Although Hallmark just added the series a few weeks ago in a two hour block on the weekday afternoons, it's already being replaced in that time slot (by "The Waltons," which will also air on TWO other cable networks!), and after two weeks being off the air, will begin a new time slot at 1-3am (Eastern I believe).

While I'm very glad to have the show on the air again, and time slot doesn't mean much to me because I DVR everything I want to see and watch it when I want to, doesn't it seem a little like a smack in the face to already move the show from daytime to late night slots? (Although this may work out better for some viewers.) I only worry because other networks, in the past, have made moves like this before dropping a show! I just want it to stay on the air. :)

Much like when they had Family Ties or ABC Family had Hogan Family, the ratings have been horrid, so they have the quick trigger to displace or remove it altogether. If it didn't do well in the afternoon, I can't see it surviving in the middle of the night where Cheers airs for hours.

in the afternoon for, what, two weeks or so? That's some fast schedule changing- but, I guess cable channels can do that with reruns.

The marathon fared OK, hence its joining the schedule.
