H&I Network runs TOS, TNG, DS9, STV, and Enterprise six nights a week.

TOS was progressive as hell for its time, but the stories were very American and represented the ethos of western civilization quite well. I like tuning into the last ten minutes of each show every now and then since I've seen them all a dozen times each, and there is usually some great, timeless wisdom dropped then.

TNG is utter marxist trash. Nearly every episode is bent and twisted to somehow shoehorn a leftarded lesson into it. I think of that shit as a cringe emetic. I'm glad Gomer Pyle comes on at the same time.

The other three series didn't even try to hide the fact that they were soap operas.

I only got over-the-air TV for about a year and a half after I bought my first house and H&I and ION were the only channels I watched.

TOS and Blue Bloods were my staples. Blue Bloods really won me over with the fact that it's pretty much the only TV series where I've seen what I would consider a fair portrayal of Catholicism and its values. After years of modern shows where the only representation of my faith was corrupt bishops and abusive priests, I actually teared up a bit when I realized that every single episode ended with the whole family getting together to pray before Sunday dinner.
