[rockinredneck57]

Great stuff, best network in history! I danced on Dancin' USA every time it was in middle Tenn for about 3 years.

[monkeylovedump]

These were the last years of good music and shows.....damn you, Spike TV......I SHAKE MY FIST AT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CadillacL]

Wish SOMEHOW, some network can bring back TNN. Maybe a classic TNN channel.

[CadillacL]

@smokes2468 I 2nd that.

[islezeus]

Oh gawd, this looked like Hick Hell! THANK GOD I never knew of this network

[1980sCountry]

Great stuff! I miss TNN. Thanks for posting. 

[robinrayholmes]

Try as I may, I will never understand why this station still don't exist. I sure do miss it!

[CadillacL]

Spike TV took what we loved (TNN) CMT is nothing but, MTV country-style (if you want to call it country. This was true down-home country shows. I'm sure I speak

for MANY people, we want TNN back the REAL TNN.

[pepsibottleq]

Give me back my TNN you bastards!

[nomadcowatbk]

If they were still on the air, they'd probably be flooded

[fueldragster]

Where's The American Sports Cavalcade?

[johnnyafairbanks]

"Dancin' USA"? I think that show later went to the USA Network, moved production (and format) to Philadelphia, and was renamed "Dance Party USA".

[CadillacL]

Don't think its the same Dancin' USA.

[OPEJunkie]

Life seemed so much simpler back then......although I didn't get cable untill about 1986. I was 11 then and TNN was the most watched in my house....miss it very much.

[CadillacL]

I loved it too. Those early years were So good. How i wish somehow there was a retro TNN shannel or somebody who has ways to get old copies of episodes.

[CadillacL]

Nashville Now, Fandango, You Can Be A Star, New Country, Fire on the Mountain, Dancin' U.S.A.. The list goes on & on.

I sure miss this. Wish We can get these shows back.

[trivia202003]

There were a few shows that I remember on TNN. A couple of them were "You Can Be a Star" and "Fandango".

[zachhoran]

You Can Be a Star was definitely patterned after Star Search.

[Tnman3]

Iffin' I didn't know any better, I'd swear that CK bears a strikin' resemblence to a CP that I knowed that did him some radio in Knoxville......

[ACcountryFan]

this was a neat video!! i loved TNN and hated seeing it leave the country music format.

[gshowguy]

Fuck Spike TV. TNN lives on!!! (I wish TNN didn't surrender their love of country music.)

[ACcountryFan]

here's hoping RFD-TV eventually finds it's way to more TV sets; it's a small channel that focuses on agriculture but it has several country music programs that air. this is where Ralph Emery's latest talk show airs as well as Crook and Chase...Hee-Haw...Marty Stuart has his own show on RFD-TV patterned after Porter's TV show. Marty's cast include his wife, Connie Smith, and banjo player/comedian LeRoy Troy. Eddie Stubbs, a DJ on WSM, is the show's announcer. i don't have RFD...i wish i did.

[CadillacL]

ME TOO! TNN FOREVER! It was a SAD day when TNN left & turn to Spike. Those early days (Nashville Now, Fandango, You Can Be a Star, Dancin' U.S.A., Fire on the Mountain, THOSE were WONDERFUL shows. I wish somoen would bring back the channel somehow (a Classic TNN) I don't have satelte so i dont' get RFDTV.

@CadillacL In between in 2000-2003 TNN became National Network instead of Nashville Network.

[nwest1140]

@gshowguy How about the NEW TNN, The National Network. That brings me back memories of 2002/2003.

[CadillacL]

@gshowguy You & me both.

[CadillacL]

You & me both.
