Anyone hear this CRAP about Spike lee trying to sue TNN about them changing their name to "spike TV" he has been out of the limelight so long he will try anything to get back in it.  Do you know how many Spikes there are in the world?   There wont be a court hearing till september and he has already cost them 16 million in advertising alone.....what a PUTZ!

He is a putz for sure, but then what is TNN? They admitted that his name had something to do with it.

OK, on the one hand we have a writer and director who has made some outstanding films that will be remembered as great american cinema.

A crappy cable network that is currently best known for airing Baywatch, Star Trek: TNG, and Wrestling.

And you side with TNN?  

Whatever.  That gets a great big one of these:  :rolleyes:

...........u need to be slapped,lol jk

their now starting to do good stuff. the best show is on saturdays called Extreme Elimination. its a bunch of chinese people doing weird events. the way the script is dubbed it kinda stupid but who cares cuz its funny as hell to see people eat crap(not literally of course)

now with the spike tv their bringing back Ren and Stimpy which was an awesome show and a couple others. the one with the rat already pisses me off for some reason though. probably cuz they play it every commercial.

I like Spike TV, Extreme Elimination CHallenge, Gary the Rat, Striperella, Ren and Stimpy, super 2ner tv, Trucks, The Power Block, lot of movies, etc...

And if Spike Lee wins this lawsuit, what will be next Michael J. Fox suing FOX network?

Yes and no.

I hate it b/c it is one of those frivolous(sp?) lawsuits..yet it does have some type of merit.

His name in the industry is his likelyness. It would be similar if any of you wanted to be a ring announcer and said " we are about tp rumble" expect to be sued by associates of Micheal Buffer.

Well I have had this debate with my boss several times for this is very old news.  He thinks Spike Lee is ubsurd for bringing this to court.  I mean why should an individual be able to tell a company they can\'t use a word as their name?

But here is how I feel.  There are a ton of channels out there.  Maxim is coming out with a channel, the NFL is coming out with one, hell there is even a channel dedicated to SARS.  How do you know Spike Lee was never planning on venturing into starting his own BET and naming it SPIKE?  IT is extremely possible.  It would instantly have the name recognition that BET has as being geared towards African Americans.

That being said we\'re in negotiations with whatever that network is called for another show.  Doh.

Well it\'s not exactly a popularity contest.  Wesley Snipes & Will Smith are actors.  Spike Lee is a writer / director / producer who also acts.  That puts him a step above actors.

no TNN is a TV station owned by Viacom (CBS, MTV,MTV2, and nickelodeon I think), and they wanted to change their name to "Spike TV", they were all set-up to make the change last monday (16th) until spike lee put his nose into it and now ther wont be a change until atleast fall if TNN wins their lawsuit.  But atleast those 3 new shows are still debuting next week.

I heard David Duke is starting a White Entertainment TV and calling it "Duke TV"

:rolleyes:

Like cable TV needs another channel to slap whitey around... ;)

Spike TV is a dumb name for a tv channel anyway.  Maybe if it were a volleyball channel or something.  It\'s supposed to be "the first network for men" (which is a debate in and of itself), why don\'t they call it something manly, like Teste TV.  TNN needs to hire some new marketing people, because their ideas suck.

Now the programming is good!  I watch all kinds of stuff on TNN.  Extreme Elimination is great after a doobie.  Don\'t give a shit what name they end up with.
