-Glenn Martin, DDS
Premieres Monday, August 17, 2009
Launch Week Aug. 17-21, 8PM each night
Regular Time-Spot Mondays at 8PM
Glenn Martin, DDS is the first television production to come out of Michael Eisner’s Tornante Animation Company. The original stop-motion animated series follows the life of Glenn Martin (Kevin Nealon), who yearns for a change of scenery and a deeper connection with his family. Determined to bring the family closer together, Glenn takes the Martins on a road trip to protest the destruction of a beloved childhood park. As things unravel right from the get-go, the family is forced to make the dental-mobile – replete with a giant decorative toothbrush on the roof – their new home. Glenn, Jackie (Catherine O’Hara) and Courtney (Jackie Clarke) – an 11-year-old future corporate maven who brings along her personal assistant, Wendy (Judy Greer), a 14-year-old North Korean exile – and son, Conor (Peter Oldring), the 13-year-old hormone-addled tween who’s not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed--quickly learn when hitting the road that the road can sometimes hit back in unexpected ways. The Martins are accompanied on their journey by the family dog, Canine, who’s pronounced buttocks only add to the hilarity.

First four episodes will air Aug. 17-20 at 8PM (after new episodes of The Penguins of Madagascar) before settling into its regular Mondays at 8pm timeslot starting Aug. 24. There will be a marathon of the first four episodes on Friday, August 21 from 8-10pm ET/PT. The first four episodes will also encore on sister network Comedy Central at 6pm Tues-Fri, the next night.

Monday, August 17, at 8:00 p.m. - Glenn Martin, DDS #102 “Amish Anguish”
When Glenn’s family fails to appreciate the beauty of Niagara Falls because they are too plugged in to their BlackBerry devices and Game Boys, Glenn confiscates all technology and stops in an Amish village to teach them a lesson. Unfortunately, his plan backfires when his family enjoys the village more than he does. If he wants to escape Amish country with his family intact, Glenn must learn to overcome his fear of technology.

Tuesday, August 18, at 8:00 p.m. - Glenn Martin, DDS #109 “Circus”
After Conor realizes that he has never won anything in his entire life, Glenn takes the family to a roadside circus to cheer him up. While there, Glenn acts as the circus dentist and Conor develops a long-hidden (and disgusting) talent. Meanwhile, Jackie befriends the circus strong woman and Courtney learns to fend for herself when Wendy decides to take her vacation days.

Wednesday, August 19, at 8:00 p.m. - Glenn Martin, DDS #101 “Save the Tooth”
After reading an article in a magazine about the demolition of his favorite childhood park, Glenn rents an RV and forces his family to go on a road trip to the park to protest. The trip is in jeopardy when Glenn gets in trouble with the law and must clean the teeth of everyone in town before he can leave. It looks like Glenn won’t get to the park in time to save it, unless he gets a little help from his family.

Thursday, August 20, at 8:00 p.m. - Glenn Martin, DDS #103 “Pimp My RV”
Living in the RV is starting to wear on Jackie. In an effort to cheer her up, Glenn promises that she can redecorate to make it seem more like home. However, when they pick up a mysterious hitchhiker who says he can help with the interior design, Glenn’s jealousy of this stranger threatens to get in the way of his family’s happiness.

Does anyone else think Glenn Martin DDS will flop? I just don't have a good feeling about it. I may watch an episode for the heck of it, but I think the 8pm hour with GMDDS/MitM will be bad, especially since Malcolm doesn't appear to be doing outstandingly well for them.

Home Improvement needs to be 12-1am, Family Matters 1-2am, THEN The Nanny 2-3am.

I do. I really can't see any kids watching it, and I doubt adults are going to tune in at 8pm to watch it.

Millionaire was fun. I went to the "Night 5" taping, so it airs Thursday, Aug. 13. Shawn Johnson was the celeb at the end of the show. The three contestants were great, and can't wait to see what happens to the last contestant on "Night 6." Regis is hilarious and very nice! I'm sure I'll be on TV. Camera was on our side (behind the contestant) a lot!

As for Nick at Nite, Glenn Martin will have a shot to do well. Why? It will air out of new episodes of Penguins of Madagascar at 7:30pm for all four nights.

It's even worse when they skip over half the episodes. Right now, they repeat hours 2 and 3 of The Nanny in hours 1 and 2 the next day. So, with 4 hours, it does kind of seem fairer with repeats. But of course, 4 hours of any show is WAY too much.

I don't know what happened to this network to make them become so bad so quickly. What a shame.

I have to admit I haven't been watching FM as much because it always seems like the 1996-98 era is on-lol

But I never see KIDS on the Nanny which is why I'm surprised it's working on N@N

The Nanny obviously does great, way better than MITM. Malcolm and all of that success they were having (that went to their heads) really fouled this channel up. The 9-10pm HI, 10-11pm Lopez, 11-12am Nanny was great. Wish we could see some Malcolm numbers -- I bet it's only marginal, especially since there's no latenight encore. They're probably not playing with it because 1) it's a new show and 2) no other show they have would probably fit the 8pm hour. IMO, the addition of Malcolm was a mistake.

FWIW, if anybody's up, Family Matters is on at 6am and still on the weekends, lol.

Its so annoying because not only do they repeat episodes they skip around SO much and they totally skip some episodes.

I figured it out, if they put ever episode in order of The Nanny they could get through the whole series in 18 days with it being on 8 episodes a night.

Actually, I know what you mean, exactly why I haven't been watching FM either - NAN seems to be stuck on the season 7-9 episodes for some reason. Wonder if that could be the reason why ratings are down?

NAN is currently airing season 4 of The Nanny - by that time the kids' roles were really downplayed in favor of the Fran/Mr.Sheffield relationship.

I think the addition of the 8pm hour, and Malcolm, was a mistake, although I'm still enjoying watching it when I can. I don't know why they're so greedy in wanting good ratings all of a sudden, though. They used to find a schedule and stick to it before - I'd really like to know their reasoning behind all this, as well as some recent NAN ratings.

And Dontdomornings, it seems to me like NAN only airs half of every season. Actually, it kinda makes sense, because the episodes they're airing in this cycle of The Nanny are different from the ones they aired in the first cycle. I don't know why, but I think they air half of every season in each cycle, then air the other half in the next cycle.

08-02-2009, 07:15 PM
I wonder what's with them. This schedule thing makes NO sense. Seems to be a weekly thing now. Do all of the other shows do so badly that Lopez, Nanny, and Fresh Prince are all they can air? I'm just not getting why Home Improvement and Family Matters (well, 6am) can't air during the week.

BTW, Nick at Nite will probably get a new logo next month. It's somewhere on this site, Nick is re-branding all of their networks so they have similar logos. The splat Nickelodeon logo is being changed (think it's on the Cartoons board).

What is going on with Malcolm in the Middle?
1. N@N hasnt shown them in order AT ALL.
2. N@N is showing episodes that have been shown already.
3. N@N has removed the 12am and 12:30am airing.
4. N@N is airing Glenn Martin DDS at 8pm for a week, interrupting the MITM airings.
5. N@N is NOT airing MITM on Fridays anymore.

I'm getting sick of this. I would like to see the final 2-3 seasons as I have never seen them. Come on N@N, get your act together! Perhaps you should wait more than a week to see if ratings can increase before you move stuff around.

I don't get it either. What is Malcolm supposed to be? To me it's too adult to be a Nick show, but it seems to be aligned more with the Nick shows than the other N@N shows. :confused:

Oh and all but three of those episodes have already aired, they haven't even gotten through all the episodes yet and are already repeating. :rolleyes:

What's replacing it on The N? I don't get the channel, but JW.

Brent: I know, it seems like it's too adult for Nick, but aligns better with those shows than the likes of The Nanny, etc. Seems to me they're treating it like a Nick show almost. I can see running something big like a SpongeBob stunt in to NAN, but not something for new iCarly episodes.

The N keeps getting worse and worse.

Since last year, they have managed to:
1. Get rid of Growing Pains
2. Get rid of Saved by the Bell
3. Get rid of All That (classic seasons)
4. Get rid of Kenan & Kel (starting today, apparently)
5. What I Like About You was airing 8-10 and now only 1-2 blah
6. Fresh Prince was airing at decent times a few months ago and now nothing

The reason this upsets me so much is that only Degrassi is airing and all these other bratty sort of shows.

The N keeps getting worse and worse.

Since last year, they have managed to:
1. Get rid of Growing Pains
2. Get rid of Saved by the Bell
3. Get rid of All That (classic seasons)
4. Get rid of Kenan & Kel (starting today, apparently)
5. What I Like About You was airing 8-10 and now only 1-2 blah
6. Fresh Prince was airing at decent times a few months ago and now nothing

The reason this upsets me so much is that only Degrassi is airing and all these other bratty sort of shows.
They should just rename the network The Degrassi Channel. Seriously, that channel has nothing good anymore.

WOW...that's bad. Maybe they're just "experimenting" with their schedule practically every week because it's the summer? I can't see them keeping 4 episodes of George Lopez, 8 episodes of The Nanny, and 6 episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on every night for too long. Talk about overkill.

I would guess either George Lopez or The Nanny. Or maybe, just maybe, N@N will get smart and do no late night marathons.

8:00 - Malcom in the Middle
9:00 - Everybody Hates Chris
9:30 - Glenn Martin, DDS (Mon), George Lopez

(Maybe once the first season of GM was through, they would give 9:30 to Chris, but I think for a show that was only on four years, it doesn't need more than one slot a night)

10:00 - George Lopez
10:30 - George Lopez
11:00 - The Nanny
11:30 - The Nanny
12:00 - The Nanny
12:30 - Glenn Martin, DDS (Mon), Everybody Hates Chris
01:00 - Family Matters
01:30 - Family Matters
02:00 - Family Matters
02:30 - The Nanny
03:00 - The Nanny
03:30 - The Nanny
04:00 - Home Improvment
04:30 - Home Improvment
05:00 - Malcom in the Middle
05:30 - Malcom in the Middle
06:00 - Everybody Hates Chris?

I know three episodes in a row might still feel like a marathon, but how much can you do with 6 shows in 21 half-hour slots?!

It could have been renewed just for a year, but again...I'm not 100% sure it is leaving Viacom this fall. I won't likely know until I see fall schedules for Nick at Nite and The N. But with ABC Family getting it on weeknights, it is fishy.

Could it not just be a deal like FX, ABC Family, and Viacom have with That '70s Show? IIRC, they all air the shows whenever. Maybe it is a split deal where one network has daytime rights and two networks share nightly rights? I would think it could be split that way.

10pm-12am George Lopez
12-1am Everybody Hates Chris
1-2am Malcolm in the Middle
2-5am The Nanny
5-6:30am Family Matters

There isn't enough episodes of Everybody Hates Chris for them to play it 2hrs a night... There are only 88 episodes and I doubt they are going to cut The Nanny from the 11pm slot!!

Things are starting to make much more sense now - this schedule is clearly placeholder until their fall schedule starts, most likely when Fresh Prince leaves. NAN obviously brought back FP in such high doses so they can get in all the airplays remaining they can.

For the fall, I really don't see things changing as much as some of the schedules on here suggest. I could definitely see something simple like this happening for the fall:

8pm Malcolm
9pm Everybody Hates Chris
10pm George Lopez
11pm The Nanny
12am The Nanny
1am George Lopez
2am Home Improvement (or Family Matters)
3am The Nanny
4am The Nanny
5am Everybody Hates Chris
6am Family Matters

I don't see George or The Nanny moving slots anytime soon, and those 9pm GL definitely seem like placeholder until Chris comes. 2am-6am is basically a tossup, but chances are it will include a lot of The Nanny.

I just really think EHC will do better for Viacom on BET than Nick@Nite.

NAN hasn't done single primetime airings in ages. They love sticking with double takes of all their shows, and with the 9pm hour basically open, they can easily stick Chris into it and keep their schedule similar to what it is now. If it doesn't do well, they can always put it down to 8:30 and slot it another hour of George back into 9pm.

Full House aired there on and off for at least a year - but, I don't think it lasted more than two weeks. Family Matters lasted about the same at 8:30 before being dropped from the slot. If they drop 8pm, they'd probably just drop Malcolm as well. I wonder what its ratings are, how much worse they are than GL at 9pm.

I agree. I think Malcolm may just be airing there due to lack of nothing else to put there. If Nick at Nite dropped it, I wonder how it would do on The N? That's the only other Viacom channel I could see it on (and they need some more shows!).

Airing with Degrassi, That 70s Show, whatever else airs on The N, it probably wouldn't fit too well. But, it wouldn't be any worse than say TV Land, lol. With Malcolm obviously not working too well, things aren't looking too good for Everybody Hates Chris.

Let's say they do get rid of the 8pm hour. Maybe Malcom at 9 and Chris at 830 although my own idea sort of sucks cuz if Malcolm isn't doing well then maybe it's not the best show to use as a lead-in.

I don't think Chris would be a good transition show at all. IMO it would be best right after a transition show. I am REALLY starting to have doubts about it but I always have. I don't really know why I think that, but I bet it will do well for BET (so Viacom isn't at a total loss if it doesn't work on Nick).

I could see them cutting the 8pm Malcolm and just airing it on and off at 8:30pm like they did Full House. There are probably Nick shows that would do better. Or, just dropping it entirely. It was a bad move on their part. However, I see the reasoning....they were doing so well, I guess they thought the channel would do even better with an extra hour.

From recent ratings, they don't seem to be down much at all with their current schedule. Their latenight is actually up from a month ago I believe, while primetime is down a bit. From that I would say The Nanny is doing great for them past 11pm on, while the 8pm hour (I'm not blaming Malcolm, I'm blaming the 8pm) is bringing down primetime.

And I agree - I don't think Chris is going to do well, especially if it's paired up with George Lopez. I could see it working with Family Matters or Fresh Prince, but I doubt FM will be on in primetime next month. If Chris doesn't work, and with Fresh Prince gone, I'm not sure what else they could do, though. If that's the case, I'd have to agree with Ryan - 9-midnight will be George Lopez, and midnight-6am will be The Nanny, lol.

I think N@N is tring all these combonations in the summer when less people are watching. Come this fall, I doubt changes will be made weekly, and N@N will give them time to grow.

From recent ratings, they don't seem to be down much at all with their current schedule. Their latenight is actually up from a month ago I believe, while primetime is down a bit. From that I would say The Nanny is doing great for them past 11pm on, while the 8pm hour (I'm not blaming Malcolm, I'm blaming the 8pm) is bringing down primetime.

And I agree - I don't think Chris is going to do well, especially if it's paired up with George Lopez. I could see it working with Family Matters or Fresh Prince, but I doubt FM will be on in primetime next month. If Chris doesn't work, and with Fresh Prince gone, I'm not sure what else they could do, though. If that's the case, I'd have to agree with Ryan - 9-midnight will be George Lopez, and midnight-6am will be The Nanny, lol.Totally agree. Remember, though, George can just be 2 episodes a night then they can encore it in the next 24 hours (which they do now). So 9-11pm is the most it can air.

I could see it all turning in to George Lopez 9-11pm, The Nanny 11-3am, then maybe Family Matters and Home Improvement and more Nanny 3-6:30am. I just don't see how they're going to fill 3-6am. I expect Family Matters to keep 6-6:30am.

Who else thinks by January, half the night will be G.LO and the other half The Nanny? I don't see HI, Chris, Glenn Martin or Malcom lasting long or much longer...The Fresh Prince will be gone two weeks into September and obviously Family Matters only does well in late night.

Seriously what happened to NAN. It used to be such a great channel full of a variety of good shows, and now basically all they air is 2 shows (GL and The Nanny).

I agree that if they do not get it together it is going to be half a night of GL and the other half The Nanny. Unless they plan to bring back HI or FM or move MITM to later time slot (which they might not have another choice).

I have a question. Couldn't they move other Viacom shows to NAN to fill time slots??

I was actually wondering about the GL thing - I know they had that clause in the contract only because GL was also entering its first year of syndication. Isn't this its third year now? You'd think NAN would be allowed to air it as much as they'd like daily at this point.

I agree, I don't think these weekly changes will carry over into the fall. Interestingly enough, as much as they've changed the schedule this summer, ratings are barely down. It still amazes me how well GL still does and how well The Nanny is doing, considering these are 2 shows I never thought would have been hits for them.

This fall schedule will definitely be interesting. I can't wait to see what they do.

No it's not. If the ratings ever become awful it could always be pulled and never seen again. I can never several shows from before 2008 that were like that.

I just don't know about fall. And Chris. Wouldn't surprise me to see the 8pm hour removed. Given that happened, I'd suggest this for Chris's debut, give it a chance (this way, no show would be aired for 2 hours except The Nanny latenights):

9-10PM Everybody Hates Chris
10-11PM George Lopez
11-12AM The Nanny
12-1AM Home Improvement
1-2AM George Lopez
2-3AM Everybody Hates Chris
3-4AM Family Matters
4-6AM ?? The Nanny I guess
6AM Malcolm in the Middle

Family Matters and Home Improvement could be switched, but I think HI would do better.

and if Chris falters...

9-11PM George Lopez
11-12AM The Nanny
12-1AM Home Improvement
1-2AM Everybody Hates Chris
2-3AM Family Matters
3-6AM ?? The Nanny I guess
6AM Malcolm in the Middle

and on the weekends, do special marathons of Family Matters and MITM.

After airing N@N at 8pm for only 2 months, why would they just end it? I think N@N should give it a try. It's obviously not going to be the strongest hour, then again, what 8pm hour is?

That's a good schedule clj, and it's something I'd definitely like to see. But, something tells me we won't be seeing the return of Home Improvement, or Family Matters in early hours, which are probably close to finished at this point. We'll probably see something like this:

8pm Malcolm
9pm Chris
10pm George Lopez
11pm-1am the Nanny
1am george Lopez
2am-4am The Nanny
4am Chris
5am Family Matters

Seems like just a few months ago this network had so much more variety.

Ok this link http://forums.tvland.com/tvln/board/message?board.id=asktvlthelink&message.id=701&query.id=3339130#M701 (from tvland) says that tvland owns the rights to HI from January 1, 2009 – August 30, 2013 so why don't they play it. It also says they own the rights to The Nanny from April 1, 2010 – January 31, 2014. So does that mean April 2010 NAN won't be able to play The Nanny anymore?? Thanks!!

clj2
08-11-2009, 04:02 PM
Ignore that. TV Land has likely always had access to those shows since they acquired them (they're both Viacom)! I don't know if either show (especially Nanny since she is doing so well for NAN) are even planned for TV Land now. I bet Nanny, given how well it's doing now, will still be full-force on NAN in April unless Chris is some huge hit or they acquire a show that does well.

That makes no sense.

See that is why I was confused, they are both Viacom. I agree The Nanny is probably going to be on in April and beyond because if they take it off what else are they going to play all night long without FP!! I doubt that Chris will be that big of a hit.
