I'm not sure yet of the reason for the marathon. I expect either two reasons though: 1.) Baywatch's 15th Anniversary 2.) They have number of airplays left for its current Viacom contract and want to air as much as they can before it expires.

Maybe a mixture of both.
They figure, what the hell.... might as well.
I saw something on ET or one of those shows that David Hasselhoff will be in the Spongebob Movie sporting his "[i]Baywatch do"

Family Ties expires after November. They will lose rights to it. And as for Spike TV, I don't think they can air a marathon that long, like TV Land. They would have to pre-empt their entire week to air it (like CSI). I'm sure TV Land will probably air the earlier seasons in that marathon, like 48 episodes between episodes 1-96 or so (which is like up to 1994 or 95).

Ouch.
Well, at least the DVDs are coming....

Re: Baywatch Weekend

Tv Land has hit a new low.

Honestly, I don't mind them showing a marathon of "Baywatch." As long as its like the 1989-1993 episodes, fine. They've aired "Perfect Strangers" and "Roc" and those shows ended in 1993 and 1994, respectively.

I understand completely them wanting to burn off the episodes, and it's going to be a one time thing, since the show's contract with Viacom expires.

It's only one weekend, and honestly, I'd rather watch BW for a whole weekend than "Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza."

I would rather watch BW too than Gunsmoke or Bonanza, but IMO BW still doesn't belong on TVLAND even for a weekend but that's just my opinion. :)

I really have no problem with Baywatch airing on TVLand.... I just think a more logical decision would be for it to air on SpikeTV.

I think the ratings would be through the roof on Spike, if TVLAND can preempt their programming for this marathon then why can't Spike?

Im not sure.... but a show on Spike would only improve if moved to TVLand.... I think more people have TVLand than Spike anyways.

The show already aired on Spike TV/TNN. It didn't do that well, I hear. It's only for a weekend marathon on TV Land anyway, so it's not hurting anyone. If you like the show, fine watch it, if not don't watch TV Land that weekend. Personally, I like only two seasons of Baywatch. 92-93 and 93-94. So hopefully they show those seasons and the seasons before those, and not the later seasons.

I'm sure there will be people complaining about Baywatch, even if it's only for 48 hours...

It always was confusing to me that 'Baywatch' did not do that well on Spike TV- it was one of the few shows on there that didn't suck, IMO.

The Baywatch contract for Viacom does not include the NBC-cancelled first season (1989 - 1990). Personally, I'm hoping for episodes from Seasons 2 - 6. They will probably show a lot of Pamela Anderson featured episodes (Seasons 3 - 7).

Pavanbadal:
- If 'Baywatch' did not do that well on Spike TV, then why would TV Land air 48 hours of it just to get rid of airings from the contract. Is it financially smarter to have a weekend of bad ratings or just not air the show anymore? On the flip side, if this marathon was to do really well, wouldn't TV Land maybe consider adding the show to the regular line-up (at least until the end of the contract next year). I think 'Baywatch' should air an hour a day on TV Land/Spike TV if 'MacGyver' can air 4 times a day between the 2 channels.

I'm sure they paid a lot for Baywatch, so they are trying to use every airing of it. Who knows, maybe it would do well on TV Land, but I don't think they have any plans of airing it as a regular, even if it does well in the marathon. Maybe closer to the termination, Spike TV will re-add it to their line-up, but most likely in the morning, like 9am.

I think the first 4 seasons are the best, you're right, it's not hurting anyone, just surprising that TVLAND's airing it :)

Say Viacom paid X amount of money for Baywatch.
Over the years they air it on TNN/Spike TV and the ratings are not that high.
After the Viacom contract concludes, would the show cost less for another company to aquire due to the low ratings that it had on Spike TV. I realize that the chances of another network wanting to aquire it are decreased due to it not performing that well on Spike TV. Do low ratings of aquired series affect its price tag?

Baywatch was at one time listed as "The Most Popular Series in the World". In the United States I would still say it is popular to some degree. Everyone pretty much knows what it is and lots of people continue to make refrences to it. So why are they not watching any more? It seems to me that compared to sitcoms, dramas do have a harder time maintaining syndication longevity. Is Baywatch just a thing of the past and not a timeless series? I'd just like to see the series released on DVD and just forget about how it performs on television.

Well, if Viacom doesn't renew, I'm sure someone will pick it up eventually. It might be cheaper, because it would be what, its 3rd cable deal? Usually the first 1-2 deals of a show are more costly. So, yes, it would probably go cheaper, but I don't think ratings would be a factor.

I agree 100%with that 48 hours of Baywatch!

What's next? a 48 hour weekend marathon of the Cosby Show.

If we're lucky.












(and keep in mind.... Im being completely unsarcastic)

darn, i was hoping the schedule would be changed next month. i don't care for the current tv land schedule --- too much old shows if you ask me. i would love to see the following:

1. the brady bunch and happy days get moved into a prime-slot spot.

2. more airplay for three's company (hopefully a mini-marathon during the week)

3. less airtime of the old tiring 50's and 60's shows. they have aired countless of times over the last 40 years.

4. gilligan's island, lavern & shirly and perfect strangers all getting brought back.

5. the wonder years on tv land.

sorry, but times are a changin' and according to thelink [on the tv land online message boards], the network is being "evolutionized". so i guess we will see more 70's and 80's shows in the future on tv land. good news to me! :D

1. TBB sure, but not HD. HD should just stay at WGN for a few years imo.
2. I disagree there. For a while, TC was overplayed, and I think this current scheduling of it is perfect. But I wouldn't mind having the hour at 6/6:30PM CT back...
3. TVLand is for old shows from the 50s and 60s. Why should they drop them?
4. GI airs on Hallmark, L&S is on Lifetime. Sure, both are at sucky times, but they had a glorious heyday at TVL, both of them, and they should give other shows the spotlight for a while.
5. Isn't TWY back on ABC Family?

I highly disbelieve that. "Andy Griffith" is the highest rated show (or was, I don't know) on the network and its from the 1960s. I really doubt they'd get rid of that soon, same with "Leave it to Beaver" and the two westerns ("Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza").

Why can't a channel just air shows from the 50s to the 80s all at the same time?! Why do they need to separate?!

:yeahthat well said :clap

Andy Griffith does really well, as do westerns, they don't need to separate, all channels IMO should have variety

I think TVLand should split into two networks.

One for sitcoms/variety shows....
and one for dramas.

:nod: Yep TC was overplayed as was Cheers, considering for awhile they were both on N@N and TVLAND

I agree, at least there's a channel airing L&S and HD, but IMO HD does belong on TVLAND but at a better time.

and TWY is on ABC Family still I'm pretty sure

what was stupid with Cheers was that both networks aired Cheers at 1 and 1:30

That could work too, but I still think that N@N should expand to either a 24 hour channel, or a 12 hour channel, or spin off another network

I think N@N leaving Nickelodeon would be a bad move.
Part of its appeal was that to an extent, it gave young kids less reason to stay up late. But, as we all know by now, kids enjoy N@N just as much as their parents.

that's true, N@N could always air N@N from 9pm to 9am or something like that.

Once again, some of Nickelodeon's biggest hours must be that time before school.

I think more reasonable would be something like 8:00PM-6:00AM

10 Hours, 10 shows.

Yeah that would work, I remember when N@N used to start at 8 pm

andy griffith was the highest-rated show but not now. the title of that belongs to three's company.
and if nick-at-nite continues to get more 90's shows, then the sitcoms on there now will move over to tv land and make tv land become one of the most highest-rated networks. and before long most of those dried-out classics from the 1950's and 1960's will be gone.

The way I see it, N@N should start an hour earlier. 7pm central to 5am central gives it ten hours even. Like barwars said, ten hours, ten shows. Right now we have: FH, TCS, FP, WTB?, R and W. Murphy comes in January, making 7. They can add two shows, or just replay their higher rated shows later in the night.

If TC is the highest rated, why do they only have it on after 10PM CT? They definitly treat their highest rated shows better than that.

TAGS aint goin' no where anytime soon, believe me. LITB is a little iffy, but nope I doubt thats going anywhere either.

according to the tvland the link, tv land's "prime-time" hours are from 5:00 in the early evening to 12:00 midnight. the ones that garn the highest ratings air between those hours and three's company is one of them as well as cheers and wings [in the mini-marathons].

i know for a fact that the dried-out andy and beaver won't disappear soon, but that is not to say the other 50's/60's shows won't.

FH, TCS, FP, WTB?, R and W = N@N's shows:

Full House
The Cosby Show
Fresh Prince (of Bel Air)
Who's the Boss?
Roseanne
Wings

TAGS, Beaver and the westerns are doing pretty good, according to the latest ratings report from Pav. Lucy, I don't know when her contract is up. Mr. Ed can definitly go at any time. Green Acres is also highly rated I believe. No clue about the others though.

thanks for clueing me in on those initials. i have one more: what's tags?

from what i aware of, these are the 50's/60's shows that are doing well on tv land (and/or have been): andy grifith, leave it to beaver, munsters, green acres plus those two westerns. the others, i think, are declining in the ratings which make for great opportunities for 70's/80's shows to replace them (i.e. lavern and shirly, mary tyle moore, perfect strangers, full house, growing pains, the wonder years, etc.).

EDITED- sorry I didnt see that JT had alread awnsered Jack Be Quick :blush:

Heres all the abreevations we use:

The ones listed above
IMO= in my opinion
LOL= laughing out loud
JMO= just my opinion
LITB= Leave it to Beaver
TAGS= The Andu Griffith Show
N@N= Nick@Nite
TC= Threes Company

Does that help? ;)
Umm I cant think of any otheres

I dont think thats a good idea IMO

Full House definatley doesnt need to be on another network anyway ;)

Or maybe they can replace them with...I don't know...other 50s and 60s shows. There are many popular ones that haven't been on a regular national cable network in a while. How about That Girl or Julia? The Patty Duke Show or maybe Family Affair. Our Miss Brooks or even a return of My Three Sons. Why not bring back Petticoat Junction and pair it with Green Acres?

Sure, there are many 70s and 80s shows that can replace them, but why let the 50s and 60s shows go extinct? It'll be just a matter of time before kids start asking "Who was Lucy?" and "What is a Gilligan?"

For God's sake use CAPITALS!!

there is nothing wrong with old tv shows going extinct. hell, everything has to fad out one way or the another ... look at record players, the black and white televisions, the large computers (and i mean large), the old game systems (nintendo, atarri, sega genises, etc.) - they all have faded out and been replacement by newer stuff.
so i don't see the big deal of seeing the old shows going bye bye.

Let's keep the talk on TV Land November; this is getting out of hand and I'm stopping this early.

sorry Pav :(

ALF ENTERS THE LATE NIGHT ARENA WITH THE

PREMIERE OF ALF'S HIT TALK SHOW

Six New Episodes Set to Air Beginning Friday, Nov. 5

New York, NY, October 27, 2004 - Cats aren't the only ones who should be nervous about Alf now that TV Land has entered the late night showdown with Alf's Hit Talk Show. The half-hour talk show features legendary Ed McMahon as Alf's co-host, celebrity guests and comedy bits. The series has been picked up for six episodes and begins airing on Friday, November 5 at 11 p.m. (all times ET/PT). The premiere features guests Merv Griffin and Joe Mantegna.

"We are thrilled to be able to move forward to series on Alf's Hit Talk Show," states Sal Maniaci, Vice President, TV Land and Nick at Nite. "Alf and Ed are both celebrated television icons who obviously connect with our viewers, and we are excited that we are able to entertain our audience with Alf's wit and humor. This is definitely an alternative to many of today's standard late night programs."

Celebrities who are slated to appear in the first six weeks of Alf's Hit Talk Show include Merv Griffin, Joe Mantegna (Joan of Arcadia), Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond), Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle), Tom Arnold (actor), Tom Green (actor/comedian), Eric Roberts (Less Than Perfect), Leon Redbone (musician) and Jack Sheldon and The California Cool Quartet (musicians).

The show is executive produced by Paul Fusco and Burt Dubrow and is co-produced by Jean Wiegman.

TV Land Productions was created in 2003 to develop original programming that complements the network's successful acquired programming slate. TV Land Productions has also produced The TV Land Awards Show: A Celebration of Classic TV (March 2003 and 2004) and the Emmy-nominated The Dick Van Dyke Show, Revisited, the network's first original special for broadcast, which premiered on CBS in May. For more information about TV Land's original Wednesday night line-ups, visit www.tvland.com .

It better be worth taking a half hour TC off every Friday

Baywatch?!

WTF...this show is recent...

What is with Nick @ Nite and TV Land getting shows that were on less than 10 years ago?

And Nick @ Nite promotes and promotes the new TV shows that they get and then just jump them on TV Land and then TV Land dumps them to seedy early morning slots!

What happened to The Cosby Show on N@N (and even TV Land for that matter...)

Why do they (N@N) have Roseanne on so late?

I don't know N@N or TV Land's current schedule but the last time I checked when Roseanne first went onto N@N it was on at 11...why so late?

I thought it was going to be added to TV Land.

I barely even got to see that! And I didn't get to see any of The Flip Wilson Show! :mad:
