- George Lopez
Premieres Monday, September 10, 2007 on Nick at Nite!
Sun-Thurs 10-11pm and Fri-Sat 11pm-12am!
George Lopez is just coming off a successful six season run on ABC and is a hilarious family sitcom that will fit right into Nick at Nite's family of comedies.
George Lopez is a guy who has made lemonade from lemons at every turn. Since he got promoted from assembly line worker to plant manager at an L.A. airplane parts factory, George has handled a complicated and tumultuous job – including mergers, vandals and even a Presidential visit -- with his sense of humor intact. Though his affable and loyal friend and leader, Ernie, and former compadres on the floor consider him a buddy, they continue to rib him and have their fun with his new found position of power.
Dealing with his tough and acerbic but loving mother, Benny, while sifting through her vast assortment of lies about his childhood, and maintaining a civil relationship presents a constant challenge, both at work and at home.
Fortunately George's devoted wife, Angie, possesses the patience of a saint and copes surprisingly well with Benny's questionable behavior and insensitive wisecracks, and with George's freewheeling approach to parenthood. Her recent success as a cosmetics salesperson and her drive to pursue a new, more stimulating career tries George's patience, but in the end makes him love and rely upon her that much more.
George and Angie's twelve-year-old son, Max, is dyslexic and a sarcastic ball of energy, while their 15-year-old daughter, Carmen, struggles against her parents to assert her own independence while dealing with self esteem problems and the tribulations of being a teenage high school girl.
George is further tested daily by the arrival of his newly divorced father-in-law, Vic.

"Home Improvement" and "George Lopez" Join the Nick at Nite Fall Line-Up


Home Improvement Premieres Monday, September 3 With A Week-Long Marathon Kicking Off On Premiere Night From 9 PM - 5 AM (ET/PT),

Followed By George Lopez Premiering Monday, September 10 At 10 PM (ET/PT)


NEW YORK, Aug. 21 -- This September, Nick at Nite brings two of America's favorite family comedies to living rooms across the country when award-winning series, Home Improvement and George Lopez join the networks' Fall line-up. Home Improvement, starring America's #1 family movie star Tim Allen, premieres with a seven-day marathon on Monday, September 3 running through Sunday, September 9 from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. (ET/PT). Tim Allen will host the week-long marathon for one-hour every evening from 9-10 p.m. offering viewers a look at his favorite episodes with anecdotes from behind-the-scenes of the celebrated series. George Lopez, starring famed comedian George Lopez, promptly follows the week after, premiering Monday, September 10, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). Nick at Nite will become home to the complete eight season (203 episodes) library of Home Improvement and the complete six season (120 episodes) library of George Lopez.

Home Improvement is considered one of America's funniest television shows garnering many distinguished awards throughout its eight-year run. Based on the stand-up comedy of Tim Allen, Home Improvement made its debut in 1991 and was one of the highest-rated sitcoms for almost the entire decade. The series centers on the antics of the Taylor family, which, along with Tim, included his psychologist wife Jill (Patricia Richardson) and their three mischievous sons: the popular and athletic Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan), comedian and intellectual Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and the socially awkward youngest son, Mark (Taran Noah Smith). The series focuses on Tim's job as a television personality on his own home improvement show, called Tool Time, with Tim as the host of this show-within-a-show. Tim was joined by his friend and mild-mannered assistant Al Borland (Richard Karn), and a "Tool Time Girl" -- first Lisa (Pamela Anderson) and later Heidi (Debbie Dunning) -- who assisted the pair on the show. Although an excellent salesman and TV personality, Tim was spectacularly accident-prone as a handyman, often causing hilarious disasters on and off the set to the consternation of his co-workers and family. Many of Tim's accidents were caused by his devices designed in application of his mantra, "More power!" Throughout the years, many "special guests" made "cameo" appearances on Tool Time including race car drivers Michael and Mario Andretti, actress and model Jenny McCarthy, country artist Alan Jackson, late night television host, Jay Leno and former President Jimmy Carter. Legendary carpenter and TV personality, Bob Vila has also appeared on several episodes of Tool Time, with Tim seeing him as a rival home improvement host. Created by Matt Williams, David McFadzean and Carmen Finestra, "Home Improvement" was produced by Wind Dancer Production Group in association with ABC Studios (formerly Touchstone Television) and is distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television.

The award-winning Warner Bros. Television series George Lopez has become one of America's most-loved family comedies and is the second-longest-running sitcom in television history to star Hispanic actors, after I Love Lucy. The series originally debuted on ABC in 2002 and stars popular stand-up comic George Lopez as a plant manager at a Los Angeles airplane parts factory. George handles his complicated and tumultuous job with his sense of humor intact, though at times his affable and loyal 'compadres' on the floor continue to have their fun with him and his new found position of power. At home, George deals with his tough and acerbic but loving mother, Benny (Belita Moreno), and her vast assortment of lies about his childhood. Fortunately George's devoted wife, Angie (Constance Marie), possesses the patience of a saint and copes surprisingly well with Benny's questionable behavior and insensitive wisecracks, and with George's freewheeling approach to parenthood. George and Angie's dyslexic 12-year-old son, Max (Luis Armand Garcia), is a sarcastic ball of energy, while their 15-year-old daughter, Carmen (Masiela Lusha), struggles against her parents to assert her own independence while dealing with self-esteem problems and the tribulations of being a teenage high school girl. George is further tested daily by the arrival of his newly divorced father-in-law, Vic (Emiliano Diez). The executive producers of The Drew Carey Show -- Bruce Helford, Academy Award(R) winner Deborah Oppenheimer and Robert Borden -- team up with superstar actress/producer Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality, 28 Days, Speed) for this comedy loosely based on Lopez's own experiences as a Mexican-American native of Los Angeles. George Lopez is produced by Fortis Films, Mohawk Productions, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television. Lopez, David A. Caplan, Paul A. Kaplan and Mark Torgove also serve as executive producers.

Open sesame!

[Seth]

Wow, Roseanne only once a night and not at all Fri/Sat?! Full House not airing until 4 AM on weekdays and not at all Sat/Sun? A full six shows on the normal schedule plus another 3 + Original Series in the 5 AM Rotation of Doom? Holy schedule diversity, Batman.

I give George Lopez a month before it's down to once per night and Roseanne's back in full force. I just don't see it completely clicking with N@N's audience. Home Improvment on the other hand I expect to do VERY well.

[tbswatcher]

Well at least Home Improvement is on at a good time but still tons of Fresh Prince but, where's AFV I like that show.

[TVFactFan]

I think it's a little too early for double airings of Home Improvement and George Lopez. Give the shows a chance to gain an audience first, and I'm not pleased to see the cosby show coming on in the middle of the night but I am glad to see Roseanne off the primetime schedule

don't expect Roseanne to be late night for long if George Lopez Fail Roseanne Will Take It Place

[JulieSomoski]

Are you fricken kidding me? What the hell kind of a crap schedule is this? I knew it wasn't gonna be great, but this is complete crap. We're getting 5 airings of Home Improvement every night, 4 of George Lopez, 4 of Fresh Prince, and then one of each Roseanne, Cosby, and Full House. Then, we get 4 shows sharing one timeslot? Murphy Brown is almost getting played as much as Roseanne and Cosby, which used to be NAN's 2 most popular shows at one point. If I knew this is the treatment they were gonna get, they might as well just ended the contracts right then and there. So, I'm guessing both contracts for R and FH are renewed?

Nextly, Full House is getting played even more than Roseanne and Cosby are, when I thought Full House was now struggling for the network. They tried airing Full House early in the morning before, and it didn't work, so why try it again? And, we get 6 airings of HI every Friday AND Saturday? What the hell is that?

By the middle of October, I'd say a whole different schedule will be in effect. George Lopez will take place of Roseanne, Roseanne will take place of George Lopez, and Cosby will probably be off altogether. There is one nice thing about this schedule, though. We actually get less Fresh Prince.

And, I'm sorry if it seems like all Im doing is complaining. I'm a big supporter of this network, and I enjoy watching all their shows, no matter how much they air them, but this is just crap. All you can do is complain after looking at this.

[Adamantium]

I'm sick of turning past N@N and ONLY seeing Fresh Prince, Roseanne and/or Cosby. So this new schedule is a welcomed change. I'm not a fan of "George Lopez" but at least it's something different. I don't know how long this lineup will last before shows start replacing other shows. But, like I say, at least it's different.

[clj2]

So - I guess it's almost safe to say Roseanne and FH won't be renewed at the end of September? Why would they even spend the money if they're airing so little and apparently don't get very good ratings?

[JulieSomoski]

That question is still unaswered. I would still expect Roseanen to be renewed and Full House to not be renewed. That way, if George fails, they still have Roseanne to fall back on.

[Pavan]

I like it. It is a big improvement of shows. Home Improvement and George Lopez are decent shows. All that needs to air more is Cosby Show, but that will air on TV Land anyway. Roseanne and FP being cut a bit is good news.

FH and Roseanne expire at the end of the month. Renewal news likely won't be known until the October thread, but most likely BOTH will be renewed.

I agree, both shows are a nice change, but why do they have to air so much of them already? They haven't even aired on the network yet and already are just as bad as Fresh Prince. It is good FP is being cut a bit, but Roseanne is not being cut a bit. It's being cut a lot.

[Pavan]

Nick at Nite is big on both new shows. They think they will do very well. I have a good feeling about both of them, too, especially HI. They both are in the same league as Fresh Prince, Cosby Show, Roseanne because of the family aspect. Growing Pains was the only one that didn't work, but I knew that wouldn't because it was too old for the network. If that had launched, say 2-3 years earlier, it would have worked.

As for Roseanne, it is in its last month of its current contract. Low plays could be a culprit. If you see it on more in October (if renewed), then that is the reason.

I didn't even think of low airplays for Roseanne. Thanks for that. I'm hoping that's the big reason. Even if it was, you'd think they'd air it a bit more than they are. It still has done well for them lately, and it still was the second highest rated show for the network.

I'm almost certain HI will do well, considering it has on other networks and on DVD, but I have myd doubts about George Lopez. Since it's on at 10pm, I won't watch much, since it's on the same time as Wonder Years on ION.

[tbswatcher]

Where's AFV.

[JulieSomoski]

Where's AFV.

It's obviously not on the schedule. Probably taken off due to low ratings. The show really doesn't fit with the network, though

[Heather987]

I can see N@N replacing any show that fails in the ratings after a week with Fresh Prince, after all it is the show they love to over play. I remember a few years ago TCS was overplayed but not as badly as FP.
I welcome any change that eliminates the marathons of FP or the rotating nightly marathons of TCS, Roseanne, and FP.

This channel could do very well if they stuck to a schedule for a few months at least instead of moving shows around after a week or 2. Some shows could gain a following if they only left the line-up alone long enough for new viewers to see that there are actually other shows other then the FP marathons that have dominated almost weekly this summer and the rotating marathons that dominated this spring.
It is going to take time to get a lot of viewers back to this channel that quit watching due to the overplaying of Roseanne and FP. It also will take some kind of lineup that has diversity among shows not just FP weekly to gain new audience members for the new shows.

I just hope they treat the new shows with more respect then they did most of the shows they added in the past year or two. But knowing the reputation N@N has gained it wont be long before the FP marathons start back up and George is pushed to the wee hours of the night along with DW, Murphey, MAY, etc...I mean how long did we get A Different World and News Radio for?

Not sure how many viewers they have gained or lost due to the marathons but from the sound of things, people are really getting tired of the schedule changes and marathons. I know it has been said that FP still pulls in great ratings but after a year of FP dominating the schedule for a week at a time or the greater part of a week can you honestly say that it is the ONLY show that can bring in ratings?

[TVFactFan]

My family is encouraging me to watch Home improvement so I will defintely check it out

[TVFactFan]

Now that's GOOD NEWS!!!!-lol

[TVFactFan]

The TVLInk on the TVland Boards say Fresh Prince probably does so well because it's a Great "FALLBACK" show


That about sums it up-lol

[EmoJoe]

That about sums it up-lol
or maybe it's just because it's a funny, likable show, as much as people may hate to admit it here. a lot of kids in my school like it, which is rare for a show that's over 10 years old.

Well make sure you ask those kids WHY they like it tomorrow-lol

[yankeesfan82]

I think it's lousey that Nick at Nite is burying Roseanne at 3AM only. I just got the fall schedule for CW 20 in Hartford, CT and the weekday hour long block of Roseanne at 9AM is gone starting September 10th. I have yet to find out if they will still show it Saturdays at 1230PM and Sunday Nights at 4:30AM on sister station FOX 61. Both are bad timeslots for me tho. I'm not up that early on Monday mornings. And most Saturdays I don't get out of work til 1PM or later.

[MadonnasManOne]

I'm officially done with Nick@Nite!

I think it sucks that they have only given Roseanne one slot (at 2:00 a.m., Central, when I am in bed), and don't even show it on the weekend. I'm also mad about Full House only being shown in the early morning.

It's a good thing I now have all of the seasons released of both Roseanne and Full House on DVD. Only one more season of each to go.

I don't care a thing about either Home Improvement or George Lopez, and I hate Fresh Prince. So, Nick@Nite can go screw themselves, for all I care!

Sorry to be a downer, but, I hate this new schedule, and I won't be tuning in.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I for one am glad that HI and GL are joining the lineup. At least it's something new.

[thebloodyscot]

I like this schedule. Home Improvement will improve the lineup for sure. I probably won't watch George Lopez, as that was always a show that I only watched when I was desperate for something to watch and nothing else was on. But as other people said, at least it's something different, even though it really is too new for the network. Good riddance to almost all the Roseanne airings. That show stinks. Good to see Mad About You back. I do have some complaints about the schedule, though. I liked Funniest Home Videos, too bad they're taking that off. There's still too much Fresh Prince. I like the show, but I've gotten sick of it through Nick at Nite. And Cosby Show and Full House need to be on more. But overall, it's a vast improvement in variety over what we have now.

[GSMiller]

It's really sad to see Roseanne bumped to 3 AM and only on once a nite. What is this George Lopez crap?! Is it like the Mexican version of the Jeff Foxworthy show? I give it two months.

I'm glad to see Full House bumped to early in the morning and won't miss AFV. The AFV shows aired on N@N were twenty minutes of Bob Saget TRYING to be funny and five minutes of actual clips.

Ah well....I guess I'm off to Wal-Mart to buy all the seasons of Roseanne on DVD!

[MadonnasManOne]

You are so wrong about Roseanne. That show does not stink. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't. Seriously. You like AFV, but, think Roseanne stinks? Whatever.

I do agree that there is too much Fresh Prince. One episode of that show is too much, in my opinion. Full House does need to be on more, but, that's not going to happen.

It seems that, ever since N@N put Fresh Prince on the schedule, that channel has gone downhill. Now, it's the worst I've ever seen it.

[MadonnasManOne]

It's really sad to see Roseanne bumped to 3 AM and only on once a nite.

Ah well....I guess I'm off to Wal-Mart to buy all the seasons of Roseanne on DVD!


I agree, 100%. They really screwed up the schedule airing Roseanne only once a nite, only 4 nights a week, and when everyone is in bed.

By the way, don't go to Wal-Mart. If you have a Best Buy near you, you can buy all the seasons of Roseanne (Season 1-8), for $14.99 each, this week! That's a HECK of a deal! I was only missing Season 3 and 6, and I picked them up for $14.99 each, tonight! Plus, I got the points for the purchases on my Reward Zone card.

They also have several other television series, including Three's Company, for $14.99 each, this week. If I had the money, I would have bought all of the seasons of Three's Company, as I don't have any of them on DVD, yet.

[Janice]

Wow, this is great news. I was a casual viewer of Home Improvement during its original run, and I liked it. I'm willing to give George Lopez a try. They really cut Cosby, Roseanne and even Fresh Prince down to size, and it's about time. Three shows that I used to love and now I can't stand because Nick ran them into the ground.

[TVFactFan]

The most attractive things about the REVAMPED schedule is Less Full House and Roseanne

[thetornado]

I love Home Improvement can't wait!

[MadonnasManOne]

:rolleyes:

I'm just so glad Full House is finally being cut back. It's just so sappy:rolleyes:

Just seen the entire schedule for CW 20/FOX 61. Roseanne gets bounced from a decent time slot 9AM-10AM on CW 20 to the ungodly hour of 3AM-4AM on FOX 61. With FOX 61 and CW 20 both showing infomercials 5AM-9AM (including Religious programming) you'd think they'd be able to show Roseanne at a decent hour.

Oh and count me in as a viewer of LOPEZ on Nick-At-Nite. CW20 is burying the show at 1:30AM.

[factsoflife]

whatever happened to Growing Pains? did it not do well for the network?

[mraw]

My family is encouraging me to watch Home improvement so I will defintely check it out

Hopefully you will like it. I watched the show very casually on TBS and practically blind-bought the third season on DVD during Barnes & Noble's buy one get one free sale in January, and I've bought every season released thus far. Tim can get on my nerves at times with his attempts to overdo everything, but Jill and Wilson provide that balance that keeps the show in my favor.

[JulieSomoski]

By the way, Roseanne and Full House have both been renewed, I think. TVLtheLink said it himself at the TVland boards. He also said Roseanne has been cut back so much because they have to make room for Lopez, since that's the show they seem most concerened about right now, as of how it will do in ratings. If it doesn't do well off the bat, Roseanne will most likely take over.

that what i thought.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I'm looking forward to seeing George Lopez. I used to watch it all the time but I missed the last 2 seasons. :)

I guess Full House is also a good fall-back show for Home Improvement, where as Roseanne is a good fall-back show for Lopez, because they both can take over their slots instantly. And, I would rather watch FH than AFV.

[Stuck In The '70's]

I think HI will be a hit. It's been airing pretty much nonstop since it left the air. It just doesn't get much publicity.

[JulieSomoski]

You're right. On the other hand, Lopez has only been fairly popular, and was never a top 20 hit like Home Improvement was it's entire run. And, it really hasn't been in syndication or in many repaeats yet, so it's really hard to tell with that show.

[Mr. Cranky]

This shakeup is long overdue. Tim Allen's show is very good and from the few Lopez shows I've seen, Nick is finally getting something right. Enough Roseanne, Prince and Cosby. God save us. Enough.

i agree, 100%! one wish i have is that nick would stop airing multiple episodes of their shows each night i say 1 episode per night of each show is more than enough, sometimes a little bit goes a long way... and plus it would allow room for other shows to air on N@N.

[Pavan]

You're right. On the other hand, Lopez has only been fairly popular, and was never a top 20 hit like Home Improvement was it's entire run. And, it really hasn't been in syndication or in many repaeats yet, so it's really hard to tell with that show.

A top 20 hit doesn't mean anything. Shows like Brady Bunch and What's Happening!! did better in syndication than they did in its original run. I feel good about Lopez. It is a very funny show. Its repeats on ABC did well and usually as good as its first run airings.

i'm just not sure it'll have the same mass appeal that Home Improvement has... it's not as well known, it's never been very popular and has never gotten very good reviews- but who knows it could do well... it does fit in w/the family friendly fare that N@N ususally offers... definetly fits better than Murphy Brown, Mad About You and Designing Women.

[catsrule]

George Lopez is a good show. However if the much more popular Growing Pains didn't do well I don't think GL has much of a chance. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it hits.

[Pavan]

The thing is Growing Pains is too old now for Nick at Nite. George Lopez might be too new, but it certainly is better for them than an older show. Plus this is a syndication debut, a first for Nick at Nite, so that will help bring in a new audience.

It has yet to be proven how well it does in syndication, it could do well or it could bomb. It's a little to recent for Nick@Nite

This is a syndication debut. It premieres in syndication this fall. So how can it prove itself? Nick at Nite has never done that before.

Walking Tall, According to Jim was bought by TBS a few years back. It will start in 2009 I believe.

That'sw hat I've been trying to get at. NAN really bought this show without knowing how well it can do against competition in primetime and latenight, because of it not being in syndication yet. While the shows that have done well for NAN (Roseanne, Cosby, now Home Improvement) were all very popular and top rated their original runs, while other shows like Fresh Prince and FUll House have a great youth appeal. George Lopez was never top rated originally, and really does not carry a youth appeal to the network. It's kind of similar to Who's the Boss?, once on the network in like 2003, but never did very well. I'm not sure how well of an example that is, but that's the best I got. I think at this time, it was too risky for them to buy and then put on for 2 hours each night.

Growing Pains seems older to people than Cosby Show, Full House, etc. Both of those shows have had long lasting runs in syndication. Growing Pains hasn't. I think most people think of FH and Cosby Show as 90s shows...even though Cosby Show was primarily in the 80s. GP is totally 80s. If that had launched in 2003 with Full House, I think it would have done better. Cosby Show came in 2002. GP came in 2007. Big difference. So, in essence, GP came like 4-5 years too late.

Nick at Nite is changing. You see shows like Cosby Show and Full House now even in the late hours rather than primetime, in favor of "newer" shows.

What made GP so 80's?

[Pavan]

GP is totally an 80s show. You can just tell by watching. The only season that you probably wouldn't be able to tell is the last season with Leonardo DiCaprio, and even then the average Nick at Nite viewer will think it is older because of how young he is, lol. You can't really tell how old the show is on Full House and Cosby Show, besides the first season or so.

Nick at Nite is going for the 18-49 demo, mainly 18-34, so their audience has changed dramatically in the last 5 years or less. They had shows from the 60s (Hillbillies, Gilligan), 70s (Three's Company, Brady Bunch) and 80s (Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes) in 2000, now 80s shows are ancient to them. TV Land is going for 25-54 and the boomer audience.

[Br26]

I wish there was a network that would cater to N@N's demographic back in 2000. I like Facts of Life, Different Strokes, and many eighties sitcoms..But now Nick at Nite is ditching those for newer shows..and TV Land isnt airing any of those anytime soon..:/

Except that GP also aired in the 1990's, in fact it's finale was in 1992 and after that it aired on ABC Family for years as well as on Disney Channell for years and i know it aired on ION for awhile as well has a very lengthy and successful run in Locals back in the early 1990's.

[Stuck In The '70's]

It's funny how certain shows don't last long on N@N but do somewhat better elsewhere.

exactly, like Designing Women which did extremely well on Lifetime for more than ten years, but when it was moved to N@N was not rated highly...

It is a good show and I like it, but it is no where near the numbers for Full House, Cosby Show, Fresh Prince, etc. on cable or locals. It just doesn't fit the Nick at Nite brand at this time. That is why Designing Women did bad on Nick at Nite. That show always did well on Lifetime, but it didn't do well on locals before that. I guess it has to have a nice flow from a lead-in and has to actually fit the channel.

And as for GP, it didn't air on ION for long (I hope it comes back). ABC Family wasn't long either. Disney Channel was its longest run, measured in years...the others were in months (ABC Family aired it on and off).

And you tell me what you feel is more 80s...Cosby Show or Growing Pains? Shows like Family Ties even feels much more 80s than the Cosby Show. I guess some of the jokes on shows like GP and FT get dated over the years. Rewatchability factor is high for shows like FH (yuck), FP and Cosby Show.

[MadonnasManOne]

That's not very nice. Just because you don't like Full House, doesn't mean you should say "yuck", and offend those who like the show.

It's funny how certain shows don't last long on N@N but do somewhat better elsewhere.

They want shows that can be ran over and over again in a random order and still get high ratings like Nicktoons. Nick only produced 1 season of My Brother and Me but ran it for years.

How can they do that? Their was only about 20 of them.

Do you think WTB? was too old for N@N also? Maybe that's why it flopped so. It came in 2004, and around 2003-2004-early 2005 they were starting to add more recent/90-ish shows (Roseanne, Wings, FPoBA, Murphy Brown). It ran 1984-1992, sort of the Growing Pains time period.

Not that big of a change, cut it is a change for the better. I wonder why they changed it, though. Maybe they actually heard some of our complaints (more or less). At least we do get Roseanne and Cosby EVERY day now, AFV is back (sucks) and both Home Improvement and George Lopez have been downsized a bit. I definitely like this schedule better, even if it was just changed here and there.

I just noticed something else. Fresh Prince is only on one time on Friday nights. How unbelievable is that?

[Pavan]

George Lopez's airings remain the same from the last schedule. It will still air 4 times a night (two really, with encores late at night) every night...it just changed times a bit on Fridays. HI is 4 times a night now Sun-Thurs, rather than 5. Friday airings is down to 5 from the 6 original. And Saturday is down to 4 from the original 6. AFV is back, so the schedule has a bit more variety now, rather than a HI encore.

As for George Lopez, Nick at Nite will start with episode 82, which is the start of Season 5. They will go in order starting with that. Though Season 3 will be mixed in on Saturdays and Sundays, the first half hour will the same rotation as weekdays, and the second half hour will be starting with the third season, I think episode 27.

I forgot who asked, but Nick at Nite will only air the first part of the George Lopez-Freddie cross-over. So they won't air the Freddie episode, which was part two.

[clj2]

I just don't have a good feeling about Lopez. I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to be a hit to me. They sure do seem confident in it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it and Roseanne switch places after the marathon is over (which there is always a possibility of them cutting short)

I don't know why it wouldn't be a hit. George Lopez is a great show. Frankly Roseanne is rerunned to death. I can watch it on about 3 of my locals now besides N@N.

You can say that again. They killed Roseanne and Fresh Prince for me. I'm really looking forward to George Lopez. I could look it up myself, but can someone tell me the premise of his show?

[nickandmore]

IMO, they should have done something like this:

Sun-Thu

8:30PM Full House (on Nickelodeon)
9-10PM Home Improvement
10PM Roseanne
10:30PM George Lopez
11PM Fresh Prince
11:30PM George Lopez

That would have given 'George' two good proven lead-ins. I like what I have seen from 'George' (but really haven't seen to many episodes). I hope it does well.

With this new schedule, I am officially adding N@N back to my viewing schedule everyday!!!!

[Pavan]

They are starting with S5, so I hope you will understand the stories. I suggest you also watch on your local channels, because they will start with the pilot this Fall. I think the first season is just OK, but after that it got VERY funny. Especially seasons 2 and 3. I like 4-6, too. This past season had a lot of special guest stars that made it special, like Barbara Eden, Jerry Springer, Mario Lopez, and Stacy Keibler. Eva Longoria was on during season 5.

And yes, I think it will do well. TV Land Fan, this show has everything riding on a plus than negative. First, it is a family sitcom. Second, it is very new and fresh, never aired in syndication before. So it is part of Nick at Nite history, by airing a new show premiering the same time it is in syndication. They are very high on it, not only about that, but the quality of the show is good. It is funny stuff. This isn't a show that you just know that will bomb...I knew shows like Coach, Wings, Mad About You, Murphy Brown, Designing Women would not work because they don't fit the Nick at Nite brand, Lopez does and plus it is new.
They are not doing a Lopez marathon, by the way. It will just join the line-up.

I wonder why they're starting with the 5th season? You'd think new viewers would like it better watching from the beginning.

[MadonnasManOne]

As much as pavanbadal feels George Lopez will do well, I feel completely the opposite way. I think it will bomb. I don't know anyone who watches the show. I've never had anyone say, "Oh, you've got to watch this show."

Not that it matters to me. With the schedule as it is, now, N@N shows NOTHING that I want to watch during the hours I could watch. I'm glad that they have decided to add Roseanne and Full House to the weekends, but, it's during the time I am asleep. So, I still won't be turning in. The only way I'll ever tune in to N@N, again, is if they move Roseanne and/or Full House back into a primetime slot, or they add a show, such as Who's The Boss?, Three's Company, and/or The Golden Girls, for example. Since those choices don't seem likely, sadly, I will not ever watch N@N. It's too bad, because that channel used to be the only thing I watched in the evening. However, it seems that since they added Fresh Prince to the network, the programming has declined, greatly, and it doesn't seem like it will recover.

Thankfully, ION Television has several shows I enjoy, and I now spend my evenings watching them. After that, I have my season sets of shows such as Roseanne, Full House, The Golden Girls, etc. to keep me happy. Thank God for TV on DVD, or I'd go crazy! It's too bad that they've only released the first season of Who's The Boss? on DVD. I would LOVE for them to release all of them, so, I could quit recording them off the television.

It probably has something to do with it also starting on locals this fall.

Solomon, local channels start it in September as well. Be on the look out on Sept. 10 on your locals. WPSG-57 will air it at 2pm and I THINK also 11:30pm, but for sure 2pm. WPIX is airing it here.

The fact is until George Lopez moved opposite AI it was doing pretty good in the ratings. I watched it every week. The only reason I stopped was because it was hard to watch just one sitcom when all the other shows I watched were dramas so I always had to tape it and watch it later and I just got tired of doing that.

[Adamantium]

I don't know why it wouldn't be a hit. George Lopez is a great show. Frankly Roseanne is rerunned to death. I can watch it on about 3 of my locals now besides N@N.

You know as well as I do that a show being great has no effect on whether it will be a hit or not. There has to be enough people watching in order for it to keep coming back. I admit, I'm no fan of "George Lopez" but I'll give it a second chance. Maybe I'll end up liking it. I used to hate Friends and now I like it. I used to hate That '70s Show and now I like it. Who knows, maybe I'll like George Lopez one day, too.

I personally don't like the fact that a new show is coming to N@N before ever being in syndication. And to think that I thought "NewsRadio" was too new for N@N. They're passing by the 90s and are into the 2000s now. :rolleyes:

I don't really like the way N@N is being run anymore. I liked it much better when they were airing shows from the 50's until the 70's. I don't really think shows that are in local syndication really need to be in national syndication too. N@N passed up awhole lot of great 80's sitcoms and went right into the 90's. On the other hand if they are going to air 2000 sitcoms I am glad it's George Lopez as it's one of the few modern ones I actually like. The only current sitcom I even watch is My Name is Earl. I just hope some great new sitcoms are on the horizon, otherwise we'll be watching the same old sitcoms for years to come. :)

That's definitely a lot of Home Improvement this fall! I'll probably watch more on TBS, case WTB aisr on ION at 9pm

Good news! Nick@Nite now has a new logo, new website and (probably?) new graphics on the network.

Wonder how often they change the Logo. I know it was changed in between 1995 and 2003

[samanddiane4eva]

That logo might take some getting used to. I must miss my childhood because seeing that new logo makes me think I'll see Salute Your Shorts or Pete and Pete and I'm not really sure why. I'd rather see the old logo partially since I'm not fond of change and because it's what I'm used to seeing.

[Adamantium]

That looks like the logo for Nick at Nite if they aired classic Nickelodeon shows during the night such as Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts and Pete & Pete as opposed to Home Improvement, George Lopez, Fresh Prince. Of course, I remember in the good 'ol days, before N@N had any bug in their corner. In fact, I remember the first time I saw it. It was black and fit in alright with "I Love Lucy" but I was still ticked off that it was there. When they changed it to blue it stuck out during "I Love Lucy" since Lucy was in black and white and the bug was blue. Of course, now airing a black and white show is a thing of the past for Nick at Nite, so a color logo doesn't matter.

[noveel]

I think they are trying to insult Classic Nick fans with that logo.

[JulieSomoski]

I really don't like the new logo. It looks way too much like Nickelodeon's. I think they should have gone in a different direction, to show people that NAN is NOT Nickelodeon. This just brings the two networks closer together, which I hate. Although, I do like the "at Nite" part. Very cool writing there.

[Pavan]

The whole plan was for Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite to be more together since Nick at Nite is not associated with TV Land anymore.

When I see that logo i think of tv shows like

Smart guy
silver spoons
boy mets world
that's so raven
sister sister
brady bunch


lol

[clj2]

You know, this is the first major logo change. The logo has always had the same basic design and font, just with a different color and shape. The old logo was the last real 'link' to the old N@N other than the name.

[JulieSomoski]

Exactly, which is why I think its a step in the wrong direction. That logo looks as if it's for Disney and other teen shows, not modern classics like Home Improvement and Fresh Prince.

i always liked the earliest logos the best. They had that 50's thing going on, and it just reminded me of all the great TV shows back in the day. Too bad they couldn't have stuck with something like that throughout the years.

[Heather987]

Just be glad its not a N@N logo of Will Smiths head to promote more FP....

The logo isnt that bad, reminds me of Halloween more then anything. I just miss the whole N@N and Nickolodeon of the 80's early 90's. I grew up with Pinwheel, You Cant Do That and progressed in my teen years to cheesy drama/comedy shows that they had like Fifteen...and N@N was black and white shows or very old colored shows at best.

Guess this logo is another sign the times are changing and us baby boomers of the 80's decade can kiss our wishes to see any classic shows on N@N goodbye.

I know TVLand is trying to gear its shows towards the baby boomers but I know a lot more people that are baby boomers that want to see 50's-80's over todays shows that are syndicated on every channel. N@N needs to leave the modern shows to TBS, ABC Family, Disney, etc and locals...and go back to their old format.:mad: :mad: :mad:

I think George Lopez would have been great for ABC Family . . . it would have fit in with their lineup . . . more modern, family, Friday-night shows.

Why can't N@N just put a Half moon next to Nick@Nite? That would be a lot better

[JulieSomoski]

It would have been better than the 'Splash" they have next to it. It definitely looks to "kiddish". The have to understand that NAN is mostly watched by adults, not kids.

Their old logo was a lot better.

Is this for next week?????? when does the show start from the beginning?

According to their online schedule, they're not. Next Monday and Tuesday they're airing season 2 episodes, and Wednesday and Thursday they're airing season 3. Too bad they can't start with season 1. Have they even aired the Pilot yet?

[EmoJoe]

Nick@Nite has gone out of order with all of their shows ever since they were taken over by Nick. it just keeps getting worse and worse on that channel -_-

I don't understand what you mean. NAN does not air there shows in order anymore . . . that's it. I've never seen Full House air in order, and I don't get what network syndication has anything to do with NAN's originals.

[Pavan]

George Lopez will be going in order, but they are starting with season 5. And the second episode on Saturdays and Sundays will be starting with season 3 and going in order.

Home Improvement is going in random order, starting with season two:
Monday the 10th: 34/35
Tuesday the 11th: 44/45
Wednesday the 12th: 50/52
Thursday the 13th: 53/60
TBD after that right now.

[clj2]

I know....TVL is the same way - if memory serves correctly, one day they showed Lucy Cries Wolf, then The Tour (in CA), then the Tennessee episode (on the way to CA), then The Courtroom (season 2), then back to Ethel's Hometown this past week. It is a joke! Especially series episodes like those. These people in charge need some sort of brain surgery!:mad:

[Adamantium]

By the time "Friends" comes, they'd better have this problem fixed. I say that because "Friends" is one of those shows that has to be viewed in it's proper order. Not that I personally care. I won't be watching it, I have the DVDs. But still...

When I was a kid, I always assumed N@N aired shows out of order. I don't know why, exactly, but I did.

I'm glad I'm not currently taping any shows on N@N, because that would drive me crazy.

[Br26]

they usually air in order..when nick got control from tv land it started to air in random order. and it's irritating; in nick's world nothing changes because their stars never get older. big difference when you get sitcoms that last twice as long as their non-animated sitcoms.

exactly, Nick creates stuff that can be aired with random out of order marathons and without proper season finale's, they only produced a few episodes "My Brother and Me" but ran it for years like it had many episodes

It wasn't always like that; when nick aired "Clarissa Explains It All", "The Secret World Of Alex Mac" and "The Adventures Of Pete and Pete" they used to air in order and had proper finales and premieres; Clarissa especially would have been hard to view out of order because of continuing storylines and the aging of the actors...

[Buffyboy323]

I was thinking maybe they were airing the shows in random order just for the summer....I could be wrong...I hope I'm not though. If it's 1 thing that irritates me about shows in syndication (aside from some of the horrible editing), it's when they're run out of order.

I haven't been, and still won't be watching much Nick @ Nite, but I do like to tune in to Roseanne, Cosby, and Murphy every now and then. I really wanted them to start The Cosby Show from the begininng!

And how can they not have Roseanne going in order??? That's a show that MUST be seen in order.

[FactoryGirl]

Huh? Is N@N smoking some serious weed? When is The George Lopez show considered a 'classic t.v' better yet, 'modern classic'? Excuse me, but this is a slap in the face to shows older than this who hasn't hit N@N like Blossom, Small Wonder, and hell, Saved by the Bell. I would prefer Califorina Dreams over the George Lopez show!

Shows don't always in order during their original runs, sometimes they skip between episodes

A lot of the Nicktoons are aired this way. It was years between 2nd and 3rd seasons of Rugrats.

Sorry, but what are you saying?

[JulieSomoski]

A pretty big schedule change is going in affect beginning tomorrow, according to the NAN online schedule page. I'm guessing Home Improvement and George Lopez are doing pretty well, because they're staying in their 9-11pm slots. Fresh Prince will now be airing every single weeknight THIS WEEK from 11pm-5am. Roseanne and Cosby will air weekends at 3-4am. Full House and AFV air at 4-5am on the weekend, and the rotating 5am slot and Full House still remain every night.

Again, this looks like it's only for September 22-27. Don't why. It's just listed. Also, I'm not sure if Full House was renewed or not still because, on the schedule, it lists Full House for every night up to 9-30. Beginning October 1, Full House is off the schedule.

[Pavan]

It is not a schedule change. It is just a marathon. They made the decision on Friday. Here are the last minute marathons:

Saturday, Sept. 22 - Thursday, Sept. 27
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Marathon
Sept. 22: 12am-5am, Sept. 23-27: 11pm to 5am ET/PT

Sunday, Sept. 30
Home Improvement Marathon
9pm-3:30am ET/PT

[noveel]

Why can't they just stick to a regular schedule for at least a month. (Although I guess this is a regular schedule for Nick@Nite)

Thanks for the correction.

Looks like Home Improvement is doing very well. No show has gotten a marathon of any type just a month after it premiered on the network. It's good to hear. I'm still hoping GL is gone by October . . . possibly Roseanne could take back over the 10pm slot.

On the other hand, NAN is still having to fall back on Fresh Prince. With 2 new shows having just debuted, that isn't a great sign.

They are giving the shows a chance. I mean, they've been airing now every day in good timeslots, plus Home Improvement is already getting a small marathon on Sunday. So, to sum things up, if GL does well, NAN now has 3 shows they want to air in primetime.

And to think, we were complaining when NAN was only airing 4 shows in primetime-LOL

[Heather987]

Are we going back to FP marathons? I thought maybe once HI and GL came on board we wouldnt have to suffer through the FP marathons over and over. Those shows maybe doing well in primetime hours but when nothing else is on TV after primetime its back to FP marathon. Why can't they just let the schedule remain and leave the marathons alone? Why did they have to choose FP if they wanted a marathon, why not GL or another show that has not YET been run into the ground of crammed down our TV tubes for the past several months.?!
FP has had numerous marathons that its almost crazy to even try to watch N@N. It has almost become a game with me to try to catch N@N on a non marathon night. :mad: :mad: :mad:
I had hoped HI and/or GL would stop all the marathons of FP but I guess N@N likes to make a schedule and then change it up from week to week and throw in marathons of shows we can't enough of FP!!!! Enough already!:confused:

[MadonnasManOne]

People are surprised at this Fresh Prince marathon crap? Come on! It's standard N@N.

The thing that surprises me is that anyone is still watching this channel. I would have thought that people would have given up on it a long time ago.

[Br26]

i was expecting to see home improvement and george lopez..and what a surprise, another fresh prince marathon.

seriously. this is tiring.

ive seen all of these episodes 600 times already and at this point i dont even think thats an exaggeration.

im not surprised at all, well, a bit, considering they just brought in two new shows, but seriously. UGH.

So, two more days of the Fresh overnight marathon. HI marathon this Sunday is extended to 5am. Also, a bit of a change on Friday, Sept. 28:
10-11pm George Lopez, 11-12 Home Improvement leading into Fresh 12-5am.

Also, Solomon, George Lopez will finish season 6 by the end of this week, so the first season starts on Monday (Oct. 1)!

Not much of a change. When I first read the title for the blog entry, I was hoping it was GL leaving the lineup, but I guess this is the second best thing. Good to see HI marathon extended . . . making it until 3:30 made no sense at all to me.

[Pavan]

George Lopez will not be leaving anytime soon. It is doing well. It is also doing decent on locals, where it is either airing morning/early afternoons or late nights primarily, so it is doing decently. It didn't really get any major slots (late evening 6-8pm or late prime 11p-12a) on locals.

Do you know exactly how well George Lopez and Home Improvement are doing? Nou doubt HI is doing great, with it already getting a short marathon, but do you know exact information?

[Pavan]

I don't have exact figures, but I don't think George Lopez can get a marathon because it started on locals this fall as well.
