They don't even squeeze in a 4 a.m. DWomen or anything else for that matter. It's all Fresh Prince overnight, 4 weeks in a row. Not to mention that they play it twice or more during Prime Time. Why are they doing this? Is this permanent? Why don't they just cancel Home Improvement and George Lopez and make it ALL Fresh Prince? I'm sick of it. I hate Nick at Nite!! Sorry to b. about it but I'd say the same regardless of what show it was they were beating like a dead horse. Enough already. There are HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of tv shows out there. Thousands even. They act like Fresh F. of Bellaire is "all that" and maybe a couple of others and that's it. I wish that lousy network would get their s. together. Sister station MTV is no better with their "America's Next Top Model" crapathon for like 15 hours in a row every weekend.

This topic is like beating a dead horse...

N@N is The Fresh Prince Network.

I've pretty much given up on Nick at Nite. It used to be such a great channel that I would always have on at night. Heck, sometimes I'd put a blank tape in, record the whole night and watch it during the day, too (however, I don't have those tapes today. I didn't know).

I've moved on to DVDs. I have a large collection of TV shows on DVD. I currently don't even have my cable hooked up. I only do when USA airs new episodes of "Monk."

I miss the days of the old shows on Nick at Nite. However, what I miss even more is their variety.

There are three episodes on NOGGIN right now. :puke:

I hope George Lopez gets this treatment someday-lol

I want to be surprised... but I'm just not.

Same here. ohno:

Same here. ohno:
And here. omg:

At least George Lopez is still on in the 10PM hour. :D

It is absolutely ridiculous.

The only way to save N@N is if somebody from this board gets a high ranked job there and changes it themselves...

LOL!

Is The Fresh Prince THE highest rated show Nick at Nite has ever had?

LOL!

It should be because they never show anything else!! :eek: :mad:

I swear, there is no possible way every airing of this show can be highly rated. There's only 6 seasons of it, and it's been airing about 12 times each night for the past 4 weeks. There is no way people can still be entertained from this. It's just impossible.

Makes me wonder why shows like Cosby and Roseanne, both way more highly rated than FP in their original runs, aren't even on the network.

thank you for pointing that out. A lot of younger people are led to believe that Fresh Prince was this Cosby sized blockbuster in it's original airing and it wasn't, I remember not long ago arguing with a younger poster here who said there was no way in hell that Designing Women (which failed on N@N, tho is doing okay on TV Land, ran for 7 seasons and was top 10 for two years) was a bigger ratings hit in the 90's than Fresh Prince, when it was in fact the way it was.

Granted, I don't believe ratings make shows good or bad, but I honestly wonder if Will Smith didn't become a huge movie star, if Fresh Prince would be all that much bigger in present-day reruns than Blossom, Evening Shade or Major Dad, three shows that were reasonable hits (I know Major Dad went #11 one season) in their original runs in the early 90's but now are nowhere to be found.

Yes, Fresh Prince was only a top 20 show for 2 seasons. I think the highest it reached was #14 during it's third season. But, by it's sixth season, it wasn't even in the top 50 anymore, whereas Cosby and Roseanne (with the exception of Roseanne's ninth season, of course) were always top 20 shows. Both have never been out of syndication since they got off the air, becoming huge hits on stations like TBS, WGN, and local syndication before coming on NAN. Fresh Prince, on the other hand, I believe was never much of a hit in syndication, and was on TBS briefly before coming to NAN (and coming back to TBS), but is now something of a god to the people at NAN. It makes no sense.

I know people here before have said it does well because it appeals to a younger audience who are just discovering the show now. Still, what kids are up at 4am watching FP? Plus, even kids don't watch 1 show for 4 hours every night. It makes no sense.

I know N@N gives the preferential timeslots (before midnight) to the higher-rated shows, but why do they need to waste the 12-6 am slot with 100 episodes of Fresh Prince? Why not give Growing Pains, Murphy Brown, Mad About You, A Different World and other shows a fair shake in those hours of night? I mean, 2:30 AM isn't exactly a coveted timeslot, so why not go ahead and air those shows then instead of airing two seasons' worth of Fresh Prince episodes in a week? If you have 18 half hours of programming to fill a night, fill the first nine with the coveted shows that get the good ratings, and the other nine with the also-ran shows, because there are people out there who like those shows as well.

Personally, it would be a good thing that Cosby and Roseanne are gone (because both of those shows definately ran their course on N@N) if Nick was more generous to every show they have the rights to instead of treating everything else like garbage that isn't Fresh Prince. Hopefully in a year or so, FP will be getting the same treatment Roseanne and Cosby are getting now, because it seemed like they started getting "downgraded" around the time they reached the 3 1/2 year mark, it's been about 3 years since FP came on, so fingers crossed that in six months, it'll be shoved aside to a measly 3:30 AM slot before disappearing.

Cosby is too old for N@N, that's why it's moving to TV Land I believe (plus the ratings had been going down). They're focusing on 1990s shows now it seems.. same goes for Growing Pains. It was too old when it came in the first place.

Mad About You, Murphy Brown, and Designing Women don't really fit the N@N focus anymore, do they? The focus is families/family shows now, so that's probably why those aren't on. Same goes for Newsradio I guess.

As for ADW, I have no idea. It would fit with FH, FPOBA, etc. quite well.

Makes me wonder why they even renewed Roseanne in the first place. They pretty much wasted their money, because the show is nowhere to be found on the lineup.

I'd love to see A Different World, Mad About You, Growing Pains, and Murphy Brown all on at reasonable times. All of these shows were higher rated than Fresh Prince, yet they're nowhere to be found. They sould air other shows past 2am. God, I'd rather see 9pm-2am with nothing but Fresh Prince, and then 2am-6am filled with a variety of the shows NAN actually has the rights to air. I'd be in heaven if NAN ever decided to do that, but I no it won't be happening anytime soon . . .

Sure, Roseanne and Cosby have ran their course, but so has Fresh Prince, and it stil is running it's course. It really makes me wonder what people see in this show to give it the ratings it gets. It's DVD sales aren't so hot, it isn't doing this well on any other network, and Will Smith hasn't been in a decent movie in years. The show itself isn't even the best . . . Roseanne and Cosby are double the quiality FP is.

It should be because they never show anything else!! :eek: :mad:

talking about Cosby and Growing Pains being "too old" for N@N makes me feel "too old", haha. I remember when Nick showed Donna Reed, Dennis The Menace and The Patty Duke Show, all of which were older in 1988 than Cosby and Growing Pains are now

agree totally. I just don't understand what's so special about Fresh Prince. If you would ask me in 1992 what current shows would be played to death in 15 years in reruns, it wouldn't have been one of the first shows I would've name dropped

I swear, there is no possible way every airing of this show can be highly rated. There's only 6 seasons of it, and it's been airing about 12 times each night for the past 4 weeks. There is no way people can still be entertained from this. It's just impossible.

Fresh Prince reruns have desirable demographics to advertisers? They probably get higher ratings than anything on Fox News :lol:

Growing Pains hasn't really done well in syndication in recent years. It would probably do well if Kirk Cameron was a big star.

It should be because they never show anything else!! :eek: :mad:
:lol: That's it in a nutshell.

It's disgusting the way they air The Stale Prince of Bel-Air nonstop. I don't even watch Nick anymore.

I wish they'd put them back on.

Growing Pains hasn't really done well in syndication in recent years. It would probably do well if Kirk Cameron was a big star.
I do notice that when channels do air the show, they place heavy emphasis on the last season because of Leonardo DiCaprio, Disney did it, Nick did it in the premiere week (basically the only week they aired it)

There is nothing special about FP. Will Smith hasn't been in a hit movie on years, the show can't sell on DVD, yet NAN treats like it's something holy or something. It's impossible to understand.

If you asked me 1992, this show would be on the bottom of my list for being reran to death. Sure, it was popular amongst the young audience back then, but you'd never think it would be doing as well as it is (ONLY ON ONE NETWORK).

I loved Fresh Prince, especially when I was younger, but I can't appreciate it as much anymore and I sure as hell have stopped appreciating N@N a long time ago for airing it because they have taken all the fun out of the rerun experience. I mean, seriously, there are other shows in the vault that deserve airtime.

Actually Will's last hit movie was IN PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, a critically acclaimed movie and I believe his best work since Ali.

Since it's such a HIT on N@N seasons 5 and 6 should be on DVD.


I WANT SEASON 5 and 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growing Pains hasn't really done well in syndication in recent years. It would probably do well if Kirk Cameron was a big star.
It was on ABCFAMILY for 3 or 4 years, and stayed in the same timeslot for pretty much the entire time they had the rights to the show.

Nick at Nite's current audience just don't appreciate good shows.

Since it's such a HIT on N@N seasons 5 and 6 should be on DVD.


I WANT SEASON 5 and 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully those last 2 seasons come out on DVD soon....Then maybe people will watch their DVD's and NOT watch it on Nick at Nite, making their ratings fall, so we can all finally say BYE to the Banks family!

Season 4 sold poorly. That's why I wonder why it does so well on NAN.

Unless people just watch it so much on NAN, or they know NAN will rerun it to the ground FOREVER, so they don't bother with the DVD's. I seriously believe NAN will be the highest rated show on NAN for many, many years to come. NAN is nothing without FP.

Still, no reason for any show to be played out the way FP is. :crazy: :lol:

That's probably it; People just shrug when they see Fresh Prince DVD's, knowing they can go home and watch it every damn night from 9pm until 6am! (Though I do wonder because Friends, Full House, Roseanne, Seinfeld, etc are constantly played out but still do well with DVD sales...)

Oh, and don't worry, I have a feeling Nick at Nite will be known as the Urkel network in a few months.

Didn't you guys hear? Nick at Nite is changing its name to NVW.

NO VARIETY WHATSOEVER!! :rolleyes:

My first post on THIS THREAD said this topic was like beating a dead horse, but here we are yakking away...:lol: Goes to show, we are sick and tired of FP and we are so angry abt how much it airs, we need to vent!:mad: :crazy: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

FP still airs here locally. And it still airs on TBS, I think. There is no reason why any show should air on more than one cable station. None at all. ohno:

To be honest, I'm surprised N@N hasn't run Home Improvement into the ground. Maybe that will be next. :rolleyes:

Yes, FP airs on one of our local stations as well. I think it airs on our CW affiliate weekday mornings. I'm always at work then, so I'm not totally sure.

I'll watch the first 4 or so seasons of Home Improvement anytime!! I lost interest in it once there was more focus on the growing boys and they spent all their free time at that hardware store. ANYTHING would be an improvement over FP at this point.

SICK and TIRED is right....And I hardly even watch the channel! LOL

Venting is healthy Irene. And venting our frustrations in a new thread every week about the same thing might seem a little much anywhere else, but not here at SO. :)

Just think, when the day comes that Nick at Nite actually stops airing the show, we'll have nothing to bitch about anymore! (Well we're always bitching about something here, LOL, but the new topic probably won't generate such disgust as The Fresh Prince on Nick at Nite has. Enjoy it while it last's....even if it last's every damn night until 2016).

Those were more successful than Fresh Prince when they were on. N@N is the only channel that overplays Fresh Prince.

:lol: I laugh because that sounds so true. Don't forget, Noggin also airs FP to the ground. What other stations air this crap?

Only TBS and some local stations, but only once or twice a day at the most.

It's funny because after FP went off the air, it never did that well in locals. But now it seems to be all over the place. my local MNTV airs the show at like 2am I believe, but over the summer, they were airing like 4 times a day in the afternoon.

There's no reason at all for this show to so popular. Full House and Roseanne have run there course, and I applaud for not letting them still air all night, every night. But, they could at least bring those 3 shows back for more variety. I mean, come on, serously, the same 3 shows all night long? They can do better.

I wonder if Will Smith is a stockholder for Nick or something and he gave them conditions that FP airs a minimum of 10 times a night

You know it's bad when we're asking for shows to come back that have already also been rerun into the ground.

No, people said the same thing about Bill Cosby when the Cosby received the same treatment

I like Cosby Show, Roseanne and I know there are other shows people want to see. It is called giving other shows a fair chance. N@N brings on shows for a "little bit" and then yanks them off or puts them at odd hours. We don't need six episodes of FP. You can put it on ONCE and give the five time slots to other shows.

I think another reason people are ticked off by so much Fresh Prince, is because we were all expecting Home Improvement to come to N@N and become a big hit. Thus, it would cut down the number of Fresh Prince's airings. Yet, here we are. Home Improvement (and George Lopez) are on N@N and Fresh Prince is still the show that gets overplayed.

Maybe it didn't do well near you...It's spent about 8 or 10 years on my local WB station (the early 1990's-2004). I can care less that it was on one of my locals for so long, because they only aired it ONCE a day.

Seems to me that Home Improvement and George Lopez replaced Roseanne, Cosby, and to some extent, Full House - not FPoBA like most of us were expecting. I still don't understand what happened to Roseanne.

6 episodes of FP? Aren't you being too nice? It airs 10 episodes every weeknight, and 8 episodes every weekend. I'd call it quits at 4, but NAN has to go overboard. Let's just hope this nonsense stops once sweeps month is over.

They have A Differerent World, Mad About You, Growing Pains, Murphy Brown, Designing Women, Newsradio, AFV, Cosby Show, and Roseanne sitting around collecting dust. Why not air at least some of them once in awhile?

Home Improvement and George Lopez are getting played the exact amount of times a night they should be for a new show. For times, 2 in primetime, 2 in overnight is perfectly normal for gaining attention to a show. But FP has had all the attention it deserves, and is still the network's blockbuster show.

Here, back when WATL aired it, it aired either once or twice a day. WTBS/WPCH has aired it twice a day at one point, and now WPCH airs it once daily. That is enough. Once or twice is reasonable. This is what I hate about Viacom-owned networks. They take the idea of the marathon and just run with it. It just goes too far.

You'll never guess what show's getting a marathon on TBS on Thanksgiving :D

First marathons on NAN, then marathons on The N, now TBS? Will the Fresh Prince saga never end!?!?!?

Thanks for the good news, now maybe I can see if they edited the ep with Jaleel White like N@N did. I know TBS usually have better cuts than N@N

Nick @ Nite Is Giving Home Improvement The Same Amount Of timeslots That They Gave Full House When It First Came To Nick @ Nite.
And One Of These Days Nick @ Nite Is going to Have To Give Up On The Fresh Prince.
It Seems Like Years Ago We Wanted The Cosby Show Ansd Roseanne Off Because Nick @ Nite They Were Playing It Too Much,Now In 2007 They Are Hardly Being Aired And We Want Them Back In A Prime time slot.

Will someone please slap some sense to whoever's in charge of programming at Numbskulls@Nite and fire the idiot who has no brains whatsoever? FIVE weeks now of Fresh Prince overnight!! {{{scream!}}}

LOL, I'm also getting sick of turning on N@N only to see yet another episode of Fresh Prince on. I used to kind of like the show, but now it's just annoying. Playing something to death like that can turn you off and make you not want to watch anymore. I remember the good ol' days when N@N was playing The Dick Van Dyke Show, Get Smart, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart...just to name a few. I could watch it all night long because no one show was played more than once or twice. They seriously need to give the other shows a chance. There are plenty out there to revive!

They're are so many highly rated shows that fit that fit their genre . . . infact, they have rights to most of them. Roseanne, Cosby, AFV, A Different World, Growing Pains, Mad About You, Designing Women, NewsRadio, and Murphy Brown are all not airing. How badly can all 9 of those shows possibly do? All of them were more highly rated than Fresh Prince, so why does Fresh Prince continuously air 10 times a night?

The Cosby Show And Roseanne Were In The Top 5 For Their First Six Seasons,where The Fresh Prince Reached The Top 20 For Only 1 Season Before Dropping Out Of The Top 30,So you would Think Cosby And Roseanne Would Be On More.
And Also I Think It Time Nick @ Nite Get Ride Of The Cosby Show And Let Tv Land Have It Full Time Because It Really Doesn't Fit With All The Recent shows Except For Roseanne.

Exactly. The Cosby Show was the biggest show of the 80's, and Roseanne was one of the biggest show of the 90's. Fresh Prince got only so-so ratings it's entire run, and never did well in syndication, yet now for some reason, it is. It makes no sense.

I don't think Cosby was doing too well on TV Land. Is it even airing there at all? I know it was airing in those primetime blocks, but was replaced by Designing Women.

I was wondering about TCS too. The ratings apparently weren't that great, I think that's because the show was sort of on and off, it never got a proper launch or proper air times like the other N@N 'hand me downs' did.


If you ask me, they should just put Growing Pains, ADW, Roseanne and AFV on TV Land too. You bought them, why not get your money's worth at least.

Everyone should know that just because a show did well during it's original run doesn't mean it will in syndication. What does Network Airings have to do with Syndication? In syndication the show maybe seen by people who think a show is DULL so I don't think you can ever think just because a show did well on Network airings it will automically do well in reruns. Other Shows that were HITS in it's original run and not in reruns

The Difference Is Roseanne And Cosby Have Always Done well In Sydnication Ane At One Time Were The Highest Rate Shows On Nick @ Nite Which Make No Sense To Why Nick @ Nite Not Ever Showing Them.

Well maybe they STOPPED doing well in syndication, ever thought about that?-lol N@N has to stick to what's working for them and right now it's TFP. Now that may not be the case 2 years for now but as of right now the FP is making N@N's numbers look right

It does make sense. I think the Nick at Nite audience grew tired of watching The Cosby Show and Roseanne every night, at the same time.

I'm sure if both shows moved to different networks (and aired at different times of the day), they would be able to find a new audience, and become hits in syndication again.

ABCFAMILY needs to put their shows on during the night. ;)

You Are Right Acually,At One Time Cosby Was On To Much And I Got Tired So I Taped Over It With Other Shows.

Maybe since The Cosby Show and Roseanne aren't really on anymore, people will miss them, and some other channel will pick them up and they'll become hits in syndication again.

Will someone please slap some sense to whoever's in charge of programming at Numbskulls@Nite and fire the idiot who has no brains whatsoever? FIVE weeks now of Fresh Prince overnight!! {{{scream!}}}

It's either Fresh Prince or infomercials

You'll never guess what show's getting a marathon on TBS on Thanksgiving :D

First marathons on NAN, then marathons on The N, now TBS? Will the Fresh Prince saga never end!?!?!?
Whaaaat!!??!!

I really thought I seen it all. The amount of airings this show has been getting is actually starting to be funny now.

The Cosby Show And Roseanne Were In The Top 5 For Their First Six Seasons,where The Fresh Prince Reached The Top 20 For Only 1 Season Before Dropping Out Of The Top 30,So you would Think Cosby And Roseanne Would Be On More.
And Also I Think It Time Nick @ Nite Get Ride Of The Cosby Show And Let Tv Land Have It Full Time Because It Really Doesn't Fit With All The Recent shows Except For Roseanne.

There are always exceptions. The Brady Bunch did awful on network TV, but once it went into syndication, that's where it won most of it's popularity. A show doesn't necessarily have to get great ratings during its initial run in order for it to be remembered and popular.

But Roseanne and Cosby both got great initial ratings, and did great on cable and syndication afterwards. That's why it doesn't make sense for them to be bombing on Nick at Nite now, while Fresh Prince is god over at that channel.

But just like on network TV, a show doesn't pull in good numbers forever, at some point it will change and that's the case with roseanne and the cosby show. They were doing good on N@N in 2004/2005 but not in 2007 because things have changed like the New acquistion of FP in 2006. Now the same thing may happen to FP when N@N picks up family matters in 2008 and Fresh prince may start falling in the ratings while FM is the new HOT show on the network.

Solomon, The Fresh Prince was a new acquisition to Nick at Nite in 2004, not 2006.

And I hope Family Matters becomes the new "HOT show on the network." It's one of my all time favorite sitcoms! :D

Over here in Sweden, Fresh Prince only gets four airings a week. It used to be twice a day five days a week, but that was it. I don't know why N@N airs this show to death. It's good and all, but yes, there are other shows too.

That's true. Though it feels like Home Improvement has been there forever....

What are your thoughts on Family Matters coming to Nick at Nite? Is it too "cheesy" of a show for you to watch daily?

No I will watch, FM defintely will be in that 9pm slot. I can't see it being on later than 10:30pm

I'd have to disagree. When Fresh Prince came, Roseanne and Cosby were still the top rated shows for 2 more years. I remember in 2006, there was a time when Roseanne was airing 3 times in a row in primetime. Then around the summer of 2006, Fresh Prince started taking over and dominated the entire lineup, which it still does today.

But, the point is, Roseanne and Cosby were never airing as much as Fresh Prince was in one night. They never aired during the entire latenight schedule every single night. That's just insane.

No I will watch, FM defintely will be in that 9pm slot. I can't see it being on later than 10:30pm

Yeah, I could see it taking over Full House maybe at 8:30, and definitely Home Improvement at 9pm. Family Matters is just like Full House - it won't do well later than 11pm.

in all honesty, as bad as FP is now, I have a feeling Friends will be even worse in a couple years when it comes to Nick. Except unlike FP, Friends was a huge hit throughout it's entire run that it makes a little more sense why it'd be whored out in reruns

Is Friends even still coming? Since Nick at Nite pretty much changed completely to family viewing, Friends is the complete opposite of family entertainment. If they want this to be a hit, they should air it between Full House and Family Matters-LOL

well, Friends was nominated for a ton of Kids Choice Awards back when it was on, so apparently in Nick's eyes, it's a family show, haha.

Friends isn't coming for three or four more years anyways, and with the money Nick spent on it, I'm sure it'll air. A lot changes in 3-4 years

But still, NAN went all out in changing their image from classics of all eras to modern-family-classics. Adding Friends will change that whole image. Unless they air their family shows from 9pm-12am, and Friends the rest of the night . . . but that's still 3 yeas away.

I'm really looking forward to Family Matters coming, and that's only a few months away. I'm guessing by that time, Roseanne and Cosby will be entirely gone for good, because they'll have FOUR shows to air then, and that's just way too many to fit into one night-LOL

well, we're talking a network that went from The Brady Bunch, I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days and Gilligan's Island to Cheers, Roseanne, The Cosby Show and Full House in three years time. If N@N could change that much between 2000-2003, finding a place for Friends in their current roster isn't going to be that much of a stretch.

that change was the one I was talking about . . . they went from sitcoms of all eras to modern classic family sitcoms, with the acquisition of Full House and Roseanne in 2003 with the Cosby Show, and Who's the Boss and Fresh Prince in 2005. Of course, WTB didn't stick around, but to this day, they are still family sitcoms and they seem to be stuck on that.

Plus, I'm not even sure if Friends will do that well on NAN. It seems like a show that does better in syndication and on bigger networks like TBS, then on latenight-only networks like NAN.

I don't think Nick's so much switched to family programming as much as family shows are what's doing well for them. They kept Three's Company until 2006 because it got good ratings for them and nobody argues that's a family show. Even Roseanne for the most part was about a family, but was for the most part *not* a "family show", especially as the show progressed and Roseanne took more creative control.

Roseanne, Cosby and Full House ran their courses on N@N and Fresh Prince will do the same soon enough (not soon enough tho it seems). Nick makes due with what they can get. I read they weren't able to afford either Seinfeld or Everybody Loves Raymond because they put so many millions down to acquire Friends in 2010/2011, so I am sure when Friends comes to N@N, Nick will completely change everything to make way for that the way they did for Cosby, Roseanne and Fresh Prince

I really don't think it matters much. I enjoy NAN being about family programming. You're right . . . that's what does well for them. They tried shows like Murphy Brown, Designing Women, Mad About You, and A Different World . . . none of them did well, yet the family sitcoms did. Three's Company didn't stay on until 2006, though. It left in 2003, and came back in 2006 to replace the Different World summer marathon block, which NAN borrowed only for those 2 weeks. They also borrowed The Jeffersons for the same reasons.

You know, Full House, Roseanne, and Cosby have ran their courses, but so has Fresh Prince. It's airing more than any of the other 3 shows were at 1 time right now. Roseanne was airing a lot, but it wasn't airing 10 times a night (I'm not exaggerating.) Cosby ran it's course, but it was only airing 5 times a night tops. Same with Full House.

I think if they paid that much for Friendsd, that was the biggest mistake they ever could have made. There are so many other shows out there that are way better quality than Friends is, yet cost half if not less the price of it. And what if the show bombs? It'll put NAN out millions and millions of dollars.

I am sure FP has it fans, however, you are right and everyone seems to believe that FP doesn't need to be aired a bajillion times a night or even during the week. Maybe ONE episode a night is good and then show us some other shows.

Solomon, you say that FP works for N@N, which is why they continue to air it, however, N@N seems to think they need to air it 10 times a night when ONE TIME A NIGHT IS SUFFICIENT. I think the ratings are high for FP BECAUSE IF YOU AIR FP 10 TIMES A NIGHT PEOPLE ARE BOUND TO WATCH IT SIMPLY AS A HABIT OR THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO WATCH. The people watching it are only watching it simply out of boredom. They have no other options. N@N is confusing themselves.:crazy:

I've never heard of anyone who enjoyed Family Matters, but not Full House or Step By Step...

I still say, when Friends comes, it will probably start on N@N then be on TV Land eventually, since they aren't classic TV anymore. Same for The Nanny, which is sort of like MB, MAY, DW, etc. I'd bet $ $ $ $ $ that The Nanny will go to TV Land instead of N@N.

BTW, what the heck ever happened to NewsRadio? Might as well send it to TV Land too.

I can't believe this thread is still going, either. Usually, a person makes a Fresh Prince thread once in awhile, we all post on saying how much we hate it, and move on. This one's gotta be a new record for us, huh?

Irene, you put it great when you said it doesn't need to air 10 times a night. I could even manage seeing it 3 or 4 times a night . . . that should be enough to get them the money they want. Airing it 10 times is definitely a sign insanity-LOL. The only people who actually watch FP all 10 times a night are the ones who forget to turn their TV's off when they go to bed.

Just a bit of an update - Cosby (80s) is apparently coming to TV Land in the middle of next year, according to their boards. It's unknown if it will surface before then. Apparently TVL has gotten a new contract.

So no need to worry about TCS on N@N anymore I guess.

I thought TVLand already had rights to TCS, but just wasn't airing it. The last time it was airing was just a month ago

According to TheLink, it was 'on loan' from N@N but they're getting their own contract. The post is on the Ask TheLink board somewhere.

i cant ever remember a classic tv show being on as much as the fresh prince show.

I remember back in the day (mid to late 80s and most of the 90s) Nick at Nite only aired their shows once (twice a night, but the second was a repeat of the same episode earlier that night). It wasn't until "Happy Days" I believe that they started showing hour blocks of most of their new shows. Then "Cheers" came on and became a hit, then The Cosby Show really started taking over N@N, then Roseanne. And now Fresh Prince. But I believe that Fresh Prince is being shown more than any of the other shows I mentioned.

Also, "I Love Lucy" was big in the mid to late 90s. They didn't air it all night long. Every Saturday, they had "Lucy" night, and aired a couple episodes of the show followed by "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour." And then back to their regular lineup. They didn't run it into the ground.

I miss Classic Nick at Nite. I really do. All their funny commercials and their shows that were different and not all the same show over and over again.

I'd also like to say that I like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." But I don't like all these airings of it. I plan to buy the last two seasons if they ever come out, but I refuse to watch it on television anymore.

It's a good way to put it with I Love Lucy. The show did very well for them, but just because it did, it wasn't airing a thousand a times a night.

The Cosby Show was popular, but the thing people don't get is that it wasn't airing nearly as much as Fresh Prince is. The most it was airing on a regular schedule was around 2002 with 5 episodes a night - 2 in primetime, 3 in latenight. The most Roseanne was airing on a regular schedule was back in 2006 with 6 episodes a night - 3 in primetime, 3 in latenight. But Fresh Prince is airing 10 times a night, and that's just insane.

I like the Fresh Prince as much as the next person,but you gotta admit this is really beyond ridiculous

Well, with Friends, Scrubs and all that "new" stuff coming to TVland, there won't be classic tv channels anymore. So, FP may well be next on TVland. :rolleyes: :mad:

BTW, I too have 2 Nickelodeon channels. It is on two different tiers, so depending what package you get, you can always be assured you get one of those Nick channels. Unfortunately, I get both and all it is, is the same channel airing the same schedule. It is like having two CBS channels.

Is it the same episodes airing at the same time on different channels, or is it different episodes airing on the different channels?

I have the same package, with Nick and NickToo, except I believe NickToo is the same schedule as Nick, just 3 hours later.

When I had DirecTV we got Nick East and Nick West.....same thing, except Nick West was three hours later. It was nice waking up in the morning and watching the graveyard shows like WTB?, etc at 7AM.

Exactly . . . that's how I used to watch Murphy Brown when it was on. It would air at 5am, but I could catch it at 8pm. I wonder if both networks are combined or seperate in terms of ratings.

That's what I assumed when I first seen that on my schedule/grid. But when I checked both channels, they aired the very same thing. If Spongebob was airing on one, it was showing the same damn thing on the other channel. This reminds me, I really need to complain to Time Warner because I have many channels that are double and it only takes up space on my grid and not to mention it is annoying when scanning the guide and you see duplicate information. :rolleyes:
