Revision as of 05:46, 7 October 2009
USA Network to Canada Citation
I have a citation that this network could come to digital cable and satellite network in Canada —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.118.108.222 (talk) 16:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
Live Stream Link Dead
I have tried clicking on the link and it's confirmed that the link is actually a dead link. So there's no USA Network live stream. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.247.109.101 (talk) 01:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC).
What was this show?
I remember after Monk and The Dead Zone came on, I read an article talking about a new USA show about a cop who was shot in head, was "clinically dead for two minutes and clinically insane for two years", lost the ability to sense fear, and was now tackling tough cases. Does anyone know what the name of that show was? Evernut 00:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
no show like that, maybe some idoit started a rumor combining both plots of monk and the dead zone for some reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.70.92 (talk) 02:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
I found out what it was. I was thinking of the adaptation of Touching Evil. Evernut (talk) 22:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
- The name of that show is "Touching Evil" starring Vera Farminga, produced by Bruce Willis and The Hughes Brothers. Coffee4binky (talk) 16:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Captain USA
Article needs to mention the Captain USA presenter, a Ghoulardi-type presence —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 20:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- This article is too slanted on a "happy" stance towards the network, and not listing an shows, hosts, or general USAness that the network used to have before NBC bought 'em and turned them into the repeat channel. No mention of Cartoon Express or a links thereof.Coffee4binky (talk) 16:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
CharactersUnite.com
Anyone think mentioning USA's new pledge website would be appropriate in theis article? 98.28.114.174 (talk) 02:10, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Sharing time with BET and CSPAN?
The article mentions this occuring "at one time" but no clue as to when this occurred. I wonder if it was only the case that the person who added this factoid had their local provider share channel space that way, because it certainly never happened on my system. We got cable in 1982, and we always had USA, but didn't get BET until the late 90's, so maybe it happened earlier in USA's lifespan, but I doubt it. Likewise, TV Guide always listed them seperately in the edition for this area, despite what the article claims, leading me to further think it was just the editor's local cable system saving channels by making them share.76.234.130.39 (talk) 03:33, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Removed "Logo controversy" section
I removed this text from the "Logo controversy" section:
Many have observed that the current version of the USA Network logo uses negative space to evoke the phallic image of a letter U and a letter A with two dueling penises.
It was unsourced, and it may qualify as vandalism, although I have to admit that it's strangely true if you look at the logo... Is there a legitimate external source that claims it's a "genuine" controversy? Skaraoke (talk) 05:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
