TV Land is a "piece of sh*T" of a cable network anytime they are airing a 4 hour marathon for a man who had two sitcoms that lasted a total of 15 years. This may have been the final straw for me


Please do the right thing Antenna TV.

how about doing a mixture of Marathons with the Jeffersons and Amen?

Sounds good to me but with only 4 hours I rather it be the jeffersons. IT really should be a weekend marathon

So there will be a marathon on friday from 8pm to 2am of the Jeffersons and 2am to 3am of Amen

Then Sh*tLand's marathon on Saturday from 12pm to 4pm

I don't blame you for being pis*ed. 4 hours is an insult. If this is their sorry-as*ed idea of a tribute don't even bother. When Davy Jones died Antenna did a 29 hr marathon showing the entire Monkees series. And when Ernest Borgnine passed, they did a 21 hour salute of McHale's Navy. Whatta class act Antenna is. And they're not even a premium channel.

Antenna doesn't air the Jeffersons or Amen; All In The Family is their only show with Sherman in it. But if they did air the Jeffersons or Amen you can bet they would have somethin' nice.

I agree. Sherman deserve a better Tribute/Marathon then just Four Hours! 11 Season of Jeffersos and 5 Seasons of Amen adds up to 16 Seasons, then his other TV Appearances on shows Including All In the Family, The fresh Prince, 227 etc. There should be a 24 Hours Marathon of Jesffersons and then the night after that a Four Hours Marathons of his other TV appearances on shows like 227, Fresh Prince and All in the Family along with a Marathon of Amen. He should get the types of Tributes/Marathons that Carroll O'Connor, John Ritter and Beatrice Arthur all got! Hopefully TV ones codes a all Day Jeffersons Marathon and not just Four Hours. Isabel Sanford also only got a four Hour Marathon after she died in 2004. He is a legend.

You know if Bill Cosby has Died(And I am not trying to be mean anything) But TV Land would already have a 48 Hours Cosby Show Marathon in place form Saturday to Monday and Nick @ Nite would be planning a all night Cosby show Marathon. TV One and Centric would be planning a Best of Bill Cosby Marathon. TBS and GMC would be planning Cosby (1996 Show) Marathon right now.

Well I;m not going to criticize Antenna TV yet because I;m still waiting for their announcement so I will wait and see if it's a marathon of All in the Family eps

Now what would be REALLY nice is an Antenna marathon of all the AITF eps with Sherman in them. Would definitely be more than the four hours that dip-sh*t TVL is offering.

Maybe it will change since a lot of people on facebook were complaining

I think i will be All in the Family because I don't think Antenna TV has the rights to the Jeffersons

yeah, your probably right! i'm sorry that you think TV Land is currently an abomination of a cable network for classic tv shows.

i bet that TV Land also half-a**ed the Andy Griffith Marathon when he passed away right?

Why isn't sherman getting a weekend-thon like andy griffith did when he passed?

Andy Griffith's tribute marathon on TV Land was much better than Sherman Hemsley's?

LOL TVLAND is getting blasted for this on FB :D

He definitely deserves a better tribute.

He definitely deserves a better tribute.

i agree with you on that but maybe their not giving Helmsley the tribute he deserves because i guess that The Jeffersons air on TV Land everyday i suppose.


also has TV Land aired Amen before?

I believe they did a few years back.

in what year did TV Land started airing the reruns of Amen?

Not sure. I wish I was.

Not sure. I wish I was.


that's okay.

TV Land never aired Amen. I just wish Antenna TV had the Jeffersons. But maybe they'll play some of his memorable appearances on All in the Family.

I wish my local CW station that airs the Jeffersons would do a marathon, but I doubt it. They'll probably just continue to show it in its regular time.

He definitely deserves at least a 48 hour marathon on any network. Sherman Hemsley was very famous. Was very popular among whites and blacks.

TV One should definitely do something.

Antenna TV is airing 6 of his All in the Family episodes in primetime on Sunday.

i agree with you on that but maybe their not giving Helmsley the tribute he deserves because i guess that The Jeffersons air on TV Land everyday i suppose.

That's sound like a bunch of BULL

TV One and TV Land are pathetic

I still don't understand why Sherman Hemsely (and The Jeffersons) have always been considered "B" list. It's not that they are disrespected, but they are not held in as high regard as so many other shows. I know it is all a matter of personal taste, but just to give an example, I never liked The Andy Griffith Show that much. But it's on TV more often than TJ and the entire series has been on DVD for years now. TJ still has five seasons that may never be on hard media. TJ deserves more exposure. I guess you could say it has always been overshadowed by its parent show, AITF, but it is still a classic. TJ changed television forever, just like its parent.

TVLand has been disappointing for years now. 2006 was the beginning of the end for that show. They have more and more reality shows and less and less classic TV. Sure they have tried to start up some new shows, but most of those are lame. I commend them for trying, but it's just not the same. These other networks like Antenna TV and Retro TV are a little better and are trying to preserve classic TV, but they don't have the size and influence of TVLand, who has dropped the ball big time.

Not only is Sh*tland giving a short marathon, but they are airing it at 12pm to 4pm so they can be done with the show and air TAGS

I can see everyone's point. How long do you think the marathon should last? I mean I dont mind Andy Griffith but 8 hrs. on Saturday? Dont you think thats a lot?

Actually, something that I dont think anybody has pointed out is have you noticed, at least with the Andy Griffith Show marathon, that they show the same episodes over again. They'll show maybe 4 hrs. worth of episodes and then they'll repeat those episodes. If they have a 8 hr. marathon, show 16 different episodes.

It should have atleast been 12pm to 8pm. Back in 2006 TV land has a weekend labor day marathon which lasted 3 days. Now that the star of the show has passed they only air 4 hours???

If it was me, I would cancel whatever else was on and play the entire series in its entirety along with a tribute. I would also release the entire series on dvd.

It sucks that someone has to die for a DVD release to come out

Yeah, I think they should make it a law. If you release one season. You should have to release every season. They shouldn't release it because someone dies. But because it was a great show.

And for a production company to want to make money off someone's death is just wrong.

Also very unjust, and insulting to all that know right from wrong.
