Yeah..thanks alot for taking what was for me must see television, to one of the worst channels on my subscription package. I was literally telling every friend I know about this new cool channel where we can see Miami Vice without jamie foxx or colin farrel. we can see the programs that were the templates for the rest of the crime shows we see on television now (which pretty much stink to high heaven). you could not imagine how many people I know who started watching just for new york undercover alone. again, people were making sure to be home by 6pm(n.y time) just to watch a program they miss and have not seen in over 10 years. How does a channel go from must see t.v to nonsense that we can see on the other channels, ad nauseum? I lost faith in t.v with the surge of really bad 'reality' shows and such, and I thought I may have found something really good and mature enough to hold the attention of a person with the IQ that is above freezing temp. Unfortunately, the peole behind the scenes are not as focused on giving us really good classic programming we couldn't find anywhere else on cable, the primary focus seemns to be to follow an already 'succesful' model and to run with it! No wonder the channel now looks like PAX television. All of this happened within a month.. this is a classic example of how to screw up an otherwise promising channel. I guess it's back to torrents for me, it seems to be the only way to see teh kind of programming I like..and dare I say the kind of programming a good portion of america liked at one time. sorry for the rant guys, but I am genuinely pissed off. what the hell is happening to our great country? it seems no one listens to US(fans etc) anymore.smh

Great post, I am baffled, other than the ads were not keeping the channel afloat. It has been a major disappointment, to the point where we have stopped watching.

they seem to be investing a whole lot into this "da vinci's inquest" nonsense..smh

I know what you mean. This network went from the best network on television to the worst overnight. This network has endless problems. The major problem is the lineup. I've never heard of these shows, let alone watched them. Then there's no variety. It's the same crap on 2 and 3 times a day. I mean how many times do they think someone wants to watch Davinci's Inquest. How old is the person doing the television lineup and schedule because my 7 years old can do a heck of a lot better!! I hope whoever use to have Sleuth make a new network playing our old favorites and put this network out of business. I don't even watch the channel anymore and neither does my friends. I mean who needs 2 USA Channels? I can't understand it at all. All I can come up with is that perhaps the person who now owns Sleuth once act on one of these Dead End shows and they want to finally see themselves on television. Whatever the case maybe I hope this network is cancelled soon!!! Or someone is FIRED!!!

I agree SLEUTH SUCKS. What a disappointment. I am a late night / early morning viewer. I depended on Sleuth for good "cop" programming. Now it's not Sleuth anymore. BAD move. I haven't watched since they took off Miami Vice, the Homicide shows, etc. I keep checking back but like EVERYONE is saying NOTHING is on. Sleuth put on MOVIES??? CSI shows?????? GIVE US WHAT SLEUTH MEANS "COP" SHOWS.

This current FAQ is even insulting. I copied it directly from the FAQ section of this website just a few minutes ago. This is false advertisement!

I guess someone read my previous message, but they still don't get it. Instead of improving the programming, they just rapidly updated the information on the site. I gave this channel a fair three months. The shows have not improved, but I am still willing to give it a periodic check for another 3-5 months. You should note that," from NBC Universal’s vast collection," has been dropped from the answer this time.


The updated answer:


I can't be completely negative here. The movies have improved a bit since the FAQ was last updated. It would be nice to see pre1980's sleuth films mixed in more often though. Sleuth has also aired a good variety of James Bond films on several occasions. These marathons have been great. No other channel has really done this in several years. It is nice that Sleuth is doing this. Perhaps, the programmers are testing the waters for a two week uncut marathon much like TBS did regularly over a decade ago. That is a fantastic marketing point for 007 fans looking for the marathon.

On the same page with the 007 movies, why do the promos keep showing clips from Daniel Craig's films? Sleuth has aired neither Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace yet, or has it? I do not ever remember seeing its advertised broadcast air dates. This is definitely not something that I would miss easily. Once again this can be considered false advertisement.
