Among the acquired shows:

Regarding the announcement, Ringwald stated: “These are great series, with favorite characters for which we still have an emotional connection and stories that pull us in and make us laugh or touch our heart. Our primetime programming blocks remain a destination for boomers and their families to watch high-quality programming together, reconnecting with classic television stars, as well as with today’s current names in earlier roles.”

“This partnership with AmericanLife TV offers a sensational platform for viewers to both embrace and experience again some of television’s most applauded programs,” added Twentieth Television’s MacDonald.

Well considering I want seaons 5-7 since the DVD have stopped (hope they pick back up!), I wish it were on M-F instead of just 1 show repeated (I assume?) Sunday. Then we'd get to season 5 a whole lot quicker to tape.

Thanks for the info though, pav. I've never heard of this station before...I hope my area has it.

I hope they're not as edited as the TV Land version was. I recorded the entire series when it aired on TV Land but there is so much cut out I never watch them. It makes me sick to see how heavily edited these were!

it has been a few year's since Mary Tyler Moore show has been on TV

AmericanLife airs every show unedited.

AmericanLife airs every show unedited.

WOW. Man, I wish I got this channel. I'd be taping up a storm, LOL.

I'm not familiar with this channel. Is it a nationwide cable channel? It would be nice if that channel aired here. I have no idea if that channel is even available here.

I wish DirecTV would get this channel,since they air their shows unedited. Which other networks besides this channel and TV One also air unedited shows?

WOW. Man, I wish I got this channel. I'd be taping up a storm, LOL.

Yeah, same here. Then my only problem would be having enough room to store all the dvds. :lol:

Dear GOD, I wish I had this channel!!!!!

I really would love for COX to get this Channel
