My Own TV Channel

If you had your own TV channel, how would you program it?

Mine would carry:

Marx Brothers movies

The Three Stooges, but only episodes with Curly. No Shemp or that other guy.

I Love Lucy

The Mary Tyler Moore Show

The Bob Newhart Show (the show from the 70s, with Suzanne Pleshette)

Star Trek - all of them

Tremors, but only the original, not Tremors II, III or IV

1950s B monster movies - heavy on Godzilla and his buddies

Plan 9 from Outer Space - bad enough to get its own time slot

Star Wars - the first movie, now known as Episode IV

Abbott and Costello

Classic Disney animation (we're assuming I could afford the enormous licensing fees I would have to pay)

Of course, the classic "Disneyland" TV series

Die Hard I

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

The Carol Burnett Show

A&E's version of Pride and Prejudice

The Dean Martin Show

Maybe the Ed Sullivan Show

The Alan Shepard launch, the John Glenn launch, and the Apollo 11 launch and moon landing

Have Gun, Will Travel

Maverick

Topper - the TV series

The Red Skelton Show

I Married Joan

December Bride

Bachelor Father

The People's Choice

Magnum PI

Soap

The Rockford Files

77 Sunset Strip

Cannon

The Saint

Mannix

There are more - I will add to this as I think of them.
