I know I will be watching M*A*S*H On Friday, November 13, 2009 and Friday November 20, 2009 at 7:00 pm and 7:30 pm CT Time

I love the fact that The Brady Bunch has made a comeback. The anniversary numbers had to have been GOOD.

I love the fact that The Brady Bunch has made a comeback. The anniversary numbers had to have been GOOD.Agreed. Same for Hogan's Heroes, it's come back nicely as well.

Thank God there are no originals again in November.

More on TV Land changes starting this week and also TV Land orders two original sitcom pilots (not certain it would get picked up):

This latest schedule is actually fantastic, IMO, the best schedule TV Land has had all year. Anyone else notice how every single year for the past 3 years or so, TV Land has had its best schedules in the last couple months of the year?

Married with Children finally getting a daily timeslot is the best move TV Land couldve made. Airing at 9pm every weeknight is even better. I can't believe Good Times is finally gone from the schedule, though. I also can't believe All in the Family is retaining its evening hour, and its morning slot. And Andy Griffith is bumped from primetime. Overall, fantastic changes, finally.

I am glad to see Married With Children from 9:00 pm until 11:00 pm CT ime

TVLand is all smoke and mirrors.
If you cant dazzle them with Brilliance---Baffle them with BS

Married will be gone by Christmas :lol:

I do NOT like the Monday Andy Griffith marathons being gone, and Good Times being removed entirely. Good to see Hogan's Heroes back though. 9pm-3am won't get my viewership

It's not that they want to remove MWC, it is always forced out because Spike wants to air. MWC does great for TV Land. It's one of the few show that works in primetime. Why do you think it keeps coming back?

I didn't mean it would be removed due to performance issues, it's just that it comes back, airs in decent slots, then apparently has to leave after a while. Will they ever work something out with Spike?

Like:
Extreme Makeover off weekday schedule
Married...with Children back

Dislike:
Good Times gone (interesting that it and The Brady Bunch are the 2 classic sitcoms that will not be airing weekdays and they're the shows next to face a renewal decision).

My favorite MASH episodes are the early ones with Henry and Trapper, and I've said quite often that whoever runs programming at TV Land must only like the later MASH years. Every time it wraps back to the beginning of the show, they reduce the airtime of the show.

I was looking forward to seeing some episodes with Henry, Trapper, and the classic Margaret-Frank team tonight (Sunday) in the 10pm-midnight block, but I see that's gone tonight, and next Sunday, too. Guess they will bring the 10pm blocks back when it gets to the B.J. and Potter episodes, and remove them again when it gets back to the Henry and Trapper episodes.

Just as I predicted, when MASH got into the B.J. and Potter episodes (which I find deadly dull), now the Sunday MASH block is back with regularity. When it was last in the Trapper and Henry episodes, the Sunday block disappeared. It seems to me whoever is in charge of programming doesn't like the early episodes, but they should not allow their personal biases to affect the airing of the episodes. The Hallmark Channel doesn't do this stuff--they just moved into B.J. and Potter episodes but they didn't increase the length of the programming block to do so.

I haven't been watching as carefully for this, so I can't be as certain of it as I am for MASH, but I think the TV Land programmers don't like the early "Three's Company." I like the early episodes best, because I think Terry is the least funny of the three blonde roommates, and as much as I love Don Knotts on TAGS, I don't find Mr. Furley to be very funny, while I think the Ropers are hilarious. It seems to me when Three's Company is in the early episodes, the late night block is only an hour; when in the later episodes, it's a two-hour block. I'm going to try to keep an eye on this to see if this is really the case.

If the programmers really cared about the viewers, they would air the shows consistently rather than adjusting the air time to accommodate their own personal biases. The shows are supposed to be for the viewers, not the people in charge of programming.

Still a long time away, but here is the new news:

TV GUIDE NETWORK AND TV LAND ACQUIRE EXCLUSIVE
JOINT BASIC CABLE RIGHTS TO AWARD-WINNING
HBO COMEDY SERIES "CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM"

Networks Jointly Acquire Multi-Platform Rights to the Hit Comedy Series
Produced By and Starring "Seinfeld" Co-Creator Larry David


LOS ANGELES (November 9, 2009) ­-- TV Land and TV Guide Network today announced that they will jointly acquire basic cable rights to "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the award-winning HBO comedy series produced by and starring "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David. One of the most ground-breaking shows on television, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" has never before been seen on basic cable television and for the first time ever, this irreverent comedy series will be delivered to millions of new viewers by TV Guide Network and TV Land. In addition, both networks will acquire certain broadband, wireless and video-on-demand rights, bringing "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to multiple screens for fans to enjoy.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" has recently garnered tremendous buzz and fan-following during its current season which features a long-awaited "Seinfeld" reunion 11 years after the show's finale. Airing now on HBO, the seventh season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" stars members of the famed "Seinfeld" cast, who recreate their sitcom characters and also play themselves during the show.

"Acquiring a series of this caliber truly underscores our commitment to defining TV Guide Network as a destination for some of the best shows on television," said Ryan O¹Hara, President of TV Guide Network and TVGuide.com. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is our second major acquisition this year and it will become another key building block in our programming line-up for 2010 and beyond."

"We are excited to bring "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to TV Land PRIME," stated Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is one of the most clever, witty and groundbreaking shows on television and we're excited to have it join our roster of top-quality sitcoms. The irreverent way "Curb" uses characters to illuminate real-life situations fit perfectly with our strategy of delivering programming that is geared to the life stage and attitudes of people in their 40s."

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" will air on TV Guide Network for a multi-year run starting February 2010. TV Land will begin airing the series in TV Land PRIME immediately following TV Guide Network's term in 2013.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" stars Larry David as himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his life. Shot in a verite style and featuring celebrities playing themselves, the episodes are improvised by the actors from an outline created by David. The series also stars Cheryl Hines as David's wife Cheryl, Jeff Garlin as David's manager Jeff and Susie Essman as Jeff's wife Susie. The show was nominated for four Emmys® in 2008, including Outstanding Comedy Series. It won the Golden Globe® in the Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy category in 2002. In 2003, Robert B. Weide won a directing Emmys® for his work on the series. The series has also received awards from the Writers Guild of America, Directors Guild of America, Banff Television Festival, American Film Institute and Monte Carlo Television
Festival, among others.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" is executive produced by Larry David, Jeff Garlin, Gavin Polone, Alec Berg, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer, Tim Gibbons and Erin O'Malley.

Married...with Children returns next Saturday (Nov. 14) and will have marathons every Saturday along with airing Mon-Thurs in the 9pm hour and Mondays from 10pm-12am starting Nov. 16. Full changes:

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!! MWC is back where it belongs! and a nightly timeslot! Awesome.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is certainly an interesting pick-up. They are certainly getting a large portfolio of shows.
I don't buy the fact that they will remain a mix of newer and classic shows. With all of the recent shows coming, I think they will eventually push the older shows off entirely. It may be a couple of years, but I bet it will happen.

With Good Times and The Brady Bunch facing expiration, and given the fact that they must not do great and have aired for a long time, wouldn't surprise me if we don't see them daily again. I don't think either will be renewed.

Has anyone noticed the new bug at the corner?

Great changes on the whole, even though I don't like MWC. Cool to have Hogan's Heroes on the regular schedule again. Stinks about Cosby though. Will that still be on TV Land? If not I'll just watch it on WGN

I like the direction TV Land is headed - as long as they do, in fact, keep classic sitcoms on throughout the day. They are acquiring great shows left and right for their PRIME lineup - The Nanny, Home Improvement, Friends, That 70s Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, Curb Your Enthusiam, etc MWC.

So, if they keep the classic and add great modern shows to the schedule, I think we won't need to keep bashing TV Land in the near future. Or, they could get rid of the sitcoms and ruin all the modern shows they get with their editing before booting them off the schedule entirely for some random reality show.

I bet we will start seeing 2 or 3 original series running at the time once they get going with the new shows. Like one night for originals, one show from 8 or 9-11 one night, movie one night, etc. I bet TV Land gets an animated series. As mentioned before, nobody has The Simpsons (though I don't like it, I'll be done with TV Land by then anyway)

If they do keep classic shows, I bet they will not have the variety they have always had, or even have now. They will probably air them from like 10am-4pm and afternoons will be westerns and 2 sitcoms with doubles in the morning. They would need 4 or 5 classic shows only. I don't see them spending money for classic shows when they're probably paying big bucks for these shows coming and there are a good bit of them.

Hallmark has been having problems....they should just start airing 50s-80s shows. They're almost there anyway except for movies and TBAA.

TV LAND’S HIT SERIES “SHE’S GOT THE LOOK” BACK FOR A THIRD SEASON, PREMIERING IN 2010

Series Moving Production To Los Angeles, CA

Casting Calls For Women Over Thirty-Five Kick-Off On December 6th

New York, New York – November 11, 2009 -- TV Land announced today that it has picked up the hit original reality model competition “She’s Got The Look” for a third season and is moving the series production to Los Angeles, CA. Premiering in 2010, this season of “She’s Got The Look” sets out to discover a beautiful, sophisticated and confident woman over the age of 35 who has the potential to transform herself into a model representing some of the most high-profile brands and highly-coveted campaigns in the fashion and beauty industry. Emmy Award-Winner Allison Grodner (“Big Brother,” “Blowout”) returns as executive producer and has teamed up with executive producer Rich Meehan (“Big Brother”) in their first project together under their new banner, Fly On The Wall Entertainment. The show has also renewed partnerships with SELF Magazine and world-renowned modeling agency, Wilhelmina Models, Inc.

Open casting calls for “She’s Got The Look” begin Monday, December 6th in Los Angeles, CA. Additionally, there will also be open casting calls in New York, NY on December 12th, in Memphis, TN on December 13th and in Columbus, OH on December 15th. Thousands of applications have already been received for the third season. For the most current information on casting, log onto TVLandPrime.com.

“She’s Got The Look’ resonates with our viewers who can identify with the show’s message of reinvention, second chances and achieving lifelong dreams,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. “The transformations and experiences these women go through are always so inspirational and this is sure to be another amazing season.”

“Today, some of the most beautiful women in Hollywood and the world are over the age of 35,” says Sean Patterson, President of Wilhelmina Models. Just look at the magazines featuring Jennifer Aniston, Renee Zellweger, Eva Mendes and even Carla Bruni on a regular basis. It’s no coincidence that ‘She’s Got The Look’ is quickly gaining resonance as a real and much-needed television show that is also heartfelt and extremely entertaining. We are very proud of our past two winners who are doing fabulously and are excited to find the next to add to Wilhelmina’s roster of beautiful men and women.”

"The message of ‘She's Got the Look’ is to take on new challenges in your life, which is exactly what SELF encourages our 6 million readers to do every month," says SELF editor-in-chief Lucy Danziger. "By trying something outside your comfort zone, you always win.”

Throughout the past three seasons of “She’s Got The Look,” contestants have ranged from age 35 to 72 years old. The exposure and success from the series has secured a variety of top-tier bookings for many of the show’s alumni with clients such as: Kmart, Verizon, AT&T, Nicole Miller Cosmetics, Hallmark, Microsoft, Toyota, Volvo and many more. These achievements fulfill the shows premise that beauty is timeless.

Keith Cox and Sal Maniaci serve as executive producers for TV Land; Sean Patterson and Corey Preston are executive producers from Wilhelmina.

Why are they bringing this back? It doesn't do well.

She's Got The Look Season 3: :eek2:

However, I do like the early evening showings of AITF and S&S.

I also love the early evening of All in The Family and Sanford And Son

However, I do like the early evening showings of AITF and S&S.
I love those airings too! Reminds me of when they had AITF in the early evenings about 8 or 9 years ago.

I remember when All in The Family aired at 3:00 pm CT Time

I love those airings too! Reminds me of when they had AITF in the early evenings about 8 or 9 years ago.

I've been enjoying AITF and, to some extent, S&S in the evenings too. I'm not a huge S&S fan but it's better than some of the stuff they've been showing at 7.

I'm worried that these are just placeholders for something TV Land is bringing into these slots in the near future, especially since these shows are already being shown in the morning (11:00am - 12:30pm). I've seen this before, where TV Land suddenly puts some great classic programming in extra time slots, only to turn out that it was just a placeholder for some new programs they acquired or were in the process of acquiring and were preparing to run in those slots.

But most of the time, though, when they bring in those newer shows, they flop big time. Scrubs, anyone? Just Shoot Me, anyone? Mad About You, anyone? Didn't they try Murphy Brown at some point? And they always end up going back to the older stuff. The Brady Bunch's comeback seemed to be short-lived, unfortunately, but hopefully S&S and AITF are faring better. What I REALLY want is a comeback for my all-time fave, Three's Company. It feels like an eternity since I was last able to watch it on a regular basis at a decent time.

Three's Company is on TV Land at 2:30 am 3:00 am and 3:30 am CT Time on TV Land But I wish Three's Company was on at 10:00 pm and 10:30 pm CT Time.

What I REALLY want is a comeback for my all-time fave, Three's Company. It feels like an eternity since I was last able to watch it on a regular basis at a decent time.I always thought this and would normally agree, but this time, it may work. They are really getting some high-caliber shows in there (MWC, Friends, That 70s Show [if it ever comes], CYE, Raymond, Boston Legal, etc). MAY, etc were just leftovers from Nick at Nite.

TV LAND INKS DEAL WITH TELEVISION, STAGE AND FILM STAR

GEORGE SEGAL TO STAR IN SITCOM PILOT

“RETIRED AT 35”

Oscar-Nominated Star To Portray Retired And Free-wheeling Dad


New York, NY, November 16, 2009 – TV Land announced today that George Segal – esteemed comedy and drama actor on TV, stage and film - has been tapped to star in the network’s sitcom pilot “Retired at 35.” The sitcom, which was previously announced in October along with comedy pilot “Hot in Cleveland,” is TV Land’s first foray into scripted comedy series and is being developed for TV Land PRIME.

“Retired at 35” follows a successful businessman who decides to leave the rat race of New York City behind and move into his parents’ Florida retirement home to reconnect with them, reevaluate his life and live the dream of retirement that so many are working towards. Segal will play the role of the father, who bonds with his son while showing him the glories of his newfound and liberated lifestyle.

Recently seen on the popular HBO series “Entourage,” and in ABC’s “Pushing Daisies,” Segal starred for seven seasons as Jack Gallo in the NBC ensemble comedy “Just Shoot Me.” On the big screen, he was an Oscar-nominee for “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and also starred in “A Touch of Class,” “The Owl and The Pussycat” with Barbra Streisand and “Fun with Dick and Jane” with Jane Fonda. He also starred on Broadway in “Art,” “Rattle of a Simple Man” and “Gideon.”

Chris Case (“Reba,” “Spin City”) is the writer for “Retired at 35” and Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis (“Rita Rocks,” “Reba,” “Titus”) are the executive producers.

“Retired at 35” and “Hot in Cleveland” are in development for 2010 for TV Land PRIME along with the premieres of “Everybody Loves Raymond” and the reality series “High School Reunion,” “First Love, Second Chance” and “She’s Got the Look.” TV Land PRIME is the network’s primetime programming block designed to appeal to the attitudes, life stage and interests of people in their 40s.

I'm interested in TV Land's foray into sitcoms, but I hate that the reality crap will return. Oh, if only it could be the 90s again.

I just watch TV Land for The There regural Show's

I'm enjoying Hogan's Heroes. They didn't start over with the first episode at least. I hope they don't pull it.

Prairie, Brady Bunch, and Good Times are off the weekday line-up and all expire next year....who else thinks they won't be renewed? The only one I think really has a chance is LHOTP. If they didn't renew The Jeffersons or Green Acres, I don't think they would renew BB or GT.

LHOTP is hard to tell about. It's like M*A*S*H in that I think it does pretty well but due to TV Land only being able to air it evenings/primetime/overnights---it kind of makes me think no. I think PRIME shows will fill most of those hours on the weekdays come next year and I don't think it would be worth renewing just for weekends.

I feel Good Times does similar in ratings to The Jeffersons...which we all know how that worked out. I love the show and hate to see it off the line-up now, but it will have probably ran its course after 5 years come next summer.

I think the problem with The Brady Bunch is that it doesn't really fit in well with many of the other TV Land shows. Probably Leave it to Beaver the most. It seems to do well in large blocks/marathons, but can't really work in the schedule at 1 - 2 x a day.

The Cosby Show, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Star Trek, Hogan's Heroes, and The Beverly Hillbillies are facing renewals next year as well. I think for the most part these will leave as well.

With 2 new classics coming, along with Leave it to Beaver, All in the Family, Sanford and Son, Three's Company, M*A*S*H, Andy Griffith, Gunsmoke, and Bonanza---there should be enough shows to fill up the non-PRIME portions of the schedule for 2011. I know....a little far away.

Why is TV Land only able to air LHOTP in evenings/primetime/overnights? It's on at 3 and 4pm on Hallmark. But I don't get Hallmark anymore...:mad:

Because it is a shared deal with Hallmark. Hallmark has it 6am - 6pm and TV Land has it 6pm - 6am.

Because it is a shared deal with Hallmark. Hallmark has it 6am - 6pm and TV Land has it 6pm - 6am.

Thanks for the info...I never knew that! I always wondered why they never put Little House in the place of some of the Gunsmoke or Bonanza episodes.

2 new classics? Do we know what they are yet, or any hints?

2 Classic Show's this is the first I am hering of this.

I know....a little far away.I forgot about the other shows expiring. I think Hillbillies is the best chance - it has done well for them and does similar to Leave it to Beaver, I think (which they recently renewed). Star Trek barely sees the light of the day, 3rd Rock doesn't do well (I think they air it for demographics). Cosby has been tried multiple times and doesn't seem to work. Hogan's Heroes seems like a 50/50, because it does seem to have done well initially, but it doesn't "fit."

As for LHOTP, it is apparently not prime-time material, and I think 6-8pm will be PRIME shows before long and it isn't worth renewing for just early mornings.

So, I really don't think anything will be renewed next year except maybe The Beverly Hillbillies and maybe Hogan's Heroes.

2 new classics? Do we know what they are yet, or any hints?All I remember is reading on the TV Land boards....they are 60s? sitcoms, I believe. Not totally sure, it's been a while.

Yeah, I think it was said both of them started in the 60s. At one point, TheLink was saying one was tentatively slated for January and the other was for March or April? So I would think an announcement for at least the first one is just right around the corner.

Today will be Andy Griffith from 4-6PM (replacing 4-5pm Bonanza).

Hmm...I wonder "started in the 60s" means that they did not end in the 60s? Part of me thinks Get Smart or Gilligan's Island will be one. That Girl, perhaps?

I was really thinking Gomer Pyle USMC and Gilligan's Island. But I read somewhere on the TV Land boards where TheLink compared Gilligan's Island to I Love Lucy, where many say they love the show, but not many actually tune in to watch.

Highly requested shows on those boards have included shows like those and Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mister Ed. But most of those have only been gone for 3 or 4 years. Gilligan's Island has been about 6 I think, Gomer Pyle longer than that.

I can't see many shows from the 60s doing better than some of the shows they've dropped in the last couple years- Green Acres, The Jeffersons, I Love Lucy, The Munsters...

I've long thought that they would be Gilligan's Island and Gomer Pyle. GP mainly because of the success of TAGS, but remember, they let Gomer Pyle expire when Andy Griffith was going well for them. I don't know why about Gilligan's Island...but it seemed to do well for them in the past (but remember, their standards are much higher now with wanting people in their 40s, so what may have been acceptable 5 years ago is not anymore).

Get Smart I would love, but it didn't meet their standards apparently in the early 2000s, so I'm sure it wouldn't now.

I don't think That Girl did well in 2006 when they had that weekend marathon, and WGN has Bewitched and Jeannie, so I doubt it'll be those. Seems like they're doing well for them.

Could it be My Three Sons? Petticoat Junction? I agree, I don't see what other 60s shows would live up to their standards.

That's exactly the thing---some of those big time 50s/60s classics like Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, Bewitched, and The Munsters couldn't cut it apparently back around 2006, so there's even less a chance now.

Petticoat Junction does get a pretty good number of requests, but I have a hard time seeing it be more successful than Green Acres.

I sort of have a hard time seeing Gilligan's Island doing better than Sherwood's other hit The Brady Bunch, but it may fit in better with some of the other classics in the schedule.

I hope it's not Jeannie or Bewitched...those are doing well on WGN and I don't think spreading them around would be a good thing. Let them thrive on WGN.

I'm at a loss like the rest of you. I truly don't know what it can be...I never thought Hogan's Heroes would stick around as long as it has (even with the break in the middle), so who knows. Maybe it is something that we don't expect to do well.

Yeah, I think it was said both of them started in the 60s. At one point, TheLink was saying one was tentatively slated for January and the other was for March or April? So I would think an announcement for at least the first one is just right around the corner.

I have January, they have nothing new except Home Improvement. I'll announce it soon...maybe next week. Things to expect: more Married with Children, no Roseanne in primetime (8pm-12am) except Saturdays, new season of High School Reunion, and Home Improvement launches with a week-long event.

Home Improvement!!!!!!! It's about time!

and I REALLY hope MWC is here to stay on TV Land. This back and forth with Spike is tiring. It hasn't worked there and at least seems to be doing well enough on TV Land(considering the primetime slot, the marathon on Monday and the Saturday marathons) so leave it there.

Well dang! Maybe February? I do look forward to Home Improvement joining the PRIME line-up with Married...with Children. They sort of compliment each other well. Not looking forward to HSR- I don't watch it, but those dang ads! I wonder if Boston Legal is coming in February or March?

I have not heard one peep about these "so-called" two classics coming to TV Land. If it was coming soon, I'd know by now. The only person saying this is TheLink and he is already off with this January stuff.

Boston Legal will likely be in March. Not 100% sure though. Could launch as early as February. As for MWC, I think it is TV Land for good now.

Here is what TheLink wrote in late August:

"I am fairly certain that one is scheduled to debut in April. I do not have a definite date for the other, but, there was talk of January a while back."


I don't know what to think about all this. They started mentioning these on the TV Land boards late last year and originally at least one of them was supposed to start in 09, then both were pushed back to 2010. It's always "tentatively scheduled for 2010". Maybe they'll just say to hell with putting them on-air and just put them on their website?

Remember Laugh-In? It was supposed to come in 2007 according to TheLink and never did. It supposedly fell through. Pavan, am I correct?

With all of these shows they have acquired for PRIME, I wouldn't be surprised if the classic ones don't come at all. As I have said, I think TV Land will be done with classic TV in several years, as much as I hate to say it. WGN, RTV, and Hallmark are the best alternatives for pre-90s shows, and we will probably see them add more than TV Land.

Guess I should enjoy Andy Griffith from 8-9pm while it lasts...with Home Improvement coming, it will probably get bumped.

I think with MWC, Home Improvement, Roseanne, Raymond, Boston Legal, The Nanny, originals...plus Extreme Makeover and Scrubs (they could work better with some of these more modern shows)...TV Land won't really need to have that many "classics" in their collection. The ones under contract thru 2011 - 2013 can occupy enough of the remaining schedule....9am - 6pm probably. I could see Andy Griffith airing in a 2-hour block from 4 - 6pm and then the PRIME shows begin.

The problem with the new shows coming to TV Land is that most of them are nights only. They're going to have to fill daytime with something. I don't really know how they're going to fit all of those shows in to prime time, myself. I'm guessing they will encore them from 12am-6am or something.

I'd put shows like MWC, 3rd Rock, Cosby Show in the evening with Andy Griffith leading in. They could easily do this for daytime:

9AM EM: HE (should be airing during PRIME hours, but I don't think it does well enough and they seem to like airing it in the morning the most)
10AM-11AM Sanford and Son
11AM All in the Family
11:30AM Leave it to Beaver
12PM-1PM The Beverly Hillbillies
1PM Gunsmoke
2PM-4PM Bonanza
4PM-6PM Andy Griffith
...then PRIME 6P-6A.

Given that the shows expiring soon aren't renewed and they keep the ones that they seem to like airing during the week the most on.

Schedule adjustment tomorrow

9-11AM Slap Shot
11-1:30PM Slap Shot II
1:30PM Hogan's Heroes

the daytime marathons have been off the clock since Thursday :rolleyes:

I see they're already showing promos for Boston Legal coming in 2010. I haven't seen one for Home Improvement, though. I wonder where they'd slot BL when it comes. Hopefully we'll see them resort to a normal, daily schedule. Something like Home Improvement 8pm, Roseanne 9pm, Married with Children 10pm, Boston Legal 11pm could probably work, with maybe a repeat of that block 12-4am.

It hasn't been reported what timeslot HI is getting yet, right?
