Since 2002, I can't remember any other time but now that so many old classic tv shows are available to watch in syndication which is a beautiful thing for us tv fans. When was the last time all of classic sitcoms were able to be viewed on TV all in the same year???

Mary Tyler Moore
Bob Newhart
Good Times
Jeffersons
Sanford and Son
Three's Company
Facts of Life
Happy Days
Laverne and Shirley
Mork and Mindy
WKRP In Cincinnati
Maude
All in the Family
Mchale's Navy
Dennis the Menance
Family Ties
Wonder Years
Family Matters
227
Cosby Show


Also there may be another TV land celebration of Norman Lear sitcoms since he turns 90 in August. I can't remember a year with so many classic sitcoms on at the same time.

I will admit there are quite few that I haven't seen in awhile. "This TV" has Highway Patrol, Sea Hunt, Patty Duke, Mr Ed and Outer Limits all on in the early morning where I live. I remember seeing Highway Patrol with my mom in its rerun days of the early 1960's and haven't seen it til now. Since I was so young I didn't really understand it, so now, I should tape it for its on so early, 5am. Then Me Tv has a few good shows. Although quite a few I haven't seen since they were first on. Some of the Me shows are replaced with retromericals so some I just can't watch. On another show my mom would watch was Perry Mason. Its funny to remember what shows your parents watched when you were little.

I still get really upset with Nick and Nick at Nite. While Friends, Everybody Love Raymond, and other shows they air are good shows, they're not CLASSIC and NOSTALGIC yet. They will be, not refuting that. But I want shows from the 80's on damn it. I want The Hogan Family, Perfect Strangers, Mr. Belvedere, Growing Pains, Head of the Class.

It's hard for me to see shows that I don't like. Several stations shows the same shows. Never cared for Mash or Bob Newhart. Then there are some shows I would like to see in this area on Me Tv and they are blocked out by infomercials. I liked Laverne & Shirley in my younger years when i was 18 by now see the show and find the characthers holler a lot. Personally I would rather see a early 60 or late 50's show to a mid 80s comedy.

All the shows being aired in syndication this year are from the 50's to the 80's
