I dont know if anybody has been watching enough TBS to notcie this but there tagline is 'Very Funny' and for some reason they are showing previews for movies that they are going to be showing and two of those movies are "Scream 3" and "The Others".I know what your thinking, when you think comedy you think horror movies(sarcasm intended there).Dont you think this is wierd.I saw the same kinda thing on TNT a few weeks ago when they did a preview of "The Waterboy" and afterwards it said 'We Know Drama".

TBS & TNT are both victims of AOL/Time Warner's blunder in letting Jamie Kellnor run the Networks. In 2001 Kellnor pretty much blew the company 60 million dollars in a sale of WCW to Fusciant Media.
Kellnor axed both WCW shows off TBS and TNT. Even at suck levels WCW did better ratings than any show on the networks at the time. Kellnor justified it by saying they wanted to appeal to a broader base of fans.
TNT has only just recovered after years of mis-management due to Kellnor . The Closer has saved thier reputation. But TBS..the moment WCW Thunder was pulled , was the moment that network went south. Now TBS Is considered a joke cable station and Turner has made inquiries he may buy it back at some point.

I'm still mad about not being able to find Braves games on TBS when I want to. I spent a decade and a half of 100 games a year on TBS, and it's been a lot less lately. All so they can air syndicated mediocre sitcoms. Stupid AOL/Time-Warner.
