View Full Version : Antenna TV has done it once again
BigManMike 05-24-2013, 02:50 PM They're showing a stupid war movie marathon all day Memorial Day and I have to miss Diff'rent Strokes again for a stupid marathon and this time it's 4 of the usual 6 episodes each week. I am so unhappy with them. I think the block parties were a bad move. If they were going to change them this time, they should have kept Diff'rent Strokes on Wednesday, put All in the Family on Friday, and moved the black and white shows to Saturday and gotten rid of the stupid movie block on Saturday nights. They show too many movies.

My main issue with Antenna TV is that they don't show sitcoms on Saturday and never understood why.
MRPITT 05-24-2013, 03:26 PM While I am not a huge fan of War Movies. I have had friends and relatives die fighting for our country and I use this time to remember them even if only for One Day.
I wont miss Anold, Willis and Mr. D that day, but there are people that will be missed.

Wait! Don't they have something on their Saturday/Sunday afternoon block?
mets82 05-27-2013, 08:13 PM Antenna TV does show too many movies but I can understand today showing them. After all, it is Memorial Day.
icecream 05-27-2013, 09:36 PM Wait! Don't they have something on their Saturday/Sunday afternoon block?Yes, from 1-5PM both days they show McHale's Navy, Gidget, The Flying Nun, and The Monkees. The Saturday sitcom time would be less though than the other days.
ThomasE 05-28-2013, 11:28 AM Yes, from 1-5PM both days they show McHale's Navy, Gidget, The Flying Nun, and The Monkees. The Saturday sitcom time would be less though than the other days.
OK. That's what I thought. I always thought that they had an afternoon schedule block.
TVFactFan 05-28-2013, 11:35 AM OK. That's what I thought. I always thought that they had an afternoon schedule block.
Those are sunday afternoon type of sitcoms
BigManMike 05-28-2013, 11:55 AM And now they're gonna have a Father Knows Best marathon on Father's Day which will again get in the way of Diff'rent Strokes. It seems since this last schedule change they have had some kind of marathon every other week and it has been on a day DS is on. I've about had it and if they keep this up I will quit watching Antenna TV and just buy the Diff'rent Strokes DVDs.

That would be a good move if the show was complete on DVD lol

Benson should not be preempted so often, the time works for me but with all the marathons and only airing 2 episodes a week it will take forever to get through the show. Father Knows Best is overrated, there are better shows they could have chosen for a marathon, especially with FKB having aired last year as well.
TVFactFan 05-28-2013, 02:37 PM So No different strokes until 6/4 since I will be out on Sunday.
BigManMike 08-26-2013, 12:09 PM And now they've got to show their stupid annual Jerry Lewis movie marathon on Labor Day. What's even dumber, is that they are repeating the same 4 movies 3 times that day. They could have just shown them Saturday night and gone on with their normal schedule.

Nothing new, they never show anything good on a holiday. This station is quickly becoming TV Land's cousin
mets82 08-27-2013, 03:09 PM Solomon, be careful what you wish for. lol
I dont think Antenna TV is going down TV Land's path but there Saturday night primetime lineup has a lot to be desired.

It's too simliar TV Land for me
1. Sh*tty weekend schedule
2. Schedule stays the same too long
BigManMike 08-27-2013, 08:29 PM That's true. 2011 was a great year, but 2013 has been very disappointing. They haven't been adding many new shows and they keep airing they same old shows over and over again. I wish they would show more Diff'rent Strokes and Benson. I like All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, Sanford and Son, Partridge Family, Dennis the Menace, and WKRP, but they have been on so long they really could use a break. I also like Hazel which has been on a while but it's never been on at a good time for me. Barney Miller is ok. The other shows I really don't care much about. They certainly need to get rid of their Saturday shows.

Good Times don't need to be on Cable or Digital TV at all in the next 10 years
MrCleveland 08-27-2013, 10:13 PM I just hope one day, they (Antenna TV) shows the spin-off of "Diff'rnt Strokes"..."The Facts of Life".
Nighthawk76 11-22-2013, 04:23 PM Until Antenna TV started showing Diff'rent Strokes I hadn't seen most of the episodes in 25 years. I even went out and bought the second season on DVD, after getting into the show again on Antenna. :) I think Ant TV is doing good. :)
Nighthawk76 11-22-2013, 04:24 PM I just hope one day, they (Antenna TV) shows the spin-off of "Diff'rnt Strokes"..."The Facts of Life".
That would be great! :D
tlc38tlc38 11-22-2013, 04:32 PM I just hope one day, they (Antenna TV) shows the spin-off of "Diff'rnt Strokes"..."The Facts of Life".
I wish The Hub would air it again, especially seasons 6-9.
tlc38tlc38 11-22-2013, 04:34 PM Good Times don't need to be on Cable or Digital TV at all in the next 10 years
I agree. "Good Times" has been shown TOO much. It could use a few years off.
TVFactFan 11-22-2013, 06:13 PM I agree. "Good Times" has been shown TOO much. It could use a few years off.
It needs to be gone for the next 10 years:lol:
Wawwie 11-25-2013, 05:59 AM It needs to be gone for the next 10 years:lol:
Good Times is ALWAYS on TV One.
TVFactFan 11-25-2013, 02:08 PM Good Times is ALWAYS on TV One.
Yup since January of 2004
ThomasE 11-25-2013, 02:11 PM Yup since January of 2004
You guys, Good Times has been on TV ONE for almost ten years because it is doing well. Just because one may want it off does not mean that others do. I'm fine with it being on there. Antenna TV has it too. I can't hate. It seems to be doing great on both networks.

Like my mom said, someone who was 7 in 2004 is now 16 and just seeing the show for the first time. New fans
Mace Dolex 12-30-2013, 02:38 PM It's odd that Diff'rent Strokes seems to be the only 80's show on AntennaTV since they took Benson off the schedule.

Maybe it's because that's the only one people are watching
ThomasE 12-30-2013, 09:11 PM Didn't realize that DS was the only one. Dang!
