Is there a reason by CBS is known as the Tiffany Network?

[VintageTelevision]

CBS received the nickname during the Frank Stanton/William Paley administration because the Network was associated with high standards of quality and taste.

Jeezus, I remember watching so many of the shows shown here...now, I hardly watch CBS or the other networks at all as most of what they air is total crap. So sick of all reality shows!

[VintageTelevision]

Television's decline correlates to the deregulation of the broadcasting industry which was championed by President Reagan in the 1980s. Although the number of video channels has increased dramatically over the years, the quality of programming has generally decreased.

CBS isn't easy on the eyes anymore since they have their stupid logo on the screen all the time!

[VintageTelevision]

I dislike the now-ubiquitous logos that are plastered on all TV channels now. But CBS was the last of the networks to do this, and I think their small translucent Eye is the most tasteful and least intrusive of the bunch.

Even the flops look good!

Before ABC got hot in the mid/late '70s with Happy Days, Love Boat, etc., CBS owned network TV. MASH, All in The Family, Maude, The Waltons, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett, Mary Tyley Moore....geeze, it looks like a TV All-Star team. Network TV today is a joke compared to those days.

The 1973-74 CBS lineup was incredible, as were some of the other shows that debuted the following year: Good Times, Rhoda, The Jeffersons, and One Day at a Time. No doubt, this was a golden age in television!

Thank goodness TV stations have learned to move theirs so as not to be placed over/under it.

It was that TIKI GOD Greg found!

Perhaps it's more correct to note the same programs are on many channels or else SPINOFFS of not only programs but also SPINOFF CHANNELS!

WHEEEEEEE!
