Silver Spoons

Actually, these shows were on Nick at Nite. Well, "Chicoe" was on TV Land.

Maude and Silver Spoons were aired temporarily on NAN.

1999 Maude aired in the "hothead" month. Maude also aired on TV Land
2001 Silver Spoons did air during a "totally 80's" week long marathon and then aired eps from the marathon on Sunday nights on NAN.

Yea I know Chico and the Man and Maude were on TV Land but I didn't get TV Land then. I always get channels after they JTS. lol I remember SS aired for a week on N@N. They all should have been on there regularly though.

N@N for some reason skipped the '80s for the most part and went straight to the '90s and fresh current shows like George Lopez and the upcoming Everybody Hates Chris.

I don't think Webster or Punky Brewster were ever on NAN or TVLand.

Both of those shows would have been great candidates for Nickelodeon during the 90's or early 2000's.

I love that show. Used to watch it at like 6 in the morning on TBS a few years ago.

He did go on to a very good role on Newhart and later starred on Honey I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Series.

You must mean TV LAND because Friends is not a Family Show

Alf and 227 made it to NAN in 2001 on Sunday night with limited episodes. Saved by the bell at least made it to the sister Nick network "The N". That's the best we get.

227 would be a nice addition again, it was hard to sample when it came on in the afternoon

Just The Ten Of US was a great short lived sitcom that never got enough credit. I remember USA and the Disney channel aired episodes in the 90's.

Big Brother Jake... a nice rare sitcom that never got as popular as it should have been.

TV Land and NAN never gave it the treatment that it deserved.

The best treatment for any show is before 11pm
