We already have some Fall 2012 scheduling news for Antenna TV! They will showcase two more all-time favorite sitcoms to their line-up with the airings this fall of '70s classic Barney Miller and '80s staple Benson. Antenna TV, which airs on 65 affiliates across the U.S. reaching 60% of TV households, adds both programs to the network's Sunday night schedule starting Sunday, September 9, 2012. Barney Miller, with Hal Linden heading up an ensemble cast, originally aired on ABC from 1975 to 1982 and will air on Antenna TV Sundays at 8-9pm ET/5-6pm PT. Benson, with Robert Guillaume in the lead role, aired from 1979 to 1986 on ABC, as a spin-off from Soap. Antenna TV will air the series as back-to-back hours on Sunday nights, with Soap continuing to air at 11pm-12am ET/8-9pm PT and Benson following at midnight-1am ET/9pm-10pm PT.

The rest of the Antenna TV Fall 2012 schedule will be announced later this summer, as part of our annual Fall cable schedule barrage starting in mid to late July. Will there be any more new additions, time slot changes, or more airings of Barney Miller/Benson? Stay tuned! The Antenna TV schedule will continue to include vintage favorites such as Leave It To Beaver, Father Knows Best, Good Times, Three's Company and All In The Family.

They haven't cancelled Maude yet so I'm confident we will see a full cycle of Benson.

Does anybody know if Antenna runs their sitcoms uncut?

No they have the same edits as local stations

A few shows air unedited. The first few of Soap for sure was unedited.

What's is your proof that it was unedited? Do you have the Soap DVD?

Yes, I do. And they showed the rare "disclaimer" that aired on ABC before the opening credits. That wasn't even on the DVD.

why are certain unedited and others are not?

Probably Sony gave it to them that way.

After it was revealed that the Jeffersons and Three's Company has edited eps on DVD, the only real proof is a ABC episode

Thanks, Pavan and TVFactFan.

Cutting is why I generally just deal with DVD's.
Hopefully the remaining seasons of Benson will be released on DVD -- soon. Ideally all the seasons at the same time.
Benson is a good, clean show that is still still relevant and funny today.

Good to know. I haven't really been watching Soap on Sunday nights- maybe I'll do so when Benson starts airing.
