Another case of a OVERPLAYED show replacing a UNDERPLAYED Show in Syndcation. I have no desire to watch Three's Company anymore

i agree Three's company way over played and jeffersons is pushed to 7:30am which makes it worse everyone is sleeping when it comes on so what is the point.

Tv land made a hell of a dumb move pushing jeffersons up to early mornings in place of an overplayed over rated show like Three.s company that i dont even

watch anymore to begin with what is tv land thinking these days.

I guess the ratings for the Jeffersons were really bad. I am rather surprised.

The same thing happened with other successful sitcoms like The Honeymooners, Taxi and The Odd Couple.

I know ratings are important but TV Land has to have patience with some of these shows especially the ones that haven't been seen in years. I was looking forward to Benson when it first came on and TV Land just moved it later and later that I stopped watching. I hardly even watch that network anymore.

I can't believe this. This is beyond stupid. I agree, an overplayed show replaces a show that should be LEFT ALONE!!!!!!!! I swear, TVL never gives the "new" shows a chance, they stick with what works or has had a great following. Like they are playing it safe. But not giving other shows, like the Jeffersons a chance won't allow viewers to enjoy it.

$!@*&%# NO TOURETTES SYNDROME HERE, I AM PISSED!!!!!!!!

Wow. I was thinking 5 years, but it is almost 7 years!!!!!!!! TVLand is full of sh*t and it seems to me they are willing to make the viewers of those shows content without opening up their audience more with a different schedule of shows. I know they can't please everyone, but after 7 years, it's time to move the show out or at least put that show on at 7 in the morning. :mad:

It's one of those shows that lives on and on and on. But it has had its time, that one needs to come off the air for awhile as well.

Like someone else said, we need more 70's stuff like ONe Day at a Time, etc.

The one 70's show I'd like to see again is Chico And The Man. They got rid of it right before my Cable picked up TV Land.

Tell your cable provider to give you AL Network so you can see it! or maybe it's time to get some DVD's from a trader.

The thing is we originally had it when it was called The Nostalgia Network but they dropped it about 6 or 7 years ago. I remember that channel had a lot of classic shows that weren't seen by anybody else.

Too bad. They show Chico & the Man, Honeymooners (color episodes too), Welcome Back Kotter and Courtship of Eddie's Father. Also, F Troop and some other stuff.

Another new channel showing sitcoms would be such a good idea, why won"t
they do it? Like a TV Land Sitcom Only Channel.

I LOVE THE JEFFERSONS!! I've always been a fan since it aired in syndication. I've also watched it on WGN (when they were still rerunning it) and on Nick at Nite.

I was thrilled when they brought it back last September and like many of you, I'm upset it got bumped. I do like "Three's Company", but I'm not happy that they replaced it in its timeslot.

I think they should release a TV Land Sitcoms Only network where sitcoms rule only.

I sometimes go to work early in the morning, so I'll at least catch it before I get ready.

Hey everyone. Havent been on here in ages cuz of family issues, but I totally agree. I am very angry that the Jeffersons are only on at 7:30am. I always looked forward to coming home from work and relaxing with the Jeffersons, especially the episodes that arent on dvd yet. Threes Company is indeed overplayed. I used to watch it but got too tired of it long ago.
