FAMILY MATTERS LAUNCH IS POSTPONED!!!!!!!!
- Family Matters Marathon
More info coming soon...such as times and episodes for the marathon
About the show: Jo Marie Payton-France plays Harriet Winslow, the hilarious elevator operator Harriet from "Perfect Strangers," stars in her own series which focuses on her home life with her police officer husband Carl (Reginald VelJohnson, "Die Hard") and her three precocious kids (Eddie, Laura and Judy). Neighborhood kid, Steve Urkel, with his nerdy glasses and voice, became an instant national sensation (Entertainment Weekly calls him "our most underappreciated comic genius"). Telma Hopkins ("Gimme a Break," "Bosom Buddies") co-stars as Rachel, Harriet's sister. This series is a tremendous TVQ success, ranking among primetime television's top comedies (with Jaleel White as Steve Urkel among the top primetime male performers). The #1 program in ABC's highly successful T.G.I.F. line-up. From the producers of "Step by Step," "Full House" and "Perfect Strangers.
if more stunts, coming soon...
Pavan 03-22-2008, 01:32 PM This is all not 100% certain yet, but it is likely. The launch date for Family Matters can still change I hear. Once I hear something, I will confirm all this and the blog story will be done. Hopefully this coming week.
If you're posting this elsewhere on the internet, please just link this thread in case the schedule changes a bit. We don't want anyone confused.
Tubehead 03-22-2008, 01:48 PM I heard its not coming unilt June. I hope it is in april. that would be awesome!!
Pavan 03-22-2008, 04:34 PM We are the ones who reported it was coming to June a few months ago but now we are reporting it is in April:
http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2008/03/family-matters-now-coming-to-nick-at.html
JulieSomoski 03-22-2008, 05:34 PM Family Matters fits best at 9pm . . . it'll make a nice transition show. It's good to see though that just because they moved Home Improvement it's not off the lineup . . . something they would have done a year ago.
It seems like they'er trying to add in variety. Adding a regular fourth show will help, but I don't see the point of fitting in Roseanne, Cosby, Full House, and the other shows at 5am on weeknights. Why not just have Cosby at 5am and Roseanne at 5:30, to make it easier?
I gotta say, though, this is the best schedule I've seen from Nick at Nite in at least a year. It's more variety than we've seen in a long time . . . GREAT JOB!!
TVFactFan 03-22-2008, 06:24 PM This is the BEST 9pm to 11pm Slot on N@N since 2000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is be a great season for watching N@N
I am HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FrankCostanza 03-22-2008, 06:58 PM An excellent lineup indeed. I don't like George Lopez, but I can tolerate Home Improvement. I love FP, but it had had its time. It's time for some Urkel!!!
I will be running 2 VCRs to get both eps that air every night. One at my apartment at school and one at my house back home. I like the times for FM because I am always up later on Friday and Saturday nights.

I used to record FM all the time in college but over the years I lost the tapes
benjamoon 03-23-2008, 12:22 AM "Home Improvement" has really underperformed for N@N hasn't it? I mean, I know it hasn't been a flat out bomb, but it seemed like it was so highly hyped, and now it's not even in the 9-12 time frame
Scoobiedoo30 03-25-2008, 09:09 PM Family Guy will be a great Edition to Nick@Nite Line Up.
Pavan 03-25-2008, 10:48 PM Family Guy is not coming to Nick at Nite, Aaron.
Buffyboy323 03-25-2008, 10:51 PM Family Guy is not coming to Nick at Nite, Aaron.
LOL!
Pav, do you know if the 4am Family Matters episodes are encores of the 9pm ones?
MikeLutton 03-25-2008, 11:02 PM when is the fm marathon going to happen i think u said it was bumped up again
Pavan 03-25-2008, 11:13 PM I don't have details yet of the Family Matters marathon. It will either be Sunday, April 20 or a week-long stunt...or you never know with this channel, could be another date.
They haven't scheduled any Family Matters episodes, so I'm not sure if the 4am airings will be repeats of 9pm, but the only show they seem to repeat in the late night is George Lopez (Home Improvement and Fresh Prince don't seem to).
Scoobiedoo30 03-26-2008, 07:17 PM oh My Bad I meant Family Matters.

Seriously, though, why can't they air the marathon all night, and maybe include some Cosby and Roseanne episodes at 3am? I can think of a great Cosby episode that was all about pranks . . .
TVFactFan 03-27-2008, 06:29 PM Pav I don't recall seeing that prank ep of George Lopez that was shown in the promos
Brent88 03-27-2008, 07:03 PM Wow, what do you know. It doesn't look like a marathon to me. It looks like THE NORMAL SCHEDULE!

I wish I was excited for FM, but it'll probably get moved or something after a few weeks. :rolleyes:

Like Home Improvement did. I know what you mean . . . unless it does actually do well. Since people can't watch it on ABC Family now, they might head over to NAN and watch it.
Pavan 04-03-2008, 03:00 PM Family Matters will not be launching in April now. More details to come in the blog either today or tomorrow.

WHY??????? What the hell do they have against Family Matters?
They act like they're scared it's not going to do well or something. Why do they keep moving it around??
Pavan 04-03-2008, 04:17 PM Here is the blog story on Family Matters:

JulieSomoski 04-03-2008, 04:59 PM They act like they're scared it's not going to do well or something. Why do they keep moving it around??
I know . . . I don't really see how launching it in April could be any different than launching it in June. If people want to watch it, it shouldn't matter in what month it launches.
TVFactFan 04-03-2008, 06:49 PM Why because Home Improvement is suddenly starting to perform well at the last minute and N@N said let's stick with it? Bullsh*T
Pavan 04-03-2008, 08:02 PM I knew something about April was wrong...even though they aired a promo stating it, I knew it would not be in April. I betcha it will be in June.

I guess Home Improvement was #11 since it's sticking around after 4/21/08-lol
Pavan 04-07-2008, 04:44 PM Home Improvement did not air between 8-11pm on Friday. It has never been in the top 10 for its 9-10pm airings.
JulieSomoski 04-07-2008, 04:48 PM Home Improvement did not air between 8-11pm on Friday. It has never been in the top 10 for its 9-10pm airings.
Do you know exactly what Home Improvement has been doing at 9pm? It can't be that bad if NAN would rather that than Family Matters.
Pavan 04-07-2008, 04:49 PM Home Improvement is improving each month, but it is no where near the ratings of George Lopez. The decision of Family Matters not airing this month has nothing to do with Home Improvement.
See the 1st Quarter report for Nick at Nite:

But I'm thinking if it Home Improvement wasn't improving each month then N@N would probably would have went ahead and added something fresh. JMO
Pavan 04-07-2008, 07:35 PM I think they want to promote Family Matters more. April is not a good month to launch anything. June (if it is even June) is more of a better month, especially for cable.

JulieSomoski 04-21-2008, 05:13 PM On NAN's online schedule, they're currently showing Family Matters airing on Sunday, May 4th at 2am and 2:30am. It's nowhere else on the schedule . . . just that slot, on that night.
Pavan 04-21-2008, 05:22 PM That is wrong....probably May is not updated from the last schedule update.
Pavan 04-22-2008, 01:41 PM Minor Changes:

3-4am The Cosby Show (replaces Full House)
4-6am Roseanne (replaces Full House)
Saturday nights effective April 26:
3-6am Roseanne (replaces Full House)
Confused? Here is the late night schedule (AKA after HI/George/Fresh) for each day:
Mondays:
3-4am Cosby Show
4-5:30am Roseanne
5:30am Rotator
Tuesdays
3-6am Roseanne
Wednesdays
3-4am The Cosby Show
4-6am Roseanne

I wish N@N would just get rid of Roseanne and Full House
noveel 04-23-2008, 01:04 AM Suddenly they seem to like Roseanne again.

Pavan 04-24-2008, 04:07 PM Fridays
4-5am The Cosby Show
5-6am Full House
Full House is now gone, Roseanne will air 5-6am on Friday nights instead now.
MikeLutton 04-24-2008, 04:20 PM is full house gone for good now i sure hope so
TVFactFan 04-24-2008, 07:02 PM Full House is now gone, Roseanne will air 5-6am on Friday nights instead now.
Now I'm waiting for Roseanne to be gone
JulieSomoski 04-26-2008, 01:25 PM Full House never could do well in latenight. Suddenly, Roseanne is airing more than any other show on the lineup again. Very strange. Makes me wonder why Fresh Prince, Home Improvement, or even George Lopez are nowhere to be seen after 2am.
Pavan 04-26-2008, 02:13 PM I think they are just trying to air plays for Roseanne, because it has barely aired since it was renewed. Plus Full House didn't do so well in the late nights. They wouldn't waste their plays on George Lopez after 2am, since that would be wasting the plays. They are being extra careful since they have encores of it at 1-2am and no extra episodes. Encores within 24 hours do not count as a play...so it a freebie.
