I'm glad to see that Alice, WTB? and Drew Carey are staying next month.

Couldn't agree with you more. This is a pretty good lineup with what they've got right now. The only I still hate is The Wayans Bros. on.

The Valentine's Week is also great. Now why couldn't they have done something like that for Christmas, instead of airing all the Christmas episodes spread out over the month?

I'm starting to get the feeling that Who's the Boss and Mama's Family are NEVER leaving - LOL

I love WTB, but I'm shocked it's still on the schedule. Isn't it time for something new? (besides Wayans. Bros?)

I like the idea of WTB? getting a second run but I do agree it's past time for Mama's Family to go for a while.

No qualms about Mama taking a rest, but let's face facts, Mama is still the highest rated show for them, so they aren't going to let go of their cash cow (no offense to Mama intended LOL). Just grateful they kept Alice on--maybe we just might see the whole run. As for The Wayans Bros--PPPPPFFT! They could have gave Perfect Strangers that slot--their treatment of that show was highly unfair. Or any of the older Sony/Warner product!

It definitely it time for Mama to go. You never know . . . they could put a new show in that 8pm timeslot, and it could do better than Mama. But, we'll never know, because it'll never happen.

I wonder why Perfect Strangers left so quickly. Were ratings really that bad? It was the only show on ION to ever leave the lineup in just 2 weeks after premiering.

They should move Alice to 10-11 and see how it does...then add another new show from 7-8. I understand that Mama does so well, so I can see them keeping that....but the ratings aren't that good for WTB?, so why are they keeping it? I love the show, but it's time for something new - they have so many shows to choose from.

They could try that. But Alice is already doing pretty well at 7pm . . . they probably wouldn't tamper with that, although I'd prefer WTB and Alice switch slots. 10pm just seems too late for a show like WTB.

BTW, Pavan, do you have any ratings information from ION? Dying to know how Drew Carey's doing.

Any chance of Perfect Strangers returning?? It was so funny and is is one of my favorite shows!!

I'd really like to see the Jo Marie Peyton episodes.

So 4 episodes a night of Drew Carey? WTB must be doing lousy for them, but it's great to see Drew seems to be doing well.

I guess that's it for Who's the Boss? I don't see it moving to an earlier timeslot . . . I think it already ran its course.

Yes, four episodes a night for eight nights, until Baywach comes.

sorry, but i'm not feeling ION right now. It seems like they like to air stuff from the late 80's - ealry 90's. It's cool and all, but whatever happened to Perfect Strangers, Silver Spoons, Bosom Buddies, Out of this World, Diff'rent Strokes, Gimme a Break, Webster, Facts of Life, Charles in Charge and all the other classic 80's sitcoms?

The only real channel's taking a chance on these classic's are local cable TV networks and RTN...

sigh :confused:
