Nick at Nite Schedule Change Effective 1/7/02

[Pavan]

Starting Monday January 7th, 9 and 9:30pm e/p will be "Kids Say the Darndest Things." It will air Sun-Thurs 9-10pm e/p.
It is probably airing for either 2 reasons: Either it got great ratings for the 2 days it aired in December or it is a filler (holding) The Cosby Show slot until March. And yes it will still air on TNN Weekdays at 10-11am e/p.
So Diff'rent Strokes will probably return in March or so, hopefully.
I'll try to contact Nick at Nite to see the status on this change.

Tell me this isn't happening!!!!
This show got cancelled like last year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why couldn't they put something else on?
How does TVLand's Valetine's Day thingy look?
Any shows not usually seen on there?
What about FOL any hopes on that for next month?

[Sean Snow]

*Falls to Floor* OMG! That is just....ew. I thought there motto was 'All Sitcoms, All the Time'...I just knew DS would get the boot, but I thought that wouldn't happen until March when "The Cosby Show" came...poor "Family Ties"...now it's only on at 1-2 PM.

*May Those N@N Executives Ruin Their Carrers*

BTW, I've been noticing Nick's ratings as a whole have fallen. That's what they get for messing with something that isn't broken. Meanwhile, TV Land's ratings have been shooting up....

According to some articles that measured how many people were watching the network on Cable. I don't remember the place, but there are multiple places that have this article. Nickelodeon/Nick @ Nite finished fifth, falling by 2.?%. Lifetime finished first. Also, I believe Nick was tied with TNT

The ratings that are available right now just show the channel Nickelodeon as a whole, doesn't show Nick at nite at all.

Last spring or so, every show was available on cable in a basic cable ratings chart, it was great! That's when TC, DS and BB were the top shows on Nick at Nite.

Okay, I really don't understand this. If the ratings fell so badly, why don't they remove the bad lineup and put on the lineup that made them a good network? I don't understand that.

Okay, here is my opinion on Kids Say.....Personally, I don't see that as a sitcom. I just don't. Plus I don't want to see something that was canceled 2 months ago. AAaarhhhh! I'm shutting up before I get so angry that my hair begins to short circuit.

Why?Because they are stupid.

I cringe to think that Three's Company may be the next in
line to get the axe,they already moved it to the late late
night spot even though it was SUPPOSED to be their top
show at the time.We don't get Tvland,so any show that
moves over from N@N to there we miss.:(
As I mentioned on another board on another website what
we need is a cable network that shows ONLY classic sitcoms
24-7.
I mean there are plenty out there!
btw:I agree KSTDT ISN'T a sitcom,it's more like CANDID CAMERA.

It's not; it's more variety. Now, if they showed the old "Kids Say..." with Art Linkletter, I'd be interested, but the new one?

Nick needs to talk to Rich Cronin, the guy that runs the Game Show Network (and used to run TVL). He realized that it was the classic shows that were getting all the attenton, so they stayed and GSN is flourishing. I guess some have to sick so others can swim. *evil laughter* http://www.theunholytrinity.org/cracks_smileys/contrib/blackeye/hehehmn.gif

Nick lost me last fall after one too many marathons,now I'm split between TV LAND &Game Show Network,I miss the NAN of old circa 1985-1990,TIIC should know marathons break viewing patterns...Family Ties is apearantly a big BUST,I'm sure there will be a Cosby marathon and another show will be pushed into the graveyard shift,theres no reason to watch Nick anymore most ,if not all the shows are available on local stations or TBS,come on Nick get a ****** clue,and no NOT BLUES CLUES!!!!!

[boechsner]

I think it's time that we begin chiseling the Nick at Nite gravestone!

First ruining their schedule by overdosing on Double Takes and then chocking us to death with an endless supply of Cheers. Now, this may be the final nail in Nick at Nite's coffin.

TV Land needs to rescue The Brady Bunch, Diff'rent Strokes and Family Ties!!! All the other N&N shows (All in the Family, Cheers, Three's Company) can waste away on Nick at Nite. I feel very sorry for The Cosby Show, will there be any viewers left to see it?

[Smokebutt]

I hope they change thier schedule in march, because last fall it was just not good anymore, i'm really hope that they can change things around soon:eek:

So that "Kids say the darnest things" is on that channel like on mondays ??? will "Diff'rent Strokes" will still be on the same time ??? I,m Pretty Comfuse right now.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[JT]

No no.
The Brady Bunch should stay and kill away on NAN.
It's been there for four years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Three's Company just got there in 2000.It should move to TVLand right after Laverne & Shirley in the mornings.That'd be perfect!

[ILuvThrsComp]

GRRRR.....I hate N@N. Why do they change a good thing? I agree, KIDS is not a sitcom. I want Threes Compnay back, and I want a station that shows ALL sitcoms ALL day. That would be so cool.

[lentzmatt]

I think they need to stop showing all these newer shows and bring back green acres, pettie coat junction, sanford and son etc!!

[Smokebutt]

Ditto, Man, and just concentrate on on 70's and 80's ones like "Sanford and Son" "Barney Miller" "One Day At A Time" "Good Times" "Silver Spoons" "Gimmie A Break" "Soap" and "Gilligan's Island"

Don't forget "The Lucy Show", "Mister Ed", and "Dennis the Menace"!!!

It baffles me that they're showing "Kids Say The Darndest Things." Really, it does.

It has the whole "those kids are so damn cute" thing going for it, but the fact is it's not Nick At Nite fodder.

So Nick At Nite is getting The Cosby Show. That's great! But it really doesn't seem like they're succeeding at "whetting our appetites" for the show.

Family Ties needs to be given a fair shake. And, while I love Cheers, four times a day IS a bit much, no matter how much they paid for the series. I think Nick At Nite should give all you Diff'rent Strokes and Facts Of Life fans a bone by putting them on TV Land.

Let's be honest - the shows are more suitable for the TV Land demographic, anyway. Plus, they can be shown more than once a day.

But who knows? Maybe they lost the rights to The Facts Of Life. It's not an inexpensive show to run, after all.

And I just realized I'm rambling. I'm going to click the "post" button now.

This is still tentative but Diff'rent Strokes MIGHT come back on Feb 4th at 9pm.

I'll try to get an official word soon, do not get happy yet.

I hope that will come true, and if it does, I hope they start off from where they left off.

False alarm, Diff'rent Strokes will not return in February. Kids Say will run until 2/28, then it will be replaced by The Cosby Show effective 3/3.
