Okay, I've been hearing from people that Comcast will be getting rid of all their classic TV shows on TubeTime and replacing them with classic "Seinfeld" episodes! ARGH!!!! :mad: I sure hope there are lies!!! Bad enough all the crappy networks around here devote all the time in the world to showing nonstop "Seinfeld" reruns and the DVD companies keeps shelling out all these special sets of "Seinfeld" even though the crap-filled show has an entire series out already....now Comcast has fallen under the dreaded "Seinfeld" curse, too?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Can someone on here PLEASE tell me this is all a big rumor?!?!?!?!?!?!

I just called my friend and fellow classic TV buff, Fran, and she told me that word is out that Comcast's "classic TV" hasn't been doing well and there's been alot of demand for shows like "Seinfeld" and "Friends". So, sadly, Comcast buckled under the pressure and are removing all their classic shows.

I don't see how those shows will do better since they're running nonstop in syndication already.

It's a mystery to me, too. I think most people out there are just braindead and they'd rather see a stupid, s**tty show about a bunch of ugly, mean-spirited people who treat people like crap and whine about nothing than a decent show like "FOL" where there are actual stories and real characters.

Until there is something in writing, that is not true. Your "friend" needs to prove it with info. My Comcast contacts say no such thing. Comcast Tubetime has added new shows (Sanford & Son, Larry Sanders, etc) as of last month, and show no signs of leaving. Friends isn't even Sony-owned, sounds like a lie to me. They could add Seinfeld, but why would they remove every show for it? This is BS your friend is saying. We have covered Comcast Tubetime here at SitcomsOnline from the start, so we would know. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/labels/TubeTime.html
