It's great that Desperate Housewives is coming to weekdays, but I'd rather it switch places with Wife Swap.

Desperate Housewives can only air one episode a day, though. The 8am airings are encores of the previous noon airings.

What is the deal with Still Standing and Reba? Who wants to watch two shows with short original runs go through cycles 20 times a year?

What is the deal with Still Standing and Reba? Who wants to watch two shows with short original runs go through cycles 20 times a year?

Umm...Reba was on for 6 seasons. That's considered a good run. Still Standing however, only had 4 seasons. Both shows bring in the ratings for the network or they wouldn't air them back to back and then back to back again. Although, being a Reba fan, I can honestly say I never watch the 6pm airings. I do watch the 8pm airings 3-4 times a week though.

I do agree, Still Standing and Reba both need some of their airings cut. Both air twice in 4 hours - and it's in good slots, too, which is way too much. I wish they could give Frasier a nice evening slot - it deserves better than morning and latenight.

Isn't The Nanny coming to either Nick @ Nite or TV Land Fall 2009 still?

I believe it's coming to TV Land sometime in the future - it was supposed to come to NAN, but I don't think that's happening anymore.

Eh. They should drop "Wife Swap," and an hour each of "Reba" and "Still Standing" and make that more movie time.

Using the same lineup this is how I would have preferred the schedule to look.

Eh. They should drop "Wife Swap," and an hour each of "Reba" and "Still Standing" and make that more movie time.They air tons of movies on weekends. Four movies every weekday would be overkill.

The Nanny is listed to come to Nick at Nite in April 2009, and TV Land in 2010.

So are The Nanny and Everybody Hates Chris the only 2 coming in 2009 to N@N as far as you know?

I would love Reba and Fraiser one after the other. Still Standing needs to go, lol.

Well, The Nanny might not be even used on NAN until its TV Land premiere. If it is, I bet NAN stuffs it to late night. As far as other reruns, that is all that is announced as of now, but they do have the animated sitcom coming in summer 2009.

And just when I thought N@N was on the verge of being great again...lol.
I'm curious to why they bought the rights to Everybody Hates Chris when its ratings are so poor. I'm guessing it was part of a huge deal and the CW will end it after May of 2009. I truely hate it with a passion, and its funny cause I like Chris Rock but hate the show.

Pav, wouldn't it be awesome if N@N was dedicated to old 90's and 80's TGIF Shows? (Family Matters, Boy Meets World, etc) and a few newer ones like George Lopez? I bet you the network would be doing even better like that. It sucks Boy Meets World is without a distributor now ever since Buena Vista lost its rights to the show August 31st of last year.

I'd love N@N to be like;

8:30pm - Blossom
9pm - Boy Meets World
10pm - George Lopez
11pm - Family Matters
12am - The Fresh Prince
12:30am - Blossom
1am - Roseane
2am - George Lopez
3am - Boy Meets World
4am - Blossom
5am - Family Matters

Blossom has no chance. Hell will freeze over before that would air, I bet. Big time syndicated dud. The perfect show would be Step by Step. Boy Meets World would do good, too, but only after Nickelodeon.

I think Chris could be a surprise hit. Especially at 8:30.

That's what I was thinking. Or, putting it on after G.LO would give it a good lead in;)

what shows be good for nan surprised married with children not on there that what i shocked about.or golden girls family matters my fav show on there

Usually, shows that did well on Lifetime do poorly on Nick at Nite. Examples: Mad About You and Designing Women. Both were huge duds on NAN, but semi-successful on TV Land. The Nanny will be exactly the same, even though I'm hoping it to do well.

I think Nick at Nite should pick up Step by Step and Boy Meets World immediately, as long as George Lopez and Family Matters continue to do well. SBS and BMW would do huge with those 2 shows - all 5 blend in with each other so well. I'd just love to see a schedule of these 5 from 9pm-2am. I wouldn't watch anything else ever again-LOL

And as long as we're on NAN, I think NAN believes it will be similar to George Lopez - not as successful in original airings, but great ratings in repeats.

I would love a line-up ike this with an expanded line-up:

8:00AM: Desperate Housewives

Wonder what Lifetime will do come February when the Golden Girls leaves?

I don't enjoy "Desperate Housewives". Sometimes I think I am the only one.

There are many shows I never knew until LifetimeTV. Shows like "Still Standing" weren't reruns to me. I never watched "Reba" or "The Nanny" until LifetimeTV showed them.

October updates for Lifetime includes original sitcom Rita Rocks:

Lifetime is the second Cable to make a last Mintue Change for October 13, 2008.

DH needs to come on later than noon, daily reruns would be fun for it, but at a time people might be home

How Late Desperate Housewives should come on

How Late Desperate Housewives should come on
I think early evening would be nice, or maybe around 11 pm or so.

Does this mean Desperate Housewives will now air two episodes a day, or will the noon airing be an encore of the previous day's 1PM airing?

Two episodes a day now for DH.

That's kind of a random change-LOL. I guess they wanted to air 2 episode of DH back-to-back, which means it's doing well?? They should air it in primetime - it seems like a natural fit there.

Just my opinion but TV Stations Blow--I would never let myself be Suckered by another one!!!!!

Some minor changes I forgot to post. This was in effect on Nov. 24:

CHANGES LISTED ONLY
Weekdays
8-9am Golden Girls (replaces Still Standing) -- so Golden Girls will air 8-10am
12am Will & Grace (replaces Frasier) -- so Will & Grace will air 11pm-12:30am
1am Frasier (replaces Golden Girls) -- so Frasier will air 12:30am-1:30am
2am Golden Girls (replaces The Nanny) -- so Golden Girls will air 1:30am-2:30am

The Nanny has seen its last episode on Lifetime, as the series will expire at the end of the year and move to Nick at Nite/TV Land. More details on the blog next week, along with Lifetime's January highlights...

I am looking forward to seeing The New Schedule
