View Full Version : Antenna TV has finally added a new show in the spring but...
TVFactFan 01-20-2012, 08:17 PM It's not replacing Good Times, Sanford and Son, or All in the Family. But any kind of change is good when a programming schedule for a channel has been the same for so long.
But I'm looking forward to watching WKRP in Cincinnati in April, another sitcom from the 70's I haven't had a chance to sample. Maybe it does well and can be added to the weekday.: http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2012/01/natpe-2012-day-1-has-wkrp-in-cincinnati.html

I'd pick
Alice

I just wish they'd take the movies off. That way they wouldn't have to get rid of anything.

The only show I watch on ANTTV is Maude and if they take that off then I won't watch the channel at all

And you're too lazy to try Soap and Too Close for Comfort. Those are rare and haven't been seen on TV in years, but you always fail to mention that.
Pavan 01-22-2012, 01:04 PM I'll have to go check. lol.
Nothing to check, cause he was lying. The blog tomorrow will have the details.

I thought SOAP was gone. I keep forgetting about Too Close for Comfort

See you complain, yet have no idea what is on nor what the schedule is! Soap airs every Sunday night at 11pm-12am and they just started with episode 1 again.
Too Close for Comfort airs Fri & Sun, four times a week. Fridays 8-9pm & encore 12-1am and Sundays 7-8pm & encore 12-1am.
And MeTV has rights to Bob Newhart, so Antenna TV can't air it.

Well why is hallmark able to air Bob Newhart then?
And you know that 11pm to 12am is a bad slot for a NBA and NFL fan to sample a new show. I think that would only work for me in the summertime.

Hallmark is cable. MeTV and Antenna TV are NOT cable networks...they are digital broadcast networks. And Soap started in June, so why didn't you watch it in the summer??? It aired from 10pm-12am all summer. You're full of it Solomon. Like I said, if you want to watch it, you'd find a way. Timeslots don't matter.
BigManMike 01-22-2012, 05:30 PM I watched Soap some in the summer, but I haven't watched it in a while. I try to watch Too Close for Comfort whenever possible. I watched it on Friday. All the shows they have are great. It's the movies I don't really care much about. I can't wait to see what's coming this spring.
I would like to sample WKRP in Cincinnati one day
Well good news on there facebook page they just announced that WKRP is coming this spring.
MRPITT 01-23-2012, 01:07 PM Thats awesome, I just hope they have it with original music!
TVFactFan 01-23-2012, 01:08 PM Well good news on there facebook page they just announced that WKRP is coming this spring.
I just hope it's not airing at 8am in the morning and during the primetime hours

It will be airing from 7pm-9pm on Sundays at least here in California.

Good Sampling Time
TVFactFan 01-23-2012, 01:34 PM Good to see Antenna TV is changing but it's not replacing one of those LEAR SITCOMS so nothing is really changing but it's a start I guess.
Guess if you are a TV network if a show is doing well it keep it on there for 10 years regardless of the viewing public seen 88 cycles of the show.

It's funny that one of the shows on your replacement is being added-lol Did Antenna tV contact you??-lol
MRPITT 01-23-2012, 01:56 PM I have a friend who works for Tribune who claimed in November that they were trying to acquire WKRP it so I was hopefully optimistic, he has also said they were trying to acquire rights to Warner Bros. shows Alice, Welcome Back Kotter and Chico and the Man and I havent heard nothing about those shows yet so perhaps it didnt work out.

I started recording Welcome Back Kotter off TV Land in 2002 but I lost all the tapes
icecream 01-23-2012, 03:29 PM WKRP replacing Married with Children is an excellent move!
TVFactFan 01-23-2012, 03:31 PM WKRP replacing Married with Children is an excellent move!
I had no idea MWC was on Antenna TV since it was removed from the weekday schedule.
With the way they treat Three's Company, I'm surprised Antenna TV didn't also secure the rights to The New WKRP in Cincinnati.

Probably because The New WKRP in cincinnati is not a spinoff. It was a revival series

brtcmfn 01-23-2012, 08:29 PM Kudo's for Antenna TV for bringing another classic back.
Wonder if it will have the original music in it?
Finally will be able to see the famous "I thought turkey's could fly" episode again this year :D

The only time original music is not heard is when it's released on DVD or aired on Cable. Everything should be heard on Antenna TV
Ryan Chamberlain 01-23-2012, 09:17 PM I just don't want them to get rid of Three's Company. Everything else. Don't care.
Can't wait for WKRP though. Love that show.

mets82 01-23-2012, 11:27 PM Good for Antenna TV bringing back WKRP. They are sticking to there roots. Ive watched Soap and Too Close for Comfort, although I watched Too Close for its entire run and that basically it. Maybe I'll watch it once in a while.

Thank you. I love Soap and I haven't seem "Too close" in ages.

Pavan 02-05-2012, 02:26 PM Antenna TV's spring schedule will be available in the next few weeks, and we will bring it to you first. It's going to launch in late March.
Hint: Too Close for Comfort is moving to weekdays. (You better watch it now, Solomon)

If it's in primetime between 6pm and 8pm then yes i will
BigManMike 02-05-2012, 03:25 PM Glad to see Too Close for Comfort coming to weekdays, but a little disappointed WKRP is the only new show. I've never seen it before, but I can give it a try. I just wish they would have added more than one show. I really want Diff'rent Strokes and the Facts of Life real bad.
Pavan 02-05-2012, 07:08 PM I just wish they would have added more than one show. I really want Diff'rent Strokes and the Facts of Life real bad.
All in due time. They have already a lot of shows bought. Possibly in January 2013 when lots of deals expire, more shows will come in.

Jan 2013???????????, you got to be kidding me
icecream 02-06-2012, 01:41 AM If it's in primetime between 6pm and 8pm then yes i willThat's not primetime, it's the news and access hours leading into primetime. ;)

Not true at all. They have had music replacements since day one in syndication and by the late 90s when contracts expired, many more were done.

Well WATCHABLE TIME
LOL
Pavan 02-06-2012, 08:26 PM It's on at a "watchable time" right now on Friday and Sunday nights, but you're too lazy to watch! Same for Soap on Sunday nights!

friday night at 8pm is usually nba time that's why i said 6pm or 7pm. 7pm would be perfect
