maybe they could add the brady bunch....SOMETIME???

They better in december.

what happend to knight rider

what happend to knight rider
Yeah, whatever happened to giving Knight Rider a chance? They only had it on for 11 days so far, and already they've decided to get rid of it next month? Reminds me of Nick at Nite. But apart from that, it looks like a good schedule.

I hate the retrospective episodes of Little House on the Prairie. :puke: Why not just a marathon of regular episodes?

Good choice of M*A*S*H episodes for a marathon. The "mail" themed episodes were always very well done.

yeahthis pisses me off glad i got whole collection on dvd but i like having something wake up2 n watch with my family im sick of good times n green acers this makes me sick same shows all the time glad littel house finally gone for now

Definitely liking that Cheers will be on twice a day Mon-Fri except on Monday. I just wish they'd stop airing so much Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

That is a TON of sitcoms - yay!

And what is with the "I Love Lucy" overload? I'm certainly not complaining but it looked like that show was thrown to the wolves awhile back and now has an EVENING slot? Awesome!

I am glad that TV Land is airing Cheers at 3:00 pm Central Time and All in The Family at 3:30 pm Central Time

And what is with the "I Love Lucy" overload? I'm certainly not complaining but it looked like that show was thrown to the wolves awhile back and now has an EVENING slot? Awesome!

I was going to say the same thing!....I Love Lucy will now be airing 37 times a week!!! 37 times a week!!!

Weekdays
1:00pm I Love Lucy
1:30pm I Love Lucy
6:00pm I Love Lucy
6:30pm I Love Lucy
5:30am I Love Lucy

Weekends
10:00am I Love Lucy

Half of those are just encores.

can't wait until the day when the good times contract expires

can't wait until the day when the good times contract expiresI agree...and Sanford and Son. At least Three's Company isn't on much anymore.

It'll be interesting to see if this exact schedule happens. I'm skeptical about how DW will do....it's not on much, but if it doesn't do that great I wonder if they'll go through with that prime time marathon.

Not meaning to sound like a wet blanket but here comes a rant.
TV Lands all over the board and constantly changing schedule makes it really hard to record or even watch any good quantity of their shows.It seems like they add and take away shows at the drop of a hat and change their schedules almost on a weekly basis.Can't they just stick to a set schedule for several months at a time?Is that too much to ask considering some of the horrible, non classic shows the have added over the last 5 or 6 years?I just about give up with them.TV Land pay attention!(not that it matters what I think to them).Get some consistency and add SOME of the older 50's and 60's shows.Even if you have to add the older shows to the wee hours of the morning because you are afraid they wont get the ratings from the 25 to 30 year olds you pander to,then fine.At least they can be recorded and watched at a convenient time.What would it hurt to at least do that?Everyones in bed anyway so no matter what you put on in the wee hours of the morning,it won't get ratings anyway.I'm guessing it would cost them too much to get the rights to the older shows.I used to watch TV Land alot but that has greatly diminished over the years.I guess since I'm not 25 years old,I and who they targeted when the first started their channel don't matter to them anymore.Talk about a good channel and concept gone wrong.

It's a pretty good schedule . . . definitely a step up from August and September. Looks like sitcoms are dominating the schedule. I'm really hoping someday TVLand switches entirely to sitcoms. The only shows not sitcoms on the schedule are Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and Star Trek. But, all afternoon, primetime, and latenight is sitcoms.

besides that, as much as i love Lucy, it's on a bit too much. Do we really need 10 airings of it on Saturdays? Instead of the 4 in primetime, we could have gotten The Jeffersons and Three's Company, which aren't in primetime at all. Although, I'm sure after a week or so The Jeffersons will probably replace Designing Women on Monday nights.

Like the idea of 2 hour blocks at 8pm. I don't exactly love the choices of shows, like Good Times and MASH, but it's a good concept. Same thing goes with the afternoon blocks. I'm so excited to get to watch All in the Family and The Jeffersons at reasonable slots.

Overall, for a long post-LOL, most shows on TVland are really getting treated fairly this month. A huge step up, the first time for TVland in a long time-LOL

I agree. And I haven't said this in a long time, but this schedule looks decent. There's a variety of shows running all day long. TVLand has been lacking variety for a LONG time, IMO. It was always the same shows over and over. There might be hope for the future of TVLand, yet.

I hope their schedule stays like this for a while. I would hate to get used to a few shows in their new timeslots (Lucy, All In The Family, Cheers), only for them to screw around with everything again.

1 and a half thumbs up for TVLand! ;)

I see Leave it to Beaver has been reduced to mornings only. I think it'll be back soon enough to afternoons.

I also see LHOTP is gone. Hallelujah! It's been long overdue. We can watch it on Hallmark....

If TV Land were smart, even a little bit they would have replaced I Love Lucy 10pm saturday night airings and 6pm weekday airings with the brady bunch...the link even said Lucy was one of the WORST RATED TV Land shows, and HAVEN NOT improved.

Three's Company and the Jeffersons would have been soooooooooooooooo much better than Good Times and Sanford and Son.

any show is better than good times...

almost any.

It's a decent schedule. I'll probably watch some of it.

TVLand, IMO, is at the point where it really needs a complete overhaul. They need to diversitize their programming. Some of the shows have been in reruns constantly for years it seems, with no signs of taking a break. Six or seven years ago, I felt the same exact way about shows like "The Beverly Hillbillies," "Gilligan's Island," "Mary Tyler Moore," "The Bob Newhart Show," "Bewitched," "I Dream of Jeannie," and the lot, and I said then that if they were to take those shows off for a good couple of years, to be rarely seen on cable TV, whenever they would indeed return to the mainstream, people would be all over them. I can hardly wait for the Hillbillies to come back and that marathon of Bob Newhart the other night was awesome. It's true: with absence, the heart grows a hell of a lot fonder.

Three's Company and the Jeffersons would have been soooooooooooooooo much better than Good Times and Sanford and Son.

Three's Company hasn't been in primetime since last winter, so there's no surprise there . . . I always thought it did pretty well for them, better than GT and SAS. I'm sure The Jeffersons will be back on Monday's replacing DW soon, but I'm pretty happy with the number of airings it's getting. This way, I can still watch WTB on ION at 9pm, and The Jeffersons at 5pm. It all works out for me!

yeah, this is the one schedule of TVLand's in years that I hope stays for awhile to come. Of course, there's no way it's gonna happen. It's just great to see so many shows getting so many decent timeslots, like AITF and Cheers. Plus, we get less westerns, which is always a plus, and a schedule basically filled with sitcoms, which I'm sure we all love here-LOL

TVLand,with the re-acquirization of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Hogan's Heroes",apparently HAS learned the meaning of the old saying "
absence makes the heart grow fonder.BUT BEWARE:When "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family"returned to TVLand after a brief hiatus,they said "The people have spoken",(people wanted these shows back,and they listened),but instead of sticking them in one time slot-AND LEAVING THEM THERE,they've switched these 2 shows first from 4-5 PM(3-4 PM Central)3-4 PM(2-3 PM Central),to 1-2PM(12-1 PM Central)to 2-3PM (1-2 PM Central) to mornings,and on Saturday and Sunday Mornings.I hope it doesn't,but the same thing just might happen to newly acquired shows "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Hogan's Heroes",or the other newly acquired TVLand shows,which they SAY are coming soon.

Alright! Cheers in the afternoon--I'll drink to that!!!:cheers:

I also drink to that

You can count me in-LOL

good timeslot for Cheers, unfortunately for me it will be on against 7th Heaven

We announced the new November schedule the other day, now that schedule will start in October!

So it's still something I'm not gonna watch

yeah, this is the one schedule of TVLand's in years that I hope stays for awhile to come. Of course, there's no way it's gonna happen. It's just great to see so many shows getting so many decent timeslots, like AITF and Cheers.

Check it out; The October schedule is apparently staying through December! I'm shocked. This must be a record for TVLand! :lol:

So it's still something I'm not gonna watch
:lol:

I am looking forward to The I Love Lucy Marathron from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.

Check it out; The October schedule is apparently staying through December! I'm shocked. This must be a record for TVLand! :lol:

I'm expecting a few changes before December. It may be the schedule for now, but not for long . . .

I think TVLand changed the Sept. schedule 5 or 6 times. How simpleminded can you get about a schedule, really?

Interesting how the programming they selected to air over the Thanksgiving weekend has NOTHING to do with the holiday.

Interesting how the programming they selected to air over the Thanksgiving weekend has NOTHING to do with the holiday.You're right;it all about ratings and showing the same half bake farces that I'm way beyound sick and tried of seeing.I might catch the Icons episodes because I miss that,but otherwise:sleep2: .

Schedule change:

Effective Tuesday, November 6, 2007
Tues-Fri
4:00PM Sanford & Son (replaces Cheers)
4:30PM Sanford & Son (replaces All in the Family)

all right Back to back airing of Sanford And Son at 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm Central Time

Schedule change:

Effective Tuesday, November 6, 2007
Tues-Fri
4:00PM Sanford & Son (replaces Cheers)
4:30PM Sanford & Son (replaces All in the Family)

Too bad. Makes me wonder why Cheers and All in the Family, 2 of the most successful TV shows of all time, can't do well on TVland. They always seem to be getting replaced.

Pav, is TV Land going to stop their habit of airing shows off the clock? They just started a DW ep. like 10 mins early. It's very annoying. I swear, they do it just to mess w/ people who are trying to record a show. :mad:

Los Angeles, CA, October 29, 2007 TV Land is celebrating the Broadway opening of Mel Brooks' new musical Young Frankenstein with a series of events on-air, online and off-air. TVLand.com, the network's revamped website, is offering a trip to New York City to see the highly anticipated production and will feature original interviews with the Broadway cast including Megan Mullally, Andrea Martin and more.

With the help of Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle, and Marty Feldman, hilarity ensues as Victor von Frankensteins monster is brought to life.

From the creative team of The Producers, the musical version of Young Frankenstein opens on Broadway November 9 at the Hilton Theatre in New York City.

Talk about overstuffed!!TVLand obviously has NEVER heard of the old saying "Familiarity breeds contempt",because these shows included in TVLand's Overstuffed Thanksgiving Weekend ,(and yes,I know they are classics,and I know there are die-hard fans of the shows,)have been run-and re-run-and rerun ad nauseum practically into the ground.TVLand definitely needs some "new blood",in the way of new classic shows shows from the 1950's and 1960's,some of which are just sitting around in vaults collecting dust.

TV Land will be back on the clock late nights starting November 26. We will get an extra Three's Company at 1:30am.

But,it is to be expected;doing the hoildays,no one plays anything good nor classic.Gutless what it is!

So does this mean LESS Designing Women?

Is that what you want? I could care less about DW on TVland, too. It think we're getting too much of it. But I think it does, because Beverly Hillbillies is taking over it's Monday marathon.

I believe some of those people up there do not belong on that list, or at least so close to #1. For example Homer Simpson. How could he make the list ahead of John Ritter, Ed Sullivan, and others? And, as much as I love Roseanne to death, she does not belong at #11, because is she really the best icon out there?
