It could be worst. It could be 2 episodes of The Cosby Show.:lol:
I do agree though that some of those shows you mentioned should be on TV Land somewhere.

Please don't shout...(That's what All Caps means, ya know)

Cheers I agree, doesn't belong on TV Land, considering it's decent overplay elsewhere, but, Family Ties is crossing the border into being decently aged, and it's not being overly reran elsewhere, so I have no problem. (Of course, I happen to LIKE Family Ties, so...)

TV Land is the only channel that is airing Family Ties. So if TV Land takes it off, Family Ties will not be airing. It's twenty-two years old, isn't that old enough? Why is it that people aren't allowed to bash TCS without the thread being closed, ie: Nick@Nite in June, it's been closed. I didn't get to respond to the thread, and I'm pretty sure I know why it was closed. Yet a thread like this can be made asking for FT to be taken off. Perhaps Cheers only needs to be on one channel, either N@N or TV Land. So, if TV Land has to take one of the two off then take off Cheers, but please not Family Ties!

I think Family Ties and cheers should go back to nick at night...thats where it belongs!!! FT is 22 yrs old but it does not fit with shows 40 to 50 years old!!

Who cares if Cheers and Family Ties aren't as old as other shows. It doesn't make them any less classic

SORRY.....I DISAGREE....GET THEM OUT OF THERE... CHEERS IS PLAYED OUT...THOSE OTHER OLD SHOWS NEVER GET TIRESOME! AND FAMILY TIES....GIVE IT UP...A CLASSIC.....!!!!

Cheers is not played out at all. N@N never ran it into the ground like they did with Cosby. Cheers should move back to N@N, but it should have an earlier timeslot than 1-2 and 4-5AM. As for FT, it is an 80's sitcom, and is now old enough for TVLand. Let's be happy it has the nice 11PM spot - remember those N@N days...

Oh I know. When FT was on N@N it had an awful time slot. I'm glad it's on TVL at 10PM (Central), 11PM Eastern Time.

Hey!!! Don't complain! Thank God it's NOT the Cosby Show that's on there!

FT and Cheers BOTH started the same year - 1982!!!

FT at 11
and Cheers at 11:30 is the best hour on TVLand IMO

Calm down. What's with all these mad people lately?

It could be a LOT worse. I think Family Ties should stay on TV Land. Cheers? Well... if it wouldn't air also on N@N and countless locals it would be alright.

I THINK the N@N June thread was closed because Pav has the "true" thread locked for a reason, until he has all the details.
People jumped to conclusions.

That's exactly right. He does it with every month's schedule until all the details are out.

i do agree they need to ditch family ties....that show makes me sick!!!

One of the very rare times we agree 100%. I get so sick of people trying to call certain shows less of a classic than others. Both shows are classics. I bet these same people who hate FT and Cheers would call Three's Company a classic easy even though it was late 70s and early 80s. It is only for 1 hour a day! People get over it and let us who enjoy it, watch and enjoy.

Yep...And TVLand doesn't do a double take of both shows at that time....unlike N@N :rolleyes:

Cheers comes on TV Land and nick at nite. I hate it. I also hate when cobsy went to tvland even if it was for a while. I don't care what channel is Family Ties is on as long its on ealry time.

I'm bewildered why both Cheers andFamily Ties are on TV Land when Three's Company is not airing anymore. Instead moving FT & Cheers to TV Land, they should have moved 3's Co instead because it's far older than the other two and more of a classic, if you ask me. But no that didn't happen and as a result, we're stuck with FT on TV Land and Cheers on BOTH TV Land and Nick at Nite.
:rolleyes:

Three's Company started in 1977
Family Ties started in 1982
Cheers started in 1982

So, Three's Company is ONLY five years older than FT and Cheers. A difference of five years doesn't make one classic and the other two not classic.

Exactly Jen. There really is no argument for claiming Three's Co. is a classic, while Family Ties and Cheers are not. Shows like these are classics because you can tell as you watch.

It isn't like with the Cosby Show. FT and Cheers are played a reasonable number of times and are not overplayed. FT only comes on at 11pm and Cheers only at 11:30pm and 1 and 1:30am.

And I'm getting tired of these sitcom Nazis trying to put down a couple shows just because they don't like them. It is just 1 hour late in the night, get over it.

I understand your point, FT & Cheers do not belong on TV Land. They fit in better with the N@N shows.

and I think threes company deserves better treatment from n&n and tvland..cosby does suck too!!

Why don't you all just be patient. I am regrettably sure that Three's Company will be on television long after Family Ties is gone. Just be patient. Family Ties was off both networks for a while and then popped back up on TV Land. I am sure Three's Company will do the same. I hate Three's Company but wouldn't care if they brought it to TV Land as long as it didn't take off Family Ties or Cheers.

You must be looking for a fight from the people who you have offended. No one said you were a nerd or idiot for liking Three's Company, so why say that about the Family Ties fans? Enough with the Family Ties bashing already!

FT deserves to be aired, I can see the Cheers claim because it's already on N@N, but Family Ties fans deserve the right to see their show too.

How is that bashing??? It's an opinion and I believe we people are ENTITLED to our opinions.


To be honest, I agree --- it is lame to see Family Ties on TV Land.

Let's see...so we FT fans are lame, nerdy, and idiotic? I don't remember anyone bashing I Love Lucy, so what gives you the right to bash Family Ties? The only reason you don't consider it bashing is because your part of the bashing. But, if it were I Love Lucy, Three's Company, or TCS, then suddenly it's bashing. Out of all the shows TVLand shows you choose to pick on FT which doesn't air on any other network, yet you don't even bring up shows that air on multiple channels, except for Cheers. I guess your going to go on a rampage when you realize this, but as of June Cheers will be on TV Land for three additional timeslots plus the timeslot it already has and it will still be airing on N@N. So, spare us the crying rendition of woe is me, I Love Lucy and/or Three's Company doesn't air enough. Whether either of those two shows air and to what extent has nothing to do with Family Ties or Cheers so get off your soap box already and take a chill pill.

Family Ties is started to get bashed just as much as TCS, and for no reason!!

It only airs once a night!!

If anyone were to bash any TVLand show.... go for The Andy Griffith Show or The Munsters.... they air something like 3 or 4 times in the afternoon/evening.

I think Family Ties should stay on.I don't like it but I think they should keep it on because that's the only channel it airs.If I said that they should take it off,I would be a hypocrite because I'm mad @ Nick@Nite for taking Three's Company off.So Cheers go,Family Ties stay

Andy Griffith has also been on forever. Every episode has probably aired 500,000 times. :lol:

I don't think the fans of FT are lame, nerdy, or idiotic (unless for a good reason) . . . I just think TV Land airing Family Ties is lame.


The only reason you don't consider it bashing is because your part of the bashing.
I don't know where you have come up with the idea of Family Ties being bashed by me . . . that's why I asked the question in the first place, duh! I want YOUR definition of bashing and an example so to speak of where I "bashed" Family Ties. You claim that I have bashed Family Ties but yet it seems as though you don't have evidence.



Out of all the shows TVLand shows you choose to pick on FT which doesn't air on any other network, yet you don't even bring up shows that air on multiple channels, except for Cheers.

If it seems that I'm "picking" on FT, then so be it! You may percieve me as that way if you wish. Bottom line is . . .the show doesn't belong on TV Land. Why should a modern tv classic like Family Ties take up airtime at the expense of an original classic when the TV network was ORIGINALLY intended ONLY for original classics? In other words, why aren't the seldem-seen shows of the 1950's and 1960's not on TV Land but yet two popular 80's shows are? Those 1950's and 1960's shows have a better chance of airing on TV Land than they do Nick at Nite and FT and "Cheers" have a better chance of airing on Nick at Nite. So in reality, both FT and "Cheers" are making it harder for the seldom-seen 1950's/1960's shows to land on a TV Land.


but as of June Cheers will be on TV Land for three additional timeslots plus the timeslot it already has and it will still be airing on N@N.

Yeah, I have seen TV Land's June TV schedule. I'm not to thrilled about the addition airtime "Cheers" will be getting on TV Land. It's so pointless, if you ask me.

Silvana, I do agree with you and I assure you we aren't the only ones in agreeance over this one issue. Others like you and I do agree with us ...check out the boards at TV Land Online. That's proof there. In fact, I believe they even have started a petition to kick off Family Ties and Cheers on TV Land. So if you want your voice to be heard, I recommend that you sign that petition and write to TV Land. I wish you good luck and I hope your goal with this issue comes true!

I wholeheartedly agree.

Family Ties was tossed about on N@N. It was terrible. Three's Company had a steady timeslot for a while there, and it's N@N's longest current runing show, since late 2000. I think a break was long overdue. I love the show, but you'd get sick of it if you watched it every single night for four nights. This way, you'll be anticipating the shows return and it'll be all the greater because you haven't seen it for a while. I know I am whenever it returns to either N@N or TVLand.

If shows like Square Pegs, Perfect Strangers, and MacGyver were able to air on TVLand, than what disqualifies Family Ties from airing. Not only is it a better show than those three, but it's also older (At least older than PS) and is funnier.

LucyFan's just upset because of the fact that ILL isn't in the 11PM slot anymore. Granted it's a good show, but it's been on N@N/TVLand for about 10 years now without a break. I think that's long enough for any one show. :o It's not even overplayed. It has one timeslot and it's only been on since January.

Speak for yourself! Yes, I'm upset NOT because of ILL BUT because older shows ( some of which that are rarely seen) like Dennis the Menace, Get Smart, Family Affair, The Lucy Show, Flipper, My Three Sons, Mork and Mindy, Mary Tyler Moore, The Jeffersons, Rhoda, Dragnet, Adam-12, Emergency!, ect. aren't on TV Land, while these "Modern TV Classic" hand-me-down leftovers from Nick at Nite have invaded the network.
From September 4th, 2000 and forward, what I expected was true ... the classics are getting the shaft and it will only get worse (unless a new TV network thats truly dedicated to classic television comes out) as the years progress. :(

Oh please! It's ONLY one hour out of 24 hours a day! Even if FT and Cheers weren't airing on TVLand, most likely TVLand would simply air one or two of it's shows that it ALREADY has in the 11PM-12AM timeslot. If TVLand was so "concerned" about '50 & 60's seldom aired shows being aired then the ENTIRE 24 hours would consist of nothing but 1950's and 1960's, not allowing anything from 1970-present. While most of their shows are very old, there is nothing wrong with having a little variety and airing a show like FT that is 22 years old. If you are so bothered by not getting enough air time for I Love Lucy why don't you tape all the episodes and then watch them over and over again when you want to. What you could do is during the time that FT and Cheers airs you can put your VHS tape in and watch I Love Lucy, then you would still get to watch it. Gosh forbid you might actually have to come across a modern classic, oh the horror, the horror! Seriously though, you need to get over your hissy fit about FT and Cheers airing. How many times a day does I Love Lucy have to air before you'll be happy and leave the rest of us alone to let us watch our shows? You say FT isn't a classic, I'm still wanting for a GOOD reason as to why you think that is. So far, I haven't heard a GOOD reason. Know why? Because there isn't a good reason, because it is a classic. Just because you think it's not a classic, doesn't make it not one.

MacGyver also airs on Spike tv. I think it's stupid to air the same show on two different networks.

I agree...Plus, ILL has been on in some form of reruns for a LONG LONG LONG LONG time. The Brady Bunch was on in reruns for a LONG time also...then they took it off about one or two years ago to give it a nice break, which was what it really needed and now I've been seeing it occasionally on TVLand.

Give it a break, LucyFan- ILL started a HALF-CENTURY ago and it's been on in reruns FOREVER, plus there's a TON of ILL DVD's out. Yet, Family Ties isn't out on DVD yet and you're complaining?!! Give me a break!

Like Chris said- N@N treated FT unfairly. FT also used to be on TBS in the 7AM Central slot, but TBS didn't give it much of a chance. It was on for a while during my 10th grade year, then all of a sudden they yanked it and I never saw it again therafter. Think about it- FT hasn't had much of a chance to rerun properly, being tossed around so much 'n' stuff. But fortunately, ILL is on DVD...that's more than many people can say for Family Ties!

Sadly, TV Land is the only channel that airs FT...It's going to have to do. Meanwhile, be thankful it's not TCS.

I'm just happy to see Family Ties getting so much deserved attention, most of it positive.:D

I simply do not understand your problem. Why do you think that their is a massive wall erected between 1979 and 1980? That is your own opinion. I consider anything that began running 1985 or before a classic. And after a few more years, shows starting in the late 80s, early 90s will be classics. Like it or not. You can't freeze time. Lucy wasn't a classic in the 60s.

Comparing N@N and TVLand is like trying to compare apples and oranges. N@N only airs for 9 hrs where as TVLand airs 24 hours a day. There's nothing wrong with adding variety to N@N, but what you have to keep in mind is there's only so much you can fit in a 9 hour period, esp. with double takes. TVLand has finally devoted an hour to two great shows. Is it really worth the temper tantrum you're throwing? No, but I guess if you're going to throw a two year old fit, then go right ahead, but you don't have to expose us to it.

Yeah...24 hours = 48 episodes....that gives TVL a lot of chances to air different shows. They're only using one of those hours for FT and Cheers. Nothin' wrong with that.

Speak for yourself! Yes, I'm upset NOT because of ILL BUT because older shows ( some of which that are rarely seen) like Dennis the Menace, Get Smart, Family Affair, The Lucy Show, Flipper, My Three Sons, Mork and Mindy, Mary Tyler Moore, The Jeffersons, Rhoda, Dragnet, Adam-12, Emergency!, ect. aren't on TV Land, while these "Modern TV Classic" hand-me-down leftovers from Nick at Nite have invaded the network.
From September 4th, 2000 and forward, what I expected was true ... the classics are getting the shaft and it will only get worse (unless a new TV network thats truly dedicated to classic television comes out) as the years progress. :(

Actually N@N started going downhill when the Wonder Years was added. That show started in 1988 and ended in 1993. It had NO place on N@N because N@N only excepted classics at the time. 1979 is a much more REASONABLE and ACCEPTABLE year for a show on N@N than 1988. A show that ended in 1993 is not a classic yet. It might be a modern classic, but not a classic in terms of N@N's style at the time.

IGive it a break, LucyFan- ILL started a HALF-CENTURY ago and it's been on in reruns FOREVER, plus there's a TON of ILL DVD's out. Yet, Family Ties isn't out on DVD yet and you're complaining?!! Give me a break!

I agree 110%. Family Ties is not one of my all time favorite programs, but nonetheless, it was a show I watched all the time as a kid in the 1980's. For me and a lot of other 20somethings and 30somethings in here, Family Ties is a classic. The show is NOT on DVD (Cheers on the other hand is), so why can't fans of the show have their one 30 minutes a day to watch it?

Maybe when the series comes out on DVD (waiting to hear "Family Ties doesn't belong on DVD because >>>I<<< hate the show and I won't buy it" much like LucyFan spewed over at the Facts Of Life board, I was watching FOL and Family Ties probably before you were even born), there is the permission to say that FT fans already have outlets to watch the show for their one 30 mins a day. Lucy and some of the other classic shows in TV Land's library are readily shown in syndication and are out on DVD. Family Ties isn't.

How fast people forget that at it's peak, Family Ties was #2 ONLY to Cosby in the ratings, the show was a phenomenal success and deserves to still be around in reruns.

Well, unfortunately, LucyFan has gotten what he wants. As of May 10, Three's Company will replace Family Ties & Cheers. Maybe now he'll shut up and stop bashing FT. Luckily, FT will still air, but it's going to be on much later unfortunately at 1 & 1:30AM Eastern Time Monday-Thursday. So on Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's Family Ties will not air. Same goes for Cheers.

honestly, as a night person, I like FT later. Gives me something to watch the hour before Roseanne comes on, and 2 showings a night? awesome!

I want someone to point exactly where this "classic tv" ends and "modern tv classics" begins.

I mean, Taxi is a "classic", while Facts Of Life, which premiered less than a year later, is a "modern tv classic"? I mean, since Taxi and Wonder Years (which began in 1988, same year FOL ended) didn't do N@N harm, but suddenly when FOL came, it "opened the floodgates" for "modern tv classics"??? What about 1978 is so "classic" while 1979 is "modern"?

Why is Three's Company a "classic" yet Cheers and Family Ties, both of which premiered when TC was still running, are "modern tv classics". Only 5 years between the shows.

I think once a show hits the 20 mark (which means Cosby, Night Court, and Who's The Boss this year), they can officially be considered CLASSICS. Cheers and Family Ties have already passed that mark.

by the way, shows like Happy Days and Mary Tyler Moore are about the same age when they came onto N@N in the early/mid 90's that Family Ties and Cheers are today... what's so different?

LucyFan's problem with Facts isn't because the show's a classic and he's denying it, it's because he swore that it made him question his sexuality.

LucyFan is a he? I dunno why I thought it was a girl. Oh well, some people mistake me as a she for the Buffy name as well.

I still find it funny to waste so much time on a board for a show that you hate. I have a lot of shows I can't stand, but I respect the fact that every show has it's following and what is the point of going there and bashing them because they probably don't like shows I like either. I mean, I'm sure I can start on Raymond, and they can turn it around and start bashing Buffy or Sex And The City. It's immature.

FOL is one of my all time favorite series, I've watched it since I was 3 years old, and I would buy every season on DVD, even the first, I don't think I should be deprived of it on DVD because one person hates it. All he has to do is when he sees it at Best Buy or wherever... bypass it and pick up a show you like instead. Just because a show is on DVD doesn't mean you're required to buy it. They're for the fans.

Geez... some people need to calm down. It will now air 8 TIMES A WEEK, instead of 7(I guess, once a night). So it will actually air MORE.

thanks for the laughter.

I just don't get the deal to be so caught-up bashing a show you hate.

LucyFan doesn't realize there's someone out there who hates every show on his list... would he like it if people went on Lucy's board and trolled it?

Also, I noticed lots of Mork And Mindy talk in there... that show came to N@N in 1991... the show was 13 years old at the time. At the same time, N@N still aired shows like Dobie Gillis and Patty Duke. M&M is only one year older than FOL as well, LOL

It's kind of complicated. Here's the break down.

I completely agree. I think 20 years old or more is a classic. Anything that debued on or before 1984 is a classic by my standards. I don't know why this debate keeps going on. Someday shows like Frasier will be a classic. Will there still be people complaining over that too? I mean I hate Facts of Life, but I still would consider it a classic because of its age and popularity.

I was just pointing out that LucyFan should be happy now that his treasured Three's Company will be replacing FT. I realize FT will be on 8 times a week, I just wish it could have stayed at the same time. I'm sorry if you feel I "need to calm down", but I have the right to voice my opinion.

Yes you do, and so do I. :p

Well you got your wi*****hree's Company will take place of FT & C,starting next week

Three's Company needed to come back anyway, and I thought it would come to TV Land.

All this show bashing has to stop. It's not the show's fault that they are airing so much. All this Cosby Show hatred is getting crazy. If you don't like the show, that's fine, you don't have to bash it just because it's airing too much. It's not the shows fault it's airing too much.

And for people complaining about shows like Family Ties, Cheers, and whatever else on TV Land. Change the channel.
