Benson weekend did decent for TV Land. It will continue to air weeknights at 11 p.m. (expanded to 7 nights starting in July) and starting Monday TV Land will give it a mini-marathon every Monday from 12am-4am. More details will come on the General board very soon...so check back!

That's great news. :woohoo:

It should more like 10pm to 2am, so I probably can only see half of the mini-thon

I am so glad that The Benson Marathron did well for TV Land that is Awsome News

That is great news I am happy that it did well.

I'm SO happy Benson did well! Yay!

But didn't Carol Burnett and Flip Wilson do well in THEIR marathons and then flop... same for a few others?

Hopefully it continues to do well during the regular airings. I LOVE Benson. Up until this past weekened I had barely seen any of it. Ten times more hilarious than I ever thought.

I am very glad to hear that Benson did well in the ratings, but I'm really not surprised. ;)

That's good news, I was afraid it might have problems, but I guess I was wrong. The marathon exposed the show to new viewers.

Benson did so well TV Land is giving Benson a Mina Marathron Starting Monday, June 12, 2006

I'm glad it did well. I didn't get a chance to see much of the marathon.

Hopefully this will encourage more people to vote for it get on DVD. It's getting harder to see the classic sitcoms in syndication anymore

It seems as though the mini-marathon is a chance for viewers to watch the rest of the week's episodes in one night. After four episodes air (Tuesdays through Fridays) they re-air encores for the rest of the mini-marathon.

So, if you do not feel like waiting till ten o' clock every day, then you can watch, tape, and/or DVD record all of the episodes all at once.

It is a good idea in my opinion.

I'm glad TVLand is giving us the marathon, I only hope that they don't stale it out by having countless marathons like they do for Good Times. I would like to see Benson on for an hour.

Ouch....while I'm glad to see Three's Company back on, I don't agree with moving Benson to a later slot. It's a new show on TV Land, for God's sake!

Three's Company has been a monster ratings hit for TV Land, so this will make Benson even more good in the ratings...so it is a decent move. They were waiting to bring Three's Company back, since it had low airplays per episode (they used it so much).

I hope you're right. I have this hunch that people who like Three's Company should also appreciate Benson. I'm not sure why--maybe it's just because I like both shows so much! :D

I think Benson will keep on doing Well when TV Land Moves Benson to weeknight's at

Another change...

Fridays, starting next Friday (June 30)
11:30PM Three's Company (replaces Benson)
They are doing this so they have TC from 11p-4a non-stop.
