I remember when USA Network use to have The Stepfather marathon on!

I could remember back in the early to mid 90's when USA Network would show a marathon of The Stepfather and many other horror films as well. Now all USA Network wants to show is nothing but the same rerun TV shows like everybody else does.

If the executive programmer at USA Network or NBC was smart they would be showing movies like this once again on TV. I would love to see that!

Back in 1988, when I first became aware of USA Network, it showed nothing but horror and sci-fi stuff. It would remain that way into the early '90s. As the '90s progressed it slowly but surely started turning into what it is now. The current USA Network bears no resemblance whatsoever to the USA Network of the late '80s.

I would watch USA Network back when they would show like Kung Fu Theatre on Sunday afternoons, I was a kid when they had USA Network's Cartoon Express. I would watch a ton of great shows and movies on there. No the reason why USA Network no longer bears no resemblance to the USA Network of the late 80's is because NBC bought the rights to USA Network. That is why and they also altred what they showed as well on USA Network. USA Network is like a NBC2 but instead a sister station though.
