I haven't done this in a while and I figured it might be fun to try it again now so here goes. With many new TV channels starting up like Antenna TV and Me-TV and other older channels suddenly adding more classic TV sitcoms to their lineups, I thought I'd give you a little TV guide where you can keep track of your favourite shows by times and channels. Except for some of the early-50s classics like "Make Room For Daddy" and "Ozzie and Harriet" which have been relegated to public domain DVD status and can be enjoyed almost exclusively online, just about every classic sitcom from "Leave It To Beaver" to "Cheers" can be seen somewhere in the US. (Canada is another story. Much to my utter despair, we have yet to encounter the same amount of 'retro revival' on TV that has taken place in the States, but there's always hope.) So here they are, the sitcoms of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s that are currently running somewhere on a cable or digital channel in North America. I won't bother with the 1980s since I prefer the older stuff. I will present these shows in this manner:


---All times are in Eastern time. All dates given are current as of today. Any listing can change at any time. If that happens, let me know.

---Canadian channels are listed first followed by US channels. All listings are for the national feeds (especially in the case of Me-TV and RTV), except for regional channels that are located within my own viewing area. If you'd like to share a program that you've found in your specific region, feel free to add it to the list.

---The times given are from Monday to Friday, except where indicated.

Thats a good lineup. A lot of it is available in Canada. The Hub is the channel I recognize with Happy Days etc. Antenna TV is another and ME-TV is available in the Midwest only I think.
