Are they not doing stories on sitcoms anymore? Everytime I by pass one lately, they are doing a story on some actor or actress I am not interested in. The stories on sitcoms is what brought the show out. I remember over 10 years ago, they did a good well told 2 hour story on Three's Company which I still have on video. C'mom, E! dig up some more classic sitcoms stories to tell!

I think it's a thing of the past and not something E! does anymore. All cable networks are changing and this is just one example. More examples are

AMC doesn't show many black and white movies
ESPN CLASSIC doesnt show classic sports anymore
History Channel shows more Programs that are new
GSN network doesn't show old classic Game shows


So I guess it's nothing we can do

I know what you mean. I have been looking at E! for the same reason. All I see is Hulk Hogan and family, Angelina Jolie and others that I never heard of before. If you have the Biography channel their Bio's sometimes have sitcoms. Last week I watched one on the Munsters and The Facts of Life. They also had one on Kim Fields and the guy who played Herman Munster (can't remember his name)

See that's what I mean, this board needs to update users on prgrams like that on the Biography channel since it' sitcom related. So once again I missed a great Biography because I didn't know about it.

The True Hollywood Stories have gone downhill in the past few years. I agree with TVandSportsGuy the board needs to update on other channels that air a lot of retrospects on past tv shows. The Travel Channel aired a show a few years about the filming areas of different shows.

This board's blog should have any program info that has to do with old sitcoms airing on cable channels.

Just look at these crappy THS that are on Comcast on Demand

THS of Clay Aiken
THS of Hip Hop Wives
THS of Janice Dickinson
THS of Joe Francis
THS of Lindsay Lohan
THS of Ty Pennington
THS of Rosie ODonell


Even though Rosie and Ty are not sitcoms I would watch them

I agree, if you do see them on, they're reruns.

I do have the Biography channel, and I do chime in on something that catches my eye. They are ok, but not consistant.

Fred Gwynne is the guy who played Herman Munster.

No Problem. I wish they would do Family Matters and The Jeffersons.

I can't stand the Hip Hop or the Rock wives episodes. I thought the THS of the Kardashians was stupid.

I noticed that sometimes when they do air a THS of a sitcom and/or sitcom stars, they air those in the wee hours of the mornings sometimes.

Seems like anything on cable these days that's worth watching always comes on in the wee hours of the morning. All the silly sh*t is on at regular time-lol

Is that because Style is connected to E!
