Because TV Networks hate us, and program their entire existences around making us upset. (And, since a growing number of people can't tell the difference, YES, that was sarcasm. I just love it when I have to explain sarcasm to folks) [/quote]
I can't see a GSN Classics channel either, but I disagree with the reasoning. In reality, contrary to popular belief, programmers do not really want to watch the programs--they want us to watch the commercials so we can buy the products so advertisers can give them the money it takes to survive.

Of course, therein lies a logic of reasoning that networks REALLY should listen to their viewers DIRECTLY, when possible, rather than advertisers, focus groups, etc. Cause, at the end of the day, we're the one buyign the products. SO, if we're not watching, who is? These make believe people that the advertisers and Mr. Nielsen convince networks exist?
