If we're going to argue that the channel has "gone downhill", (an oddly recurring theme on these boards) we need to compare their previous programming to their new programming. I'm too young to remember much of anything earlier than Modern Marvels, but could any of you oldsters clue me in to what it played before?
Another thing to note is that the programming may have shifted so that "lite" shows play during prime-time in order to attract the largest possible audience.
