So far Good Times and Night Court are coming. I sure hope that ODAAT and Alice are coming soon. That would make my day.

I don't mind Night Court being on there but I agree with you about those other shows. TV Land should have a variety of shows from different decades. Nanny And The Professor should make an appearance on TV Land. The last time I saw it was on FX in the 1990's.

why doesn't NC belong on TV Land? it has been over 20 years since the show began, and it was a long-running hit. I do think it should be on Nick instead but Nick seems to be wanting to air shows that's last episode was less than a decade ago.

I like all 3 shows but I agree that Night Court was better and its the one show of the original Must See TV Thursday lineup that hasn't been rerunned to death.

I love Good Times, but I would be so happy to see One Day at a time, and Alice come to reruns. I haven't seen those episodes in years. Atleast with Good Times, there is a cable affilate that airs it now daily(TV ONE). So, its good to hear that these two great Shows will be added to the line-up.

I haven't seen ODAAT in 8 or 9 years and I haven't seen Alice since TNN aired it. I don't get TV One but a local channel of mine aired Good Times a few years ago. It'll be good to see it again though.

GT comes on nightly here on my local UPN, and I watch it sometimes, but I'm definitely not a regular viewer. I haven't seen A in years though (since it left TNN), and if TVLand is indeed picking it up, I'll be on it like nobody's business...

To me a classic tvshow is one that can stand the test of time, and The Brady Bunch has definitely done that, so has Cheers and Bonanza ;)

Cheers and Brady Bunch AREN'T classics? I know you hate Cheers, but come on, NOT A CLASSIC? I don't like All In The Family but I accept the fact that the show is a classic regardless.

I really think you should give the show another chance, Solomon.
You've come to like Seinfeld.... nothing was more about nothing than that.
It has a lot in common with Seinfeld.

I think Cheers is a good show and I enjoy watching it but I do not feel that it has been off the air long enough to call a "classic". IMO a classic is something that has withstood the audience for 30+ years, Cheers is close to that, but I feel that since N@N wants to air shows from the 80's and 90's any show from the 80's and 90's would fit better on that channel, and they would have room for it if they lost all the double takes and repeating the previous double take from the night before.
TV land IMO should air shows that are not in regular syndication from years before 1980.
Alice and ODAAT would be a great addition, but it really depends on how they are going to treat the show. I would watch it regardless, but I would hate to be expecting to watch it and they skip ep's or edit them so badly that they are not as good as what I remember, or they air it once in a good time slot and then shift them into a spot that would make it hard to watch and then do away with the show.
I am afraid that if they treat either show badly they could go away and not be brought back to any channel.

It should have more to do with how long ago it started, not how long ago it ended. If they series were to end at say, the fifth season, it would be six years earlier.... so it deserves to be a classic because it didn't do as well??

I think a classic is a classic at any time.

I Love Carol Burnett!

I agree, I mean Desperate Housewives is being called a classic by most people already, and it's just in it's first season. A show doesn't have to be old to be a classic. :nod:

I think since it's 2005... let's move the "the cutoff to be a classic is if it began before 1980", people have been using that for over 5 years... I think it's time to move that up to 1985, which is 20 years ago at this point. And that ends up bumping shows like Cheers, Night Court and The Cosby Show into the "classic" catagory.

I find it funny people use that Cheers ended 12 years ago as a reason to say it's too soon to be a classic. What about Seinfeld? that was coming into it's prime when Cheers ended, and it's already widely regarded as THE classic of the 90's, and it hasn't even been a decade since they went off the air yet.

spunkygirl
04-17-2005, 02:13 PM
I know, that makes no sense to me, so it ended 12 years ago, that doesn't make it less of a classic. I mean I don't like Seinfeld, but even I know it's a classic ;)

If you trying to quote what I said about 1980 and classics you have strongly misquoted me (and this is how rumors and fight start). If you were not referring to my line then I apologize.
I stated -
"I feel that since N@N wants to air shows from the 80's and 90's any show from the 80's and 90's would fit better on that channel, and they would have room for it if they lost all the double takes and repeating the previous double take from the night before.
TV land IMO should air shows that are not in regular syndication from years before 1980."
No where did I say that the cutoff was 1980, actually I said I show should withhold an audience for 30 years to be considered a classic IMO, that does not say anything about a 1980 cutoff.

Also -"It should have more to do with how long ago it started, not how long ago it ended. If they series were to end at say, the fifth season, it would be six years earlier.... so it deserves to be a classic because it didn't do as well??"

I never said it had to end 30 years ago. I said "IMO a classic is something that has withstood the audience for 30+ years, Cheers is close to that," no matter if it started in the 1980's it still would not reach what I call 30 year march that "I" classify a show with being a classic.
Also to clarify since I have been misquoted and my words taken out of context - I feel that a classic tv show is one that is opened itself to more then just a generation or 2. I believe a show that withhold many generations after it has gone off the air is a true classic. And no cheers has not been around long enough IMO to have gained a whole new set of viewers two times over. Maybe it is starting to catch on to new viewers with it being in reruns, but it has not reached as many generations as say "I Love Lucy, Leave it to Beaver, The Munsters, etc....

I have never said anyone had to agree with my point of view, but I wish to be quoted correctly and have my opionions left in the context at wich they were stated.

I don't care when a show started it's how good the show is that makes it classic. Cheers is a classic for the fact it was funny and well written. even if you don't like Cheers it's a classic. and I think Cheers is old enough to be called classic.

Solomon, you must be crazy!?! How can you say that the Brady Bunch is not a classic? Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it isn't a classic. The Brady Bunch has been in syndication since I was a kid. Generations have grown up watching the show. That is a classic.

As for Cheers, it lasted over a decade in first run episodes. One of the biggest tourist attractions in Boston, happens to be the Bull & Finch. The real life setting for Cheers. It is a classic as well.

exactly. Personal bias doesn't equate fact. Just because one hates Cheers, Brady Bunch and MASH doesn't mean they should forget that the shows can be classic. There are a ton of "classic" shows that I will bypass if I see it while going down the dial, but I won't deny it's classic just because it's not my preferred taste.

gee, rub it in. 3 shows I actually would watch in syndication, and we're not getting it here. Yet we'll be stuck with endless Full House reruns
