[JulieSomoski]

If you want to watch a network that has a different schedule every night, thsi is the one to go to-LOL. I'm so sick of all these preemptions. And it's all because of the High School Reunion, which I already hate.

What about the TV Land Awards? I thought they were airing in April.

[clj2]

Wow, they sure are confusing.....seems like a big jumble of Sanford and Son, I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Andy Griffith airing at odd times. These stunts and marathons are confusing.

[JulieSomoski]

Wow, they sure are confusing.....seems like a big jumble of Sanford and Son, I Love Lucy, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Andy Griffith airing at odd times. These stunts and marathons are confusing.

You can't get more confusing than this. I don't understand why they have to have all these encores, lead-ins, and preemptions. Why not just air the original in 1 timeslot, quit with the lead-ins, and maybe an encore or 2 on the weekends? It would make for lot-less jumbled schedule.

[friendsfan77]

These people running TVLand obviously do not know how to make a regular schedule anymore.

[clj2]

Well, it does look like TBH is doing well, which is good. I hope Hogan's Heroes does the same.

[Ireneparalegal]

Tvland is ONE BIG APRIL FOOL JOKE...Hell, they are fools all year long. :crazy:

[TVFactFan]

Tvland is ONE BIG APRIL FOOL JOKE...Hell, they are fools all year long. :crazy:


Well the Community Manager for the TVland Boards did say that it would be impossible for TV Land to make it as a CLASSIC TV Network only-lol

[Stuck In The '70's]

Well the Community Manager for the TVland Boards did say that it would be impossible for TV Land to make it as a CLASSIC TV Network only-lol
then they should fold because they're useless. lol

[TVFactFan]

then they should fold because they're useless. lol


He said they would lose money if they were a classic tv network only-lol

[friendsfan77]

I would honestly rather go defunct instead of selling out like they have.

[TVFactFan]

I would honestly rather go defunct instead of selling out like they have.


He said the network started to lose money had no choice but to change to a diverse programming type of network

[Ireneparalegal]

then they should fold because they're useless. lol
Exactly!!!!!



Solomon, sounds like you are defending TVLand...WTF????? C'mon now, they worked great as a classic tv channel before, it wasn't impossible THEN, so what is the difference NOW?

[Stuck In The '70's]

He said the network started to lose money had no choice but to change to a diverse programming type of network
Yea after he suckered everybody to watch that network. The only reason they got put on cable channels was because it was a classic tv network. If people had a choice to what channels they could get maybe he'd change his mind.

[TVFactFan]

Exactly!!!!!



Solomon, sounds like you are defending TVLand...WTF????? C'mon now, they worked great as a classic tv channel before, it wasn't impossible THEN, so what is the difference NOW?


LOL-I'm defending, I was just giving the reasons because a lot of people on here may not know why the network is changing

[Ireneparalegal]

There is NO LOGICAL REASON to change a format that worked great before. It all comes down to MONEY, MONEY, MONEY...yeah, the old mighty dollar. To hell with the viewers. :rolleyes: Are you really believing that pile of sh*t they call "reasons" Solomon?

[TVFactFan]

There is NO LOGICAL REASON to change a format that worked great before. It all comes down to MONEY, MONEY, MONEY...yeah, the old mighty dollar. To hell with the viewers. :rolleyes: Are you really believing that pile of sh*t they call "reasons" Solomon?


NOPE, I was just curious to see what yall would think about the reasons. He said that Extreme Makeover is doing really well for TV LAND which is a shock

[Stuck In The '70's]

They're getting a different type of viewer now. The ones that helped start the network aren't needed anymore. It's like they're saying to hell with you.

[Ireneparalegal]

NOPE, I was just curious to see what yall would think about the reasons. He said that Extreme Makeover is doing really well for TV LAND which is a shock
Then they should make a whole other channel called TVLand 2 and show programming from 1990 to the present. And leave TVland for the classics. I cannot believe that sponsors are not paying good money to air their commercials on their channel. Also, if they are losing money, it was because they started showing that reality sh*t like CHASING FARRAH and other stuff that is not classic. I bet that is when the execs realized it.

I think he said, but i'm not completely sure that because of current era we are in the network was forced to make changes-lol

[Pavan]

Their focus is to Baby Boomers (what they watched in the past (like I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith) and what they watch now on TV (EM: Home Edition, Just Shoot Me)). That is clearly stated now.

I'm kind of surprised JSM appeals to Boomers. Doesn't seem like something they'd enjoy. :confused:

[Pavan]

I guess that age group watched it a lot either in its original run or in syndication...so far it is doing well on TV Land at midnight.

[Scoobiedoo30]

it is good to see The Beverly Hillbillies from 4:30 pm until 5:30 pm on TV Land.

[KJH278]

Well, it does look like TBH is doing well, which is good. I hope Hogan's Heroes does the same.

When will Hogan's Heros start on TV land

[Scoobiedoo30]

I am not sure but I think Hogan's Heros is coming to TV Land in june of 2008

[Pavan]

What about the TV Land Awards? I thought they were airing in April.

They had to move it because of the strike. They usually start promoting it in early January, but since the strike was on then, they decided to move it. The awards show will be Sunday, June 15 this year.

Wow, you're kidding me. I didn't think the strike would affect this, but I guess it did. At least it's still going on.

Will Nick at Nite still be telecasting it this year?

[Scoobiedoo30]

TV Land is going to be 12 Year's old on April 26, 2008 if my memory is correct.

TV Land Shows the World That 40 is Fabulous With Premiere of Newest Original Series, 'The Big 4-0' on April 16 at 10 PM (ET/PT)

Six-Episode Reality Series Documents Real People Celebrating Their 40th Birthdays in Extraordinary Ways



NEW YORK, March 25 -- TV Land redefines what it means to be 40 when it premieres "The Big 4-0" on April 16 at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). This new original series -- which debuts with back-to-back episodes -- takes a look at real people as they prepare for one of life's milestones -- cart-wheeling into this exciting new life-stage. From a former NFL player's desire to prove he can still compete with the best to a successful woman who seems to have it all but journeys to Italy to trace her roots to a wheelchair-bound man who aspires to parachute out of an airplane, viewers go behind-the-scenes as some of the most unexpected 40th birthday festivities are being planned, plotted ... and celebrated!

Produced for TV Land by J.D. Roth and Todd A. Nelson at 3 Ball Productions ("Beauty and the Geek" and "The Biggest Loser") and executive produced by Keith Cox (TV Land), "The Big 4-0" is a six-episode reality series that documents one real 39-year old per episode as he/she marks this monumental occasion in surprising ways. Whether it is a fun vacation getaway with friends to start a new chapter in their lives or an extravagant costume party to possibly find love again, they reflect on what they have accomplished thus far and what they aspire to do.

"'The Big 4-0' provides TV Land's audience with positive stories of real people celebrating this milestone and embracing this new stage of life in unexpected and sometimes amazing ways," states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. "The experience of planning this event is something that is not only entertaining but also relatable and truly speaks to an underserved audience of people in their 40s and 50s."

Online, TVLand.com visitors can watch bonus and extended scenes from each episode, full episodes the day after they air and catch sneak peeks of upcoming episodes. Additionally, fans can view a library of photos -- including pictures from each celebrant's personal collection -- as well as photos taken as they prepared and celebrated their 40th birthday. Finally, fans can interact on the site's message boards to discuss their own big plans for milestone birthdays.

The episode roll-out as follows (all times ET/PT):

Wednesday, April 16, 10 p.m.

A former running back of the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions, Derrick had an exciting career in the NFL.

Growing up as part of the only Italian-American family in rural Utah, Rita and her 12 siblings never really felt like they belonged.

She journeys to Caserta, the city where her father was born, to meet her relatives for the first time and literally walk in her father's footsteps.

Just when she thinks that her 4-0 can't be any more perfect, her amazing day culminates with the biggest surprise of all -- a tropical island getaway. Watch as she learns the biggest gift is having best friends who'll never let her down!

Wednesday, May 14, 10 p.m.

On the surface it appears that beautiful DeeAnn has the perfect life with great friends, a successful career and a loving daughter. But 7 years ago, DeeAnn's fiance died of a sudden heart attack. She's been mourning ever since, but decides it's finally time to move on. For her 40th, DeeAnn and her friends throw a huge 18th century-themed bash featuring period costumes fit for a masquerade ball, a horse-drawn carriage and fine wine. DeeAnn's friends send her to a matchmaker who sets her up with two eligible bachelors. Will this real-life Cinderella find her handsome Prince Charming in time for the ball?

Honestly, I don't see any of them being renewed since Lucy and Cheers are going to Hallmark, Wings has had an awful run on both N@N and TV Land....The Munsters and Addams Family haven't done that well either. Those four Universal dramas all bombed except maybe the A-Team. The only one I could see being renewed, if possible, is I Love Lucy, since they seem to be using it to attract Baby boomers.

I'm pretty sure The Munsters and Addams Family are going for sure. Highway to Heaven, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, A-Team, and Simon and Simon have about a 0% of getting renewed. Cheers will probably go. I Love Lucy probably has the best chance of staying, if Hallmark and TV Land can work out a shared deal. I Love Lucy brings in a large amount of women viewers, and of course baby-boomers.

[Pavan]

The Hallmark deals for Cheers and I Love Lucy are not exclusive...so TV Land can renew or another cable channel has a chance of picking it up also, like how WE picked up The Golden Girls with Hallmark starting in March 2009.

As of now Munsters/Addams Family seem to be leaving as they seem to be leaving at the end of May...but that could change.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I sure would hope That The Munster and The Adam's Family stay on the schedule.

My guess exactly . . . they'll all probably go. I actually think I Love Lucy will stick around, just because it's been a NAN and TV Land staple.WIth all these shows going, let's hope we can get some new classic shows on the lineup.

[TVFactFan]

let's hope Sanford and Son won't be renewed

[clj2]

let's hope Sanford and Son won't be renewedI agree. Although I love Sanford and Son, it's very much time for it to go. It's been played to death and has had very few breaks until recently. It seems to be slipping, only airing mornings and late nights. TheLink used to say the demographics were too old or something...

The only reason I'd think Lucy will be renewed is because they seem to be using it to attract the boomer women. That seems to be the only thing going for that classic at this point.

Mike Fleiss To Return As Executive Producer



NEW YORK, April 2, 2008 -- Following impressive ratings gains and steady growth of its original reality series "High School Reunion," TV Land announced today that it has renewed the series for a second season, with Mike Fleiss returning as executive producer. Premiering in first quarter 2009, the second season will reunite high school alumni after 20 years as they gather for two weeks in an exotic vacation getaway.

"TV Land viewers can't get enough of 'High School Reunion,'" states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. "The show continues to build a new audience for TV Land and create buzz. We can't wait to introduce our viewers to a new reunited class as they reconnect with old friends and forge new relationships to make great television."

"I'm thrilled that 'High School Reunion' connected with viewers in such a big way," said Mike Fleiss, the show's creator and executive producer. "I'm also very excited to be doing the show again with my friends at TV Land."

Not Good News for Classic TV fans-lol

Give me a break! High School Reunion is going to have second season?! Why are earth are people watching this? I've watched the first episode and was done with it. Even during the first five minutes, I already knew what would happen to these people while on their reunion. It's like predicting a scary movie.

I'm pretty sure The Big 4-0 would do good, even though, I find it funny that not only do we have to watch bratty rich teens on MTV, whine about the getting the wrong color Benz, but grown behind people throwing hissy fits about their lavish parties as well.

The WB had a similar show. And that was stupid!!!! I imagine this is just the same show but different channel.

Why? I want someone who watches that crap please explain to us the fascination with it. Strangers meeting up with high school friends, classmates...WTF? is the big deal abt that? I don't want to see what drama they had or issues they took with them into adulthood. BORING!!!!!!

HSR is very boring. The labels these people had were a trip! I seriously felt like Kat "the lesbian" needed a new label "Confused and Clueless". Seriously, some of these people really needed to let go of their high school past. They are in their late 30's and still act like high school kids, especially that drama queen and the preppy popular princess.

Ugh!! I am glad I stayed away from that show. The show that appeared on WB was exactly the same. Some chick wanted to know if she could rekindle her high school romance since she is now divorced. :rolleyes: GROW UP CHICKIE! Another guy was known as the player and wanted to see if he still had the skills. GIVE ME A BREAK DUDE. puke:

I hear ya abt that show. Just from what you posted it sounds like crap. People in their 30's still worried abt their high school problems and issues, no wonder they continue to have problems. High school is OVER!!!! stupid people.

I had to come on over and register just so I could post on this topic (but don't worry I'll be posting elsewhere too when I get the chance). While I love TVLAND for all it's great classic sitcoms, I too get annoyed when they started filling their schedules with reality shows, HOWEVER, HSR is an exact match for TVLAND's genre, it's all about nostalgia and reliving the good old days. TVLAND's core audience right now are in fact people who went to high school in the '80s. Shows like Extreme Make Over, definitely don't belong on TVLAND, but HSR is definitely relevant to TVLAND and it became a surprise favorite of mine, I felt so connected and interested in this cast, I felt their joy, I felt their pain, I loved it all, and it left me wanting to know more about these people. I too remember the original WB series, as I wrote a news paper article about it for my college paper, but at that time they were only doing 10 year reunions, and they were a little shady about it, not everyone had graduated from the same year.

I for one am really happy that this show is coming back (in fact 2009 is too long to wait for me!), because TVLAND was able to do it right, just like the same way when VH1 took over Surreal Life (which was also originally a WB series), they were able to make it so much better. HSR didn't work as well on the WB because the WB's target audience were teenagers.

The sad reality is that TVLAND can only turn a profit by showing sitcoms for so long, some viewers are looking for a little change of scenery, like they did when they started showing movies on TVLAND.
