In the world of tv shows, "classic" means whatever I was watching as a kid to me. So, yeah, that includes old B&W I Love Lucy episodes, because they were in syndication at the time. But MacGuyver fits, too.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I need to at least in theory reasonably be able to have kids to whom the show would be at all meaningful before fixtures of my childhood are on TVLand or Nick at Night.
(i.e.-I'm too young for MacGuyver to be "Classic tv", dammit)

Oh, and if you haven't been spoiled for Million Dollar Baby, don't read the Globe and Mail arts page, they give away a big plot point in a headline by stating what groups are protesting the movie.

Thrive to spite them
If we're talking about channels that have strayed from their origins I'd say A&E (Arts and Entertainment) has gone pretty far away from that, they are still heavy on the entertainment but pretty light on the arts.
And then there is the practically music video - less MTV and VH1.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not that there are many videos I want to see these days as popular music and I parted company a long time ago. I'm sure the expensive cable package has channels that show the '80s videos, but I only pay 23 bucks a month for cable and I'm keeping it that way.

VH-1 Classic. ijs. All kinds of cool videos, neatly lumped by your preferred era and/or genre from Metal to Alternative.

When I was at the theatre at the Grove, I think last weekend?, there was a costume in the lobby from some movie where Alan Cumming plays Loki. It was pretty cool.

Which does not appear as one of my cable choices. Grr ....
