tbs or tnt?

The holiday tradition of airing A Christmas Story for 24 straight hours starts Christmas Eve on both TBS and TNT. TBS begins their 24-hour extravaganza at 8 p.m. while TNT starts their marathon at 9 p.m.

tnt usually has better sound, classier crowd.

TNT all the way. When I was a kid I was all about the TBS..now that I'm older..more mature..it's gotta be TNT.

same.

a couple years ago, the roughneck levels in the tbs crowd, really became too much for me to handle with my sophisticated sensibilities.

Only people like Scut Farkus would watch on TBS.

Awesome. Kid's a legend. It's funny how Ralphie sort of drives the whole thing forward, but all of the other kids are so much more memorable, to me at least; Flick and the pole, Randy, and Scut & Grover.

TNT and TBS are both Ted Turner stations, so its not a competition...it's double dipping!
