Thank you for the heads up!

We are the ones reporting it (no one else):

an update on this: The marathon is still scheduled for Saturday. And...well...that's it for now. What? The show was widely expected to be on their March schedule, but it doesn't appear that is going to be happening. You have to wonder why they couldn't find even so much as one time slot for it amongst all that Martha Stewart programming. It would be a wonderful complement to the Golden Girls. Anyways, if the marathon does well on Saturday, there is hope. It looks like they will be showing at least the complete first season. I hope to record all of it, but maybe someone else(s) would want to record it also to make a better set out of it.

This is awesome I have been waiting a long time for this to come back on tv. I will be recording all of the episodes and since its reported here that they are airing the first season twice that shouldnt be a problem.

thanks for the heads up guys

I know Golden Girls was getting near 500,000-600,000 viewers for the afternoon slots towards the end of 2010 and the Martha Stewart show or what ever that is was getting only around 200,000 viewers. So it seems that these numbers arent that bad.

there is a mini-marathon scheduled for Sunday April 3 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. and it appears to pick up where it left off. Then it settles into the 1 a.m. - 3 a.m. time slot on Tue April 5 again picking up where it left off, in terms of order of episodes.

Good Lord in Heaven. ANOTHER schedule change on Hallmark. Seriously, Hallmark needs to knock it the hell off.

Pavan reports..

Maybe the third time is the charm? For the third time, The Hallmark Channel has edited their April 2011 schedule before it has even started. Effective Monday (April 4), there will be changes in the evenings and late nights from the second revision, which we gave you about ten days ago. An extra airing of The Waltons will air weekdays at 5pm replacing an airing of Little House on the Prairie. This means The Waltons will now air for three hours from 3-6pm every weekday. At 6pm, Little House on the Prairie remains, but it was going to be replaced at 7pm by The Golden Girls, but this will no longer happen. The 8pm hour was also going to be The Golden Girls, but now Hallmark has scheduled another Little House on the Prairie, so the drama will air weeknights from 6-9pm. The other changes are in late night. Cheers will remain in the 1am-3am block now, as it was going to be replaced by Empty Nest. Then from 3am-5am will now be a late night block of The Golden Girls, as Cheers was planned in this block in the previous revision. The Golden Girls will now air from 11pm-1am and 3am-5am, if you're keeping score. The changes will be made on weekdays/nights only. The weekend schedule will remain the same as the previous update. This means Empty Nest will be just on weekends for an hour in the mornings (anytime between 7-9am) and a late night block on weekends from 3am-5am. View the the UPDATED Hallmark Channel April 2011 schedule. If anything changes AGAIN, we will let you know. Stay tuned!

even worse news. it has been removed all together
