AMC original series "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" . TV Land original reality series "Reunion " based on reuniting high school classmates after 20 years. Am I the only one who expects to find american classic movies on AMC, or old tv shows on TV Land?

I understand your point, but it's about the quality of the programming. If they're good shows, then it's no big deal.

And honestly... have you ever looked at AMC's scheduling? There are some good ones on there, but they broke your rule- about showing things that aren't "American Movie Classics"- a long time ago.

For instance, right now, they're airing "Hope Floats". At 2:00, they're showing "Death Wish II". On Thursday, they'll air "Blues Brothers 2000", "Species", "Throw Momma From the Train", and "Murder by Numbers". Hardly "Classics".

How dare you say "Throw Momma from the Train" is not a classic!
