Specials & Marathons




- Elvis Month
All month long weekdays at 12pm and Fri-Sun at 8pm
Includes TV Land Myths and Legends: Elvis (special)
on Thursday, August 16 at 10 p.m. ET/PT -- 30th Anniversary of Elvis' Death
Based on the popularity of season one of TV Land Myths & Legends, this half-hour special coincides with TV Land's month-long salute to Elvis Presley. Thirty years after his death, TV Land takes an in-depth look at some of the most popularly held mysteries about the "King of Rock and Roll" and dissects them to separate fact from fiction.

TV Land Original:
TV Land’s Myths & Legends (Elvis edition) - Thurs, Aug. 16 at 10pm & 1:10am; Friday, Aug. 17 at 7:30pm; Saturday, Aug. 18 at 9am; Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 2:30pm; Friday, Aug. 24 at 11:30am; Saturday, Aug. 25 at 12:30pm

Movies featuring Elvis:
Aloha From Hawaii - Elvis Presley performs in Honolulu, Hawaii, in this 1973 concert. Elvis made television and entertainment history as this was the first-ever live concert broadcast over satellite, reaching in excess of one billion people worldwide. - Sunday, Aug. 19 at 8pm; Friday, Aug. 24 at 12pm

Easy Come, Easy Go - Tuesday, Aug 14 at 12pm

Fun in Acapulco - Elvis stars a former circus acrobat named Mike who finds himself south of the border after a deadly trapeze accident. Mike is discovered by a 10 year old shoeshine boy (Larry Domasin), who helps him land a job as a lifeguard and lounge singer at a local hotel. Between songs, one of which, “Guadalajara”, is sung by Elvis in Spanish, Mike becomes romantically entangled with both lady bullfighter Dolores Gomez (Elsa Cardenas) and the hotel’s social manager Marguerita (Ursula Andress). Fun and campy, the beach dance scenes are classic Elvis fun. - Tuesday, Aug. 7 at 12pm; Thursday, Aug. 30 at 12pm

Girl Happy - Struggling up and coming musician Rusty Wells (Elvis Presley) would do almost anything, and almost does, to get a gig, including baby sitting the local mob boss’s daughter (Shelley Fabares) during her spring break trip to Ft Lauderdale, Florida. During this uproarious beachside adventure, Elvis dresses in drag, foils a would-be Romeo, and ends up falling for the girl himself. Hilarity ensues as we watch Rusty's adventure to get that gig. - Friday, Aug. 10 at 12pm; Monday, Aug. 27 at 12pm

Live a Little, Love a Little - By far one of most adult roles of Elvis’s film career, Live a Little Love a Little follows Greg Nolan (Presley), a news and fashion photographer, as he falls in love with the beautiful but crazy Bernice (Michele Carey). Bernice’s multiple personalities cause Greg to loose both his apartment and job, which leads to him sharing an apartment, and an on screen bed, with Bernice. The film is highlighted by several rumble scenes; a marked change from Elvis’s more passive roles, and an ‘edge of reality’ dream sequence. - Wednesday, Aug. 15 at 12pm

Love Me Tender - A young Elvis Presley made his historic film debut in this riveting western set during the conclusion of the Civil War. He plays the youngest of four brothers, and the only one too young to go off to fight in the war. When his brothers return home, bringing with them a stolen Union payroll, they find that Presley married his oldest brother’s (Richard Egan) girl, a source of understandable tension. Debra Paget co-stars in this period drama
Friday, Aug 3 at 8pm; Saturday, Aug. 4 at 1pm; Wednesday, Aug. 8 at 12pm; Friday, Aug. 31 at 12pm

Paradise Hawaiian Style - Paradise Hawaiian Style follows Presley as young Rick Richards in his ambitious fight to survive as a helicopter pilot with a failing Hawaiian charter service. With his friend Danny Kohana (James Shigeta) and sassy co-pilot/secretary Judy (Suzanna Leigh) by his side, Rick experiences the day to day struggle of making a living in paradise. - Mon. Aug, 13 at 12pm; Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 12pm

Roustabout - Fate had it in for troubadour Charlie Rogers (Presley), when he crashes his motorcycle into a traveling carnival. As a relationship develops between Charlie and the carnival owner’s daughter, he is faced with the choice between continuing his wandering ways and keeping the girl. An entertaining film studded with music and choreographed numbers, Roustabout has it all. - Thursday, Aug. 9 at 12pm; Wednesday, Aug. 29 at 12pm

Wild in Country - Elvis Presley’s dramatic role as a Glenn, a troubled, alcoholic youth is riveting as Wild in the Country follows his journey through counseling, run-ins with the law and his growing relationship with his teacher and mentor Irene (Hope Lange). Irene helps Glenn discover his passion for writing, creating an outlet for Glenn’s emotional turmoil, and Presley’s music, as he is tempted back to his bad-boy ways by Noreen (Tuesday Weld), a local bad-girl. - Monday, Aug. 6 at 12pm; Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 12pm


Mini-series/Retrospectives:
Elvis and Me, Part 1 - Based on 1986’s phenomenal #1 New York Times Best Seller, made-for-TV movie Elvis And Me, tells the life of Elvis through the eyes of the only woman who could legally call Elvis her husband, Priscilla Presley - Saturday, Aug. 4 at 8pm; Friday, Aug. 10 at 8pm; Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 12pm

Elvis and Me, Part 2 - Based on 1986’s phenomenal #1 New York Times Best Seller, made-for-TV movie Elvis And Me, tells the life of Elvis through the eyes of the only woman who could legally call Elvis her husband, Priscilla Presley - Sunday, Aug. 5 at 8pm; Friday, Aug 17 at 8pm; Thursday, Aug. 23 at 12pm

Elvis by the Presleys - The story of Elvis Presley's extraordinary life is given a new, unique twist with these recollections from his former wife, Priscilla, and daughter Lisa Marie. Originally aired on CBS in 2005, ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS offers endlessly fascinating anecdotes from the glamorous pair, while also offering viewers the chance to pour over some rarely seen footage and photographs from the Presley Estate. Archival footage of Elvis' home movies provide special interest, as these have never previously been made available for public consumption. Priscilla generously presents her side of the story, offering wonderful insight in what life with The King was like, while Lisa Marie also chips in with a few remembrances of Elvis from her younger days. This is a great chance for Elvis fans to glimpse what life was like within the inner-sanctum of their hero. - Thursday, Aug. 16 at 8pm; Friday, Aug. 24 at 8pm

Elvis: His Best Friend Remembers - A remarkable illustrated interview with longtime Elvis buddy Joe Esposito, who met Presley in the Army and stayed a member of the "Memphis Mafia" for the rest of the King's life (and death--his account of finding Elvis's body is fascinating). Random footage from newsreels and various Presley press conferences is cut into the interview, along with a lot of vintage '60s Polaroids. - Thursday, Aug. 16 at 12pm; Monday, Aug. 20 at 12pm

Concerts/Musical Appearances :

68 Comeback Special - An incredible treasure trove of footage documenting a high point of the King's career and a milestone of televised musical performances. Taped and broadcast in 1968 after Elvis had seemingly abandoned live performing in favor of a movie career, the '68 Comeback Special was a remarkably intimate show, Elvis singing his old songs on a small stage, often alone, surrounded on all sides by a rapt audience. - Sunday, Aug. 12 at 8pm; Friday, Aug. 17 at 12pm

Ed Sullivan's Rock & Roll Classics: Elvis - Share the excitement of Elvis’ earth-shattering introduction to the nation and experience for yourself why Elvis became the legendary King of Rock and Roll. Appearing on the show Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis sent shock waves through a repressed nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV audience of more than 60 million people. Presley returned on Oct. 28, 1956, continuing to provoke ecstatic screams with hits such as "Don't Be Cruel," "Love Me Tender" and "Hound Dog." In fact, these exhilarating performances were so explosive that Elvis was filmed above the waist during his final Sullivan show appearance on January 6, 1957. - Thursday, Aug. 17 at 7:30pm

Elvis on Tour - Director Robert Abel presents a marvelous look at Elvis, using concert, rehearsal and backstage footage, as well as clips from the early days of his career (and a wonderful montage of him kissing his co-stars while "Love Me Tender" is performed). While Elvis looks in great shape from the neck down (with the athletic flexibility to do his deep leg lunges), his face shows much dissipation however, and tells another story; the feeling one gets from this film is of a desperately sad man, a hurting soul, putting a brave mask on for the world. There is also not even a flicker of ego...we see only a hard-working guy, with not a shred of arrogance. He wears his flashy clothes with grace, style and humility, and sings his heart out, and it's a beautiful thing to see. - Sunday, Aug. 26 at 8pm

-Back to the Grind
Wednesdays at 10:30PM starting July 18
This half-hour series takes iconic TV performers -- from Loni Anderson to Harry Anderson and other actors not named "Anderson" -- and has them perform the real-life version of the jobs their characters held on Classic TV shows like WKRP in Cincinnati and Night Court. Other performers featured include Erik Estrada, Marla Gibbs, Sherman Hemsley, Betty White, Mark Curry, Bea Arthur, Ed Begley Jr. and Jimmie "J.J." Walker.

Wednesday, August 1, 2007
10:30PM - #003 – Betty White & Mark Curry
Betty White attempts to host her very own cooking show for real – like she did in her Emmy-Award winning role as “Sue Ann Nivens” on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The only problem is that she hates spending time in the kitchen. Plus, Hanging With Mr. Cooper star Mark Curry is given the challenge of coaching an actual high school basketball team to a game day victory or defeat.

Wednesday, August 8, 2007
10:30PM- #005 – Jimmie Walker & Harry Anderson
Like his character “JJ” on Good Times, Jimmie Walker tries his hand as a painter and takes real art classes -- painting nude models -- eventually displaying his self-portrait at an art gallery showing. He’s in for a surprise when a special guest star shows up to buy his “artwork.” Then, Night Court’s Harry Anderson punches in at a New Orleans courthouse for a day – attempting to learn what it takes to really be a judge. Only Harry Anderson would somehow manage to officiate a real life wedding during his tenure as a judge.

Wednesday, August 15, 2007
10:30PM - #004 – Bea Arthur & Ed Begley, Jr.
She played a tutor on the Golden Girls, but now Bea Arthur takes on one of the greatest roles of her illustrious career -- teaching and tutoring college SAT prep classes to a group of feisty teenagers! Then, St. Elsewhere’s Ed Begley, Jr. recreates his TV job by working at St. Joseph’s hospital for a day – with tasks ranging from manning the information booth to serving lunches to patients and even conquers his biggest fear – taking blood.

[JulieSomoski]

This is absolutely crazy! Why even have a weekly schedule for this channel, when all they do is preempt it every single night! Seriously - the schedule is just a complete schedule of shows. No matter theire ratings are dipping: no one knows when a show is on!

Plus, they are going way too overboard on this whole Elvis thing. They are destroying there afternoon lineup and weekends to air Elvis movies and specials. It's crazy! And, we get 2 episodes of Three's Company, in really bad slots, a night? Pavan, does this have to do with running out of airplays, or because of bad ratings? I know three's Company's contract ends in September - will it get renewed?

At least we get The Jeffersons back i primetime (for a few nights here and there). Finally I see a change in the right direction, especially with there primetime lineup (excluding EM: HM)

[Pavan]

Three's Company's current contract expires August 31. Airplays are very low, that is why only one episode a night with an encore. No idea yet if they will renew, but it is likely.

[JulieSomoski]

That's what I thought. Thanks.

Also, do you know when All in the Family's Contract expires, and if it will be renewed? I wasn't sure if it was already renewed, or will be soon.

[Pavan]

All in the Family expires at the end of September. I have no idea if it will be renewed. Good Times expires at the end of June, but it will be renewed.

Other shows expiring in 2007: Bonanza (end of August) and What's Happening!!/What's Happening Now!! (end of October)

No info on renewals, besides Good Times.

[Dennis Dubois]

Even though the schedule is very confusing, the weekends seem better with not much of the westerns then. I actually like it.

[Pavan]

Westerns will be Sundays and Mondays in August.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I think All in The Family will be Renewed After The end of September

[clj2]

Why on earth so many I Love Lucy episodes on the weekends? Heavens to betsy! I wonder if it will be a victim of low airplays soon..

[Scoobiedoo30]

The I Love Lucy must be a rerun

[Pavan]

They are max playing Lucy it seems. Tons of encores on weekends. Remember encores within 24 hours do not count as an airplay.

[Scoobiedoo30]

what does Max playing mean

[EmoJoe]

I Love Lucy was kind of robbed of airplay for the past few years so i don't think it's a big deal that it's getting a lot of airtime.

they need to stop with the off-the-clock bullcrap though, its annoying. the only good thing N@N has done lately was dump that, TV Land should follow. i dont really watch either networks though. lol.

[Scoobiedoo30]

How long Has I Love Lucy been on TV Land

[Pavan]

Max playing means they are airing the episodes twice within 24-hours, taking advantage of the plays. The second play within 24 hours is really a free play.

And Lucy has been on TV Land since 2001...come on Aaron, you knew that. 50th anniversary was in 2001.

Also, everyone make sure yo read the blog on this month, so you know what is going on schedule wise: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2007/06/tv-land-august-schedule-includes-month.html

[Scoobiedoo30]

thanks for letting me know what Mix Playing Means Pavan And Pavan
I will be checking out The log On EWednesday, June 13, 2007
is Wednesday Blog about The Fall Schedule

[clj2]

I don't understand this way of scheduling....what happened to having a M-F schedule, a Saturday and a Sunday schedule (that were different only in mornings and afternoons)? I remember prime time was the same lineup 7 nights a week until 2005 or so. ahhh...2001-2004...those were the days!!!

TV Land is turning in to a bunch of clutter, just like MTV, TBS, etc - different schedules every day and tons of pre-empting. I predict it'll eventually be 50/50 with baby boomer 'lifestyle'-type programs, special programs, reality programs, etc...like the movies, Elvis specials, originals, etc.

[Pavan]

The Elvis month has complicated things. It should be better by September.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I wonder if there will be new show's in September

[catsrule]

I can make a better schedule than TVLand. The first thing I would do is get rid of the stupid off the clock schedule. Then I would limit the movies (including the Elvis ones) to two airings a week. Then I would make a weekday schedule that would be the same all five days. Here's how I would do the schedule.

Do you think we will every see Night Court Again on TV Land

[catsrule]

Do you think we will every see Night Court Again on TV Landprobably not

[Scoobiedoo30]

what about Cheers

[USATVFAN]

Are The Jeffersons doing better which is why it back in primetime?
Because Originally It Was Taken out of primetime Because the ratings were not that good.
i was just starting to like three's Company when tv land had to move it in the late nigh.
and i don't really care for M*a*s*h so it can get shifted a hour.
i think Tv Land Should Put All In The Family At 5:00 And 5:30pm slot.
I Would stick Andy at 4:00 And 4:30pm that way All In The Family Can Have A Good Lead in.
and Last i would move Little House Prairie to 3pm.

[catsrule]

I just realized I forgot to put Green Acres on the schedule.

[Scoobiedoo30]

that is ok.

[JulieSomoski]

Your schedule is much better than what TVLand has right now, especially since you got Murphy Brown and Cheers on in decent slots.

Also, do you know what shows are coming to the network in the future?

[catsrule]

Sadly Scrubs and Just Shoot Me are coming. :( I don't know of any other shows coming, Pav would probably know.

[Pavan]

No shows have been announced to the public besides Just Shoot Me for January 2008 and Scrubs for October 2008. Designing Women was slated for October 2007, not sure if it will still happen. There was supposed to be a Laugh-In stunt for this September...again, not sure if it is still happening.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Thanks For The Update Pavan

Pavan,
on the ask tvland link board on tvland.com link said that the Laugh-In been delay untill January 2008 asktvlandlink board (http://www.tvland.com/boards/viewthread.jhtml?bID=56&tID=176171&mID=904065&offset=0)

[Jack1000]

President Larry Jones has turned this network into TOTAL CRAP!

Just when you think TV Land gets rid of the overplayed Westerns for the last 5 YEARS, they keep on replaying the same cut up commercial-ridden, edited movies 3x a week. I mean WTF? Are they having so much trouble getting licensing rights for classic shows that we are forced to watch movies that nobody cares about? Damn! If you want movies, get cable or dish, a premium channel or two, buy or rent the DVD's of the movies you want, and see them in their proper commercial free unedited glory.

What is the justification for these movies that people have seen 158 times? TV Land is supposed to be a home for classic TV shows, NOT movies! Such a move confuses the viewer at best. At worst, it alienates him/her to being forced to watch programing in the movies that certainly can NOT be bringing in good ratings. Or, does TV Land's decision to run such movies do nothing more than explain the new found philosophy of its programing budget, "cheap."

TV Land can't even properly program their few remaining classic shows into consistent time-slots! I echo what everyone has said above. TV Land has now become another "Super Station", or to put it bluntly, "Stupid Station!"

Jack

[wkomorow]

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ????? How is this classic tv? Maybe in 50 years. I would have expected this on ABC Family.

[JulieSomoski]

Yeah, Laugh-in is delayed until January 2008, and Designing Women is amost for sure coming in October.

TV Land and the City of Honolulu to Honor Elvis Presley With Life-Sized Sculpture on July 26, 2007


NEW YORK, June 26 -- TV Land and the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, will dedicate a life-sized bronze sculpture of Elvis Presley on Thursday, July 26 at 10 a.m. (HDT); it was announced today by Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land, and Mufi Hannemann, Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu. The statue will grace The Neal S. Blaisdell Center, formerly The Honolulu International Center, the site of Elvis' 1973 Aloha from Hawaii concert. The sculpture - which commemorates this historic Aloha from Hawaii event seen globally on television — portrays the King of Rock 'n' Roll as he appeared in that performance and pays tribute to him during the 30th Anniversary year of his passing. Then, in August, TV Land will celebrate Elvis Presley's work with a month-long tribute commemorating his legacy. This ultimate showcase includes: the '68 Comeback Special, Aloha from Hawaii, the documentary Elvis By The Presleys, his much-loved films like Love Me Tender and Wild in the Country, and the original special Myths and Legends: Elvis, which provides insight into some of the long-standing mysteries surrounding Presley.

TVLand.com will be the home of everything Elvis and pays tribute to the King. The site will offer images of the statue, an Elvis photo gallery, statue dedication footage and more.

"Elvis Presley is undoubtedly the ultimate icon of pop culture and one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century," states Larry W. Jones. "TV Land is thrilled to celebrate his life with this statue dedication and to honor him with a programming showcase this August so that fans will forever be reminded of his amazing legacy that continues to endure."

The tribute to Elvis includes:

Sculpture

This bronze sculpture is the network's sixth work to honor people, places and moments from pop culture by recognizing the site as a "TV Land Landmark."

Fans can visit TVLand.com to see photos, virtual tours of the statues as well as streaming video of some of the dedications.

Studio EIS, a three-dimensional design and sculpture studio in New York founded by brothers Ivan and Elliot Schwartz, is creating the life-sized bronze sculpture.

OMG! DOUBLE SHOT of Lucy at 3 and 3:30? 3 and 3:30 PM? On TV Land??????????????????????????? And double Beaver in the afternoon? Hallelujah!

Will these carry over into October?

And is Designing Women still coming in October?

[nickandmore]

Very glad to see Lucy on Tue-Fri at 3-4PM

Also, glad to see Cheers on Tue-Fri at 8:30AM. They need to bring the show back more (primetime/overnight).

[Dennis Dubois]

OK; is The Munsters and Addam's Family only cut down to weekends? TVLand dumped two shows to get the rights to these two back and they are cutting back on them already? Geez!

Two things I like are Cheers Tues-Fri at 8:30AM and Lucy at 3PM. Other than that, they cut back on variety EVEN more! RTN, please go national.

I don't have October details yet. These changes are for August. Not sure if these will carry over to September. September schedule was released last week, as we posted it, but it will likely change a bit now. We will let everyone know as soon as they announce.

[Pavan]

OK; is The Munsters and Addam's Family only cut down to weekends? TVLand dumped two shows to get the rights to these two back and they are cutting back on them already? Geez!

Yes, Munsters/Addams is just weekends 8-9am in August. No details yet if these changes will carry over into September.

Where's Green Acres in all of this? Weekends only? The variety keeps shrinking and shrinking...

Please, RTN, get on the ball..

[clj2]

Double post..

[Pavan]

Green Acres in August: Weekends at 9am

[Seth]

Cheers?! YIPPEE!!!!

[samanddiane4eva]

Yes for Cheers! Ever since the RTN stream went off, I've really been wanting daily airings. I just hope I can wake up by that time...

[Scoobiedoo30]

it good to see Cheers on TV Again at 7:30 am and I Love Lucy at 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm

[clj2]

I'm still in shock with all of this Lucy....but it seems to be fair they should stop the weekend marathons of it and air Addams on Saturday and Munsters on Sunday in its place. I mean 4x/day is a lot.

Wonder if they'll renew WH!!/WH!!N when they expire in October??

[Rezny@gmail.com]

I think that TVLand's schedule as it is now leaves a LOT to be desired.And the only TVLand shows I watch anymore are TVLand Confidential(Wednesday Airing Only) ,"The Addams amily","Green Acres"(seasons 4,5,and 6),and the first 3 seasons of "Sanford and Son".The rest of the shows that TVLand airs,I have very little interest in.Whatever happened to the "good old days"of TVLand?(And by "good old days",I mean when they had shows "I Dream of Jeannie","The Dick Van Dyke Show","Bewitched"on.)

[joefriday]

GOSH! Another lousy line-up change! The only thing consistent with their schedule is that it changes on a monthly basis!

I give up !!!

[clj2]

Yippee! According to TheLink, TV Land has acquired one of the new shows that he was hinting at a few weeks ago. These were the hints

2. One from the 1960s (which I believe is black and white crossing over into color)
3. Another from the 1960s which I believe is all color.
4. One from the 1970s.

They were going to acquire the 50s B&W Gunsmoke, but it fell through.

Please....let it be one of the 1960s shows..

[Dennis Dubois]

The 60s show from B+W in to color is a very hard one, because many shows that started in the early 60s transferred to color between 1965 and 1966. I would hope it was Petticoat Junction or The Beverly Hillbillies. They could also be getting Jeannie or Bewitched back, or My Three Sons. The possibilities are endless.

As for the all 60s color show, they could pick up That Girl on the main network instead of just online.

And the 70s show I wish would be Maude.

TVLand Fan, did TheLink mean that eventually three shows would be acquired, or just one of the three hints would be acquired?

[clj2]

Originally, there were four shows that were being negotiated for acquisition (sometimes negotiations can fall through) according to TheLink (there was a long discussion about it somewhere on the 'Ask TVLTheLink' board. One was a 50s show, one was a 60s transition show, one was a 60s show, and one was a 70s show.

The 50s show wsa the B/W Gunsmoke, apparently they couldn't come to terms with the syndicator and it is now off. One of the other three 'hinted' shows has been acquired and the other two are still in negotiation. So we'll see..

Pavanbadal, do you have any idea about this?? LOL

Update: According to TheLink, he should be able to say something by mid-week.

[Pavan]

It is only one 60s show (ran into the 70s, I believe). Coming in 2008. The other two are not even bought yet. That is all I will say. Please do not mention anywhere I said this.

[Scoobiedoo30]

What is the only show coming in 2008

[Pavan]

I just said I'm not saying anymore on this.

[clj2]

It is only one 60s show (ran into the 70s, I believe). Coming in 2008. The other two are not even bought yet. That is all I will say. Please do not mention anywhere I said this.

Sure. Another hint was they were all 30 minutes.

Hmmm...Beverly Hillbillies ran 62-71
Petticoat Junction was 63-70
Get Smart was 65-70

I guess it could be one of those three. I say Hillbillies.

[Pavan]

Could be Bewitched or Jeannie, too. Both ran into the 70s.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I Think it is Get Smart

[clj2]

True, Bewitched and Jeannie could be it. I say Bewitched if it was one of the two, it seemed to do better than Jeannie.

Another could be My Three Sons...

[Scoobiedoo30]

I am also hoping Petticoat Junction

[Dennis Dubois]

They should give another show a chance besides Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. They are great shows, but they were recently shown on TVLand for a while. They went off of TVLand last year. I can't wait to see.

[Pavan]

One would say since I said Bewitched and Jeannie, they can't be one of the shows. But maybe I'm tricking you all and saying them since you would think they are not them. LOL!

[Scoobiedoo30]

I say it is Jeannie

[clj2]

They should give another show a chance besides Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. They are great shows, but they were recently shown on TVLand for a while. They went off of TVLand last year. I can't wait to see.Yeah, I agree, but hey, it's something from the 60s, they could use some new 60s shows DESPERATELY. I believe TheLink said they wanted to renew Bewitched, but the syndicator wanted too much money and I guess it wasn't that big of a ratings hit to may a whole lot for.

[Pavan]

I say it is Jeannie

Stop it! You said Get Smart and Petticoat Junction already. One post is enough.

[Scoobiedoo30]

what kind of 60's show's you think they should have my friend

[Pavan]

Bewitched
Beverly Hillbillies
Courtship of Eddie's Father
Bill Cosby Show
Petticoat Junction
Doris Day Show
Get Smart
My Three Sons
Hogan's Heroes
I Dream of Jeannie
That Girl
Family Affair
Here's Lucy

All shows that started in the 60s and ended in the early 70s off the top of my head. No more posts from me on this topic now. And again, you're not hearing any of this from me. So don't post this list or any of this anywhere.

[nickandmore]

I would really like to have "Bewitched" and "Jeannie" back. "Get Smart" would be nice too. Thinking in TV Land terms, "Beverly Hillbillies" would most likely get the most ratings. Can't wait to find out!

[catsrule]

Jeannie and Bewitched are my two favorite sitcoms, so I hope they come back. I'd also love to see Family Affair, it's been a long time since I've seen it.

[clj2]

Scratch Bewitched. If you read a post by TheLink about it, it sounds like there's not much chance for it..


RE: Bewitched
Date 07.21.07 5:23 PM
From: TVLTheLink

The board for the show and requests for it have shown an increase in the past couple of months. Unfortunately, the raw number of posts and requests hasn't risen to "significant" numbers. Posts are usually around 70 per weeks and requests slightly less than 100. This starts discussions of the show in programming department meetings, but, doesn't get it over the hurdle of past ratings being in decline when the show's contract ended.

* Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton -Reality Star ("Survivor")
* Josh Haynes -UFC Fighter
* Francesco Quinn -Actor ("Platoon," "24")

Why does this matter to TV Land? Well, TV Land might air the premiere the same night or a day or two later. More coming. But keep this quiet for now, until it is announced.

God, I hate Johnny Fairplay. Him and Elisabeth Hasslebeck were thee most annoying Survivor team mates in the entire series.

[Rezny@gmail.com]

TVLand should be called "commercial land",because they air more-a lot more -commercials than they used to,and a lot less show than in the past.Also it should be called "ultra,ultra,ultra modern land",what with the addition of "Extreme Makeover:Home Edition" and I presume,more 1990's-2000's shows.A classic?Maybe in the future.But now?I think not.I always thought TVLand was a network for classic TV from the 1950's,1960's,1970's and 1980's.I guess I was wrong.I have heard also,that TVLand will soon add another 1960's show to their roster.Hopefully,TVLand will become LESS "ultra,ultra,ultra modern",and back to the way they USED to be.Only time will tell.

[clj2]

I'd LOVE to see Get Smart again, I think it's a very logical choice. But it let them down when they acquired it back in 2001, so who knows. Gomer Pyle could be a good candidate as well.

5:30AM Star Trek cont.

[TVJunkie101]

I'd hope it'd be Petticoat Junction ... I swear I'd watch TV Land again to see it.

I doubt it is though.

I don't why you don't just say it Pav, TheLink said he'll say something by mid-week anyway ...

[Scoobiedoo30]

when was the last time Petticoat Junction on TV Land

[MrBand]

I believe the last time Petticoat Junction aired on TV Land was during the
5th Anniversary Weekend in 2001.

[clj2]

it's probably the Hillbillies. According to TheLink, 'so few' 60s shows have been a big success on the network in the past, that there arent many they would consider airing again. When the Hillbillies left they were still airing a lot at good times, unlike many of the others.

I really hope not though - it's been on continuously for so long and is still on WGN. I'd rather something fresher that hasn't been on for a couple of years, but oh well....at least its not on DVD

[TVJunkie101]

In all honesty, my first thought was The Beverly Hillbillies.

I also thought of Gilligan's Island.

[TVJunkie101]

And I'm all for "new" shows on TV Land, but gosh, AIR THE SHOWS YOU HAVE! LOL

[clj2]

RE: Designing Women, acquisitions and schedule que
Date 07.24.07 12:24 PM
From: TVLTheLink

I won't be able to say anything about the acquired show other to say that it has been an oft-requested older show. The contract is about 90% complete and I can't say anything until it is fully-executed. There also are plans in the works for a major anniversary celebration for an older show later this fall. I'm hoping that I'll have details in the next week or two.
For "Leave It to Beaver" fans, I have some great news. The 50th anniversary celebration will include airing of the show's seldom seen (I believe it was last aired in 1967) pilot, "It's A Small World" and there will be a DVD (Seasons 1 and 2) sweepstakes. I'll have further details in the next couple of weeks.


Often requested. I know Bewitched and Mister Ed are always the most requested shows on the boards, usually..

And the anniversary show - wonder what that could be? Wonder if it'll be a 35th annievrsary, 40th anniversary, 45th, or what. Is that Laugh In maybe? I know it was supposed to come sometime in the fall but last I heard it would be early next year until it came.

[JulieSomoski]

It's probably just something for TV Land to air that could get them advertising on other networks. besides that, I wouldn't see any other reason for them to air it other than to annoy every single one of their viewers.

And, I doubt it would be Bewitched or I Dream of Jeannie, because both are almost all released on DVD, plus TV Land seems little interested in picking them up for some reason.

[Lolly]

I Like The Older TV , i mean i,m Young & all But I was Reading On The Quaalude Board http://quaalude.proboards105.com About How They Had Get Smart & Gilligan's Island On in Like The 70's Thats When This Guy Quaalude was all Cool & Stuff , Oh and Far Out Space Nut and Puff n Stuff Too.:wave: Lolly

[clj2]

Still nothing on the 'mystery show.' Wonder how much longer it will be..

[Pavan]

It's probably just something for TV Land to air that could get them advertising on other networks. besides that, I wouldn't see any other reason for them to air it other than to annoy every single one of their viewers.

No, TV Land and CMT are both Viacom networks. They can share shows if they want to. Usually TV Land would only air something from a sister net if it is related to classic TV.

[JulieSomoski]

No, TV Land and CMT are both Viacom networks. They can share shows if they want to. Usually TV Land would only air something from a sister net if it is related to classic TV.

I completely forgot about that. I just wish TV Land would focus more on one era of telelvision, instead of television from 1950's to encore telecasts. Even if they just stuck to airing classics from 50's-80's, I'd be fine with that. But now they're getting shows like EM:HE and Scrubs, which are still currently airing new episodes.

[clj2]

I completely agree Roseanne - they have pretty much lost it. There is zero coherence in the programming...um what does David Steinberg, Back to the Grind, The Addams Family, Scrubs, EM: HE, Just Shoot Me, Designing Women, I Love Lucy, Elvis Presley, The Negotiator, Top Hat, Pleasantville, Andy Griffith, The Munsters, this CMT thing, and even I Pity the Fool have in common? I swear they've lost it. I don't care who they're trying to target, what their 'research' and whatnot says, but I just don't see this strange hodgepodge of programming going over well with the average TV Land viewer. If it's successful, by all means, I'll be right here to admit I'm wrong, but I just don't see it happening. Maybe they're just looking for an excuse to air modern programming, who knows. What's next? Law and Order? Days of Our Lives? Family Feud? A Day in the life of Larry Jones???

I wouldn't be surprised if they started getting current shows that don't appeal baby boomers, just because the network thinks the show is "cool". I swear, sometimes I think this network is run by a bunch of 5-year olds. Their ratings have been slipping this year, and all their doing is screwing it up even more.

[Scoobiedoo30]

like what show's

[storrs19]

I'm so glad I never watch this horrible channel anymore. I remember saying in a thread 6 months ago that "once they start airing extra commercials they will never stop". So far looks like I am correct in that I see people still complaining about odd starting times for shows. What a joke of a channel that once was great. Thatnk goodness for my ever growing dvd collection.

[clj2]

I wouldn't be surprised if they started getting current shows that don't appeal baby boomers, just because the network thinks the show is "cool". I swear, sometimes I think this network is run by a bunch of 5-year olds. Their ratings have been slipping this year, and all their doing is screwing it up even more.

Yes, the viewers are leaving in droves it looks like. Is it so hard to get some new shows that haven't been airing lately (Mary Tyler Moore, Get Smart, Gomer Pyle, Bob Newhart, Alice, Honeymooners, Mister Ed, heck, even bring back Dick Van Dyke, Mister Ed or Bewitched/IDOJ)???????? Or is their idea of 'fresh' shows the likes of What's Happening Now and bringing back The Munsters which aired to death for 6 or 7 years? Then these thoughtless originals (David Steinberg, Back to the Grind, Chasing Farrah, I Pity the Fool)....the stale, out in the left field move to air movies on Friday nights?? Then last, bringing the played out Cosby Show that is only airing on countless locals and three other networks to TV Land? Is that their idea of a new show? Let's not forget Extreme Makeover, Scrubs, Just Shoot Me, and Designing Women coming. What is wrong with them? Then they keep re-arranging the same stale, overplayed shows around on the schedule thinking that will help. The boards at TVLand.com are flooded with negative feedback, but do they listen? No! They just cover the costs of their mistakes by airing more commercials at night it seems.

They need to focus on 60s/70s shows with a sprinkling of 50s and 80s. Let N@N, TBS, Lifetime, etc focus on the late 80s-now and ION is doing great with the 80s shows, once they expand they should do 70s and 80s shows with a sprinkling of 60s and early 90s. These networks should get a concept, focus on perfecting it, and stick with it and stop going all over the place.

Sorry for the long rant and repeating myself....just so frusturating!! :rolleyes:

[JulieSomoski]

See, I can take all the originals. I mean, they air originally in one slot: Wednesday at 10:00. It's only one slot. And, I understand that the network needs to have original programming to keep it's advertisers happy. But, what I hate is that they air the originals over and over. Lately, it hasn't been that bad, but I remember it being really bad when they had I Pity the Fool. After they aired the new episode, it would be aired again like 5 times a day, every single day of the week.

[clj2]

I don't mind the originals as long as they are something informative that has to do with TV in a documentary-type format; like Inside TV Land, TV Land Confidential, Myths and Legends, etc. But the things like Back to the Grind, I Pity the Fool, David Steinberg, Chasing Farrah, etc I have a problem with.

[JulieSomoski]

Chasing Farrah was just a joke to me. I feel bad Farrah Faucett for ever being associated with it.

So far looks like I am correct in that I see people still complaining about odd starting times for shows. What a joke of a channel that once was great. Thatnk goodness for my ever growing dvd collection.Right on,brother!They are airing it seems like ten times MORE commercials,and LESS and LESS actual series,with scenes deleted-sometimes memorable,funny scenes.TVLand is indeed a joke -an endless joke,with no punch line,that is NOT very funny.And I agree with you about DVD's-thank goodness for them.Having DVD's is REAL TV Satisfaction(Yes,I know some DVD's are edited,but mine,luckily,are not.).

Why do you keep quoting that schedule and then not saying anything in response to it?

[Scoobiedoo30]

I was wondering the same thing

[Rezny@gmail.com]

I don't mind the originals as long as they are something informative that has to do with TV in a documentary-type format; like Inside TV Land, TV Land Confidential, Myths and Legends, etc. But the things like Back to the Grind, I Pity the Fool, David Steinberg, Chasing Farrah, etc I have a problem with.I know what you mean.The latter shows you mentioned(Chasing Farrah,Back to the Grind,I Pity the Fool,David Steinberg,) have NOTHING-I repeat-NOTHING to do with TV. I plitched an idea to TVLand for what I thought would be an interesting Inside TVLand,about the history of TVLogos(you know,the Universal TV logos,the Screen Gems/Columbia Pictures TV logos-the one with the music,circles and lines used in the early 1960'sbefore the curves logo of the mid 1960's),the two (yes,there WERE two)Filmways logos,the 20th Century Fox logos,and the Warner Bros.TVlogos,but nothing came of it.At least THIS idea I had had something to do with TV.

TheLink has said that "What's Happening!!/ .. Now!!" expire near the beginning of October and will not be renewed.

Like we didn't see that coming though, LOL.

Honestly, I don't mind much. There's not many episodes to get through, and I've been watching the same episodes now over and over, so it doesn't bother me much. But, with that happening, I'm gonna guess TV Land is gonna give us a big overhaul for the October schedule, just as a hunch.

[Rezny@gmail.com]

President Larry Jones has turned this network into TOTAL CRAP!

Just when you think TV Land gets rid of the overplayed Westerns for the last 5 YEARS, they keep on replaying the same cut up commercial-ridden, edited movies 3x a week. I mean WTF? Are they having so much trouble getting licensing rights for classic shows that we are forced to watch movies that nobody cares about? Damn! If you want movies, get cable or dish, a premium channel or two, buy or rent the DVD's of the movies you want, and see them in their proper commercial free unedited glory.

What is the justification for these movies that people have seen 158 times? TV Land is supposed to be a home for classic TV shows, NOT movies! Such a move confuses the viewer at best. At worst, it alienates him/her to being forced to watch programing in the movies that certainly can NOT be bringing in good ratings. Or, does TV Land's decision to run such movies do nothing more than explain the new found philosophy of its programing budget, "cheap."

TV Land can't even properly program their few remaining classic shows into consistent time-slots! I echo what everyone has said above. TV Land has now become another "Super Station", or to put it bluntly, "Stupid Station!"

JackYou got that right.Most of the shows TVLand airs have been overplayed on TVLand .Remember when last year "The Munsters"and "The Addams Family"returned to TVLand,(after a brief hiatus)and TVLand proclaimed "The people have spoken?"Then this August,they banished them and "Green Acres"from their comfy 5 days a week slot to a once a week slot on Weekends?And why do we (and DO we)need "Extreme Makeover:Home Edition""Just Shoot Me" and "Scrubs"?Suppose THEY should do badly in the ratings?And as for the movies,there are a LOT of movies from the 1950's-1970's(no 1980's and beyond,because anymore that's ALL TVLand carries anymore in the way of moviesThey definitely need some fresh,clean,unpolluted air at TVLand.

Thanks for the scoop

[Rezny@gmail.com]

I have a suggestion for TVLand powers that be,who have the FINAL SAY as to what airs and when(and yes,I DO realize this).You air a lot of series.And my suggestion is to spread them out a little.Because airing shows back to back(yes,I know OTHER stations do it,too-Hallmark,for example)can and does get a bit boring.And there are a LOT of shows(preferably from the 1960's)that TVLand COULD air.And you could(if you wanted to)cut down on the number of original programming(some of them;TVLand Confidential,Inside TVLand)are pretty interesting.But the OTHERS(Chasing Farrah,Back to the Grind,I Pity the Fool) are downright boring.

[MikeL]

why isnt the shows starting on time anymore like they used to jeffersons begins at 1:45 and crap that sucks hard record a show that why

It has been said before that airing the shows in double takes help ratings increase from one episode to the next. If people are watching the first episode, they're gonna watch the second episode, and other people are too. At least that is what TV Land is thinking, and I"m sure it works, since most of their shows are double takes.

TV Land has hired someone new as VP of Programming:

Former BBC America vice president of scheduling Scott Gregory has joined the TV Land team.
Gregory was named VP of programming for TV Land, where he will be responsible for scheduling strategies and promotional strategies in partnership with the network’s ad-sales and marketing teams.
“Scott’s proven track record and impressive credentials will be integral in furthering the TV Land brand,” said Jaclyn Rann Cohen, senior VP of programming at TV Land, in a prepared statement. “His considerable experience will be instrumental in introducing new shows to superserve our baby-boomer audience.”

It still says he acquiring to the baby-boomer audience, so I doubt there will be many new changes.

I just want a steady schedule. Period.

[clj2]

Does anyone know how the ratings for Extreme Makeover were? I don't hear any press releases about how successful it was...:rolleyes:

[Pavan]

The show is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Extreme Makeover is a different show and totally focuses on another thing. Home Edition did decent on TV Land, I believe. Not sure of the exact ratings yet but word is it held all of TAGS's numbers.

Thanks for the information..

Good to hear. I was getting sick of seeing so much Elvis in August. I Love Lucy is definitely a better way to spend my time-LOL

[ethelmaepotter]

Tv Land is in the crapper...period.

[Pavan]

TV Land scored big with the special Myths and Legends: Elvis and the documentary Elvis by the Presleys on Aug. 16, the day of Elvis Presley's death. The network scored double-digit gains in demo rating and delivery for their premieres. And Myths scored a triple-digit increase among all TV viewers.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Wow that is great news

[JulieSomoski]

I watched that, actually, It was pretty interesting, especially the thing about his death and the wax body. Very good to hear!
