
sitcom that everyone has watched over & over. if something gets that
run thru the mill,the majority get sick of it & wind up not liking it anymore. another negative is the show is so outdated by todays family standards.

Doggie howser MD & the wonder years. while they may have been decent
shows when they were running brand new shows every week/year. these 2 shows didn't lend themselves that great in the re-runs cycle. these 2 shows were nothing special & never got high weekly ratting when they were running newer episodes each week. these 2 shows don't have & never will have a loyal fan base. these 2 shows were considered outdated & booring even when they were running newer episodes way back then.

Batman 1960/1970's live action show,really,was this show given away for free to hasbro for the hub network. this has got to be one of the lowest budget shows that aired way back then. the show has nothing positive going for it. the show is very corny, dorky, outdated,bad acting,cheap props,cheap back grounds,horrible dialogue & plots. villians who are grown men & act like their brains got run over by a train.

Family ties,this show was outdated,superficial & un-realistic even by 1980's standards. this was one of the most corniest shows ever from the 1980's. this show didn't lend itself that great in the re-runs cycle. due to it being a huge outdated booring-fest.

Lavern & Shirley,this show is not only outdated it's extremly
depressing. nothing is more depressing than watching 2 grown women in their late 30's act like their in their early 20's. it's kinda
depressing watching late 30's aged women chase after guys,get yelled
at by their fathers,work in sweat shops,getting paid minium wage & the last episode not improving their lives that much.

Honey I shrunk the kids,the TV Show/sitcom. talk about a obsecure show from way out from left field. most didn't even know this show existed & aired on TV/Cable years ago.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE,THE HUB COULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TEMPORARY
BROADCAST rights to the following older sitcoms tv shows like as
follows: the incredible hulk,the bionic man,the bionic women,the six
million dollar man,the a-team,different strokes,facts of life,Wonder
women. the greatest american hero,21 jump street,andy griffith
show,roseane,alf.

I honestly think a better move for Hasbro for the hub,is to get the
broadcast rights to some of the extremly popular & highly watched/rated 1990's & years 2000's sitcom TV shows. instead of digging deep back into the 1970's & 1980's. at the very least getting some shows/sitcoms from the 1990's & years 2000's won't be that outdated thus by defalt less corny.

I really dis-like the live action kids board game shows on the hub
network. this is just so late 1980's/early 1990's outdated. trying to compete with the success of double dare makes zero sense. because
double dare eventually got kicked off the nework due to it being too
repeative,outdated & completly un-watchable. I REALIZE HASBRO/HUB IS TRYING TO COMPETE WITH CN'S BOARD GAMES KIDS SHOWS. these shows are wasting precious time slots & just dragging the whole hub network down.

A few of my suggestions: grow up the nework a bit with the kids
programs. have a action block for 2 hours in the after noon & a anime block for 3 hours at night. the action block in the afternoon could show programs similar to yugi-o gundam,DBZ,Pokemon,TF Prime,G.I joe renegades. the late night anime block could show cutting edge japanese animated shows like cow boy beebop,gundam,& various other shows.

Having only my little pony & strawberry shortcakes for the girls cartoons on the hub network seems a bit un-fair. as these 2 girl cartoons are clearly aimed at girls from ages 2-6 years of age. their isn't any girls cartoons on the hub for girls ages 7 thru 13+ years of age

I think having a few more extremly popular older female girls cartoons on the hub,would make more girls tune into the hub,thus more rattings. the following shows would be great for the hub: sailor moon,barbie,brats,winx club.

I haven't been dedicated to a channel or show since perhaps my first year or so in college 10 some years ago. I'm honestly really surprised any time someone tells me about a regular viewing habit.

I just don't get it with the advent of Netflix, Hulu, and cheap TV box sets.

So, I guess I rate the whole thing poorly because it hasn't done anything to change my viewing habits at all.

I never said I was a devoted viewer of the hub network. I most certainly don't watch the hub network daily for 6+hours a day.

their is a thing called a guide button on most cable remotes,that allows people to see what's on a network without the need to watch the network for hours at a time.

The only time I actually watch the hub network is when a newer episode of TF Prime airs. even then I cheat & record the episode while i'm at work.

I don't even bother watching the re-runs of TF G-1 & G.I Joe on the Hub because I saw them already.

I was more or less saying,the live action sitcom shows & kids game shows that are currently on the hub are pure awful. I have tuned in a few minutes here & their in the begginning, just to check out the board games shows & hated it. thus never watched these programs again.

one doesn't have to be a vivid constant watcher of a network,to say they dis-like this & suggest ideas to make things better. especially considering those sitcoms currently on the hub are all over 20+ years old & I've seen them decades ago. the current kids board games on the hub remind me of the nightmare that was nickolodeon's "double dare" & "family double dare"kids game show from decades ago.

There you go, talking down to me already. There is a thing called civility...

There needs to be more of that around here.

There can hardly be an occasion where it is appropriate to get defensive over an honest answer to a question you pose.

There has to be a point to all of this, I'm sure of it.

I've never even watched Hub network.

I just want a TV network that will give me my anime goodness. Seriously, I haven't bothered with TV much since Toonami died.

TF Prime is online so no need for me to bother with the tv unless I'm playing a game.
