If you didn't hear, the Friday Night movie will only be shown once. All 7 regularly scheduled Benson episodes will be shown instead of just the last one in the order.

Good job to everyone who spoke up about this. Hey we may not be an extremely big group but we're a vocal group over there. ;)

I wish that Benson would air every Friday Night dont you

It is for this Friday ONLY. 6 episodes will air from approx. 12:40 to 4am.

can you please let us know what episodes will be airing from 11:40 pm until 3:00 am Central Time The only episode I know is Takin it to the Street and that one is at 2:30 am Central Time

I'll believe it when I see it.

What's wrong with them over there? They have the most screwed up schedules anywhere.

this skipping of episodes is ridiculous....

Holiday eps I can understand being skipped by why skip the other ones?

I posted this already on the General Sitcoms board. Episodes 16-20, 22.

Thanks for the blog headline and letting us know that Friday Night movies will end in December. I am surprised they lasted so long. When they first announced them, they made it sound as though it would just be a summer thing but then they kept advertising them even after August & September had ended. It will be great to get the Benson mini-marathon back on Fridays! :)

I cant wait to watch Benson Tonight at 11:40 pm Tonight

Yall are not going to belive this but I fell a Sleep in my Chir around 12:20 am Central Time so I only got to see episode 16 if yall can belive that

Don't you hate when that happens? I fell asleep during "Cold Storage" so I missed half of that one plus the following 3. :mad:

Yes I do hate when I fall a Sleep and I was looking forward to trying to watch every episode of Benson since we have to wait until December to watch Benson

Few changes for Thursday, October 26 and Friday, October 27 ONLY:

Benson Friday marathon replaces the Friday, October 27 encore of No Way Out. Benson will air approx. 12:40am-4am on this night (episodes 27-31, 33). No Way Out will still air 10pm-12:40am.
No Way Out encore is now moved to late Thursday, October 26, 1:15am-4am, replacing some of The Jeffersons Thursday night marathon.

I know one thing I am going to try to stay up this time

I see a pattern developing. :D

What do you mean by you see a Pattern Developing

The pattern is that TV Land is supposed to show the Friday Night movie twice in the same night but this is the 2nd week in a row that won't happen and we get MORE BENSON! :)

Then I am with you

on the TVLand forums TVtheLink said that this should go on like this for the next few months - not skipping the Benson episodes that is - good news.

I am sorry to say ecause of The News coming on at 11:00 pm and Saint's Game lan at 11:35 pm I did not get to see Benson Last Night Then I plan on watching Benson at 12:05 am but it happen again I fell a sleep.

on the TVLand forums TVtheLink said that this should go on like this for the next few months - not skipping the Benson episodes that is - good news.

I wonder what their reasoning was behind this move...are we fans on the message board over there vocal enough, is the show picking up ratings-wise, or is there some other reason they decided to show the movie encore presentation on Saturday?

Whatever the reason, I'm happy. :D

I hope that it was a Raing Decison

For Friday, November 3, 2006:
Benson marathon replaces encore airing of Airplane!, which has been moved to Friday, November 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. Airplane! will still premiere at 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Friday, November 3.

Benson episodes for this Friday airing approx. 12:05am to 4am: episodes 21, 32, 68 (premiere!), 87, 38, 39, 40.

I am going to try to stay up this time

Ooh...I'm looking forward to "Black Tuesday" (#68). Haven't seen it in years! :happyface

what was lack Tuesday about

It is the final episode of Season 3, Gov Gatling is running for re-election and the results show that he has lost the election. I have to see it again to remember exactly how that happened and how it turned out that he won the election after all.

what time is that episode is going to air

Pavan, do you know the explanation for why Benson is essentially getting its episodes back on Friday nights? Is there any evidence that the show is improving in the ratings or does this just have more to do with the scheduling of the movies than with Benson?

what time is that episode is going to air

It looks to be scheduled for midnight Central time.

I am going to watch lack Tuesday at 12:00 am Central Time

I wonder if we are going to be getting another hreat Benson Marathron from 11:10 pm until 3:00 am

More details: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2006/11/33rd-annual-peoples-choice-awards.html

It will not air next Friday.

Thanks for The episode list

Episodes 88, 94-96, 45-47.

Link from TVLand said that the jumping around is to make up for contractual # of airings (still don't get that one)

and next friday is the Star Trek Marathon, so that is why it won't be on then.

What do you mean by Making up for Contractual # Of airing.

They are just lazy to reschedule the episodes. So, they are putting in random episodes. Episodes 45-47 were scheduled, but the ones before that were the "new" ones schedule because of the change.

I thought maybe there were certain episodes they were contracted to show more than other episodes, but I can't say for sure.

I have a good feeling that Benson is doing very well in The Ratings on Friday Night's from 11:10 pm until 3:00 am

probably - I specifically asked Link why they did that, and "contractual obligations" was the answer he gave me

...and as for what that means, your guess is as good as mine *shrug*

I sure di enjoy Friday Night Marathron of Benson

For Friday, November 24 and Saturday, November 25:

Ghostbusters 2 will now encore on Saturday, November 25 at 12pm-2:30pm instead of immediately after the premiere on Friday, November 24 (10pm-12:40am).
Additionally, both airings of Ghostbusters 2 will be followed by an episode of I Pity The Fool.

Friday encore will be replaced by five episodes of Benson from approx. 1:10am to 4am. Episodes 33-36, 55.

More good news. Benson must be doing well in the Friday night ratings otherwise I doubt this would happen.

Unless, of course, the movies are really tanking.

that was I was thinking The Movie must be taking in The tanking.

For Friday, December 1 and Saturday, December 2:

Stir Crazy will now encore on Saturday, December 1 at 12pm-2pm instead of immediately after the premiere on Friday, December 2 (10pm-12:10am).
Additionally, the premiere airing of Stir Crazy will be followed by an episode of I Pity The Fool at 12:10am.

Friday encore will be replaced by six episodes of Benson from approx. 12:40am to 4am. Episodes are TBD, for now.

i think that the best way to send a message to TVLAND that this is what the fans WANT, is for people to KEEP posting on the Benson board there - Link has said that it was due to the fan's response that they moved the encore showing of the movies for Benson.

I post often over there (my name is "Vandelay" on that board)...it's also encouraging that they are accomodating the show a little more now. I just feel that if they had left the show at 11pm EST every day for awhile instead of one lousy week, the show would have done pretty well in that slot as people discovered it. They didn't exactly allow people enough time to even realize it was there. But I'm assuming the ratings must be pretty decent in the Tuesday and Friday slots otherwise they would have probably yanked it from those slots as well by now.

Whatever it takes to get the show to DVD, let's do it. :D

I am glad that Benson is getting The Friday Night Time Slot on riday Night's

For Friday, December 1 and Saturday, December 2:

Stir Crazy will now encore on Saturday, December 1 at 12pm-2pm instead of immediately after the premiere on Friday, December 2 (10pm-12:10am).
Additionally, the premiere airing of Stir Crazy will be followed by an episode of I Pity The Fool at 12:10am.

Friday encore will be replaced by six episodes of Benson from approx. 12:40am to 4am. Episodes are TBD, for now.


Some notes on this, Benson episodes on Friday are: episodes 78, 125, 60-62. I Pity the Fool and Andy Griffith will air after the Stir Crazy encore from 2-3pm Saturday.

Encore will remain following the premiere of Great Balls of Fire next Friday night (Dec. 8). So, Great Ball of Fire from 10pm-12:30am, encore from 12:30am-3:30am, then an episode of I Pity the Fool at 3:30am. No Benson that night.

Really? They have Episode # 67 ("The Lumber Mill") listed for Dec 8 at 3:30am. Has this been changed?

Last minute change, no Benson 3:30am on Dec. 8.

I just chacked www.tvland.com (http://www.tvland.com) Bensonfan and there is no Benson that night

Last minute change, no Benson 3:30am on Dec. 8.

Damn! But that is the last hurrah for Friday Night movies, isn't it?

Yes, Dec. 8 is the last night of the Friday Night movies.

Benson will be back on December 15, 2006 since December 8 will be The last of The movies on TV Land and then Benson will be back Full Time

You guys are aware that there's 4 different episodes today at noon (and every Tuesday) ?

yeah, but those arent the ones that TVLand has been pre-empting and re-scheduling every week.

yes, but if you are trying to record the series you have to be watching for both days as they seem to be airing it in order for the most part and the episodes are not overlapping.

I Love watching Benson on Tuesday Morning's from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm Central Time on TV.Land

You guys are aware that there's 4 different episodes today at noon (and every Tuesday) ?

Of course, but for those of us trying to tape the episodes we don't have, it helps to know which day the episode will air. :D

I will be glad when Benson will be ack on Friday Night's from11:10 pm until 3:00 am on TV Land Starting December 15, 2006.

No, Benson will air approx. 1:10am-4am every Fridays.

yes, but if you are trying to record the series you have to be watching for both days as they seem to be airing it in order for the most part and the episodes are not overlapping.
to be honest, its been driving me CRAZY - I only need 12 more episodes, and they keep jumping back and forth past them pissed:

I forgot that TV Land moved now airs Marathron from 12:10 am until 3:00 am Central Time on early Saturday Night's.
