dare2be 05-02-2016, 08:31 AM I can't believe this isn't being discussed more. I have been waiting for The Ghost and Mrs. Muir to air for many years now!
Svenfan1234 05-02-2016, 09:30 AM Do "Tour of Duty" and "The Equalizer" have the music edits like they do on the DVDs? And are they the full-length, all the eps of "In the Heat of the Night"?
Samme 05-02-2016, 09:36 AM GetTV deserves a lot of credit for not just bringing back the same old shows. They think differently. I'll be watching the Jimmy Stewart Show and Riptide.
The Equalizer is bad ass.

So true. Now if they would just bring back Herman's Head and Picket Fences...I know it's not their demographic or timeframe, but still... :)
Svenfan1234 05-02-2016, 12:49 PM I know. I can't wait to see In The Heat of the Night again at 7! It appears to be Sony, CBS and MGM for now but that may change. Hopefully they'll get stuff from Universal and 20th Fox, so we can see Marcus Welby, M.D. and The Paper Chase again!
MRPITT 05-04-2016, 02:09 PM Unfortunately The Tour Of Duty episodes appear to be the same as DVD with the music edited out.
Mr. Television 05-04-2016, 02:46 PM Unfortunately The Tour Of Duty episodes appear to be the same as DVD with the music edited out.
Well I believe the theme song was replaced when it was in syndication before. That might have been permanently changed for syndication. I agree the music is awful. Don't know about the rest of the music but it wouldn't surprise me.
Patty Duke 05-04-2016, 03:06 PM It would be nice if they had the original music was on it but I'll settle for show anyway I can get it.
RetrovisionPrince 05-04-2016, 04:17 PM That is the original Tour of Duty Theme song that getTV is airing just like on TNT when they aired it and CBS where it originally aired.
But i like to point out that getTV did skip the theme song to Hardcastle & McCormick today but didn't on the first episode, So sorry about that

The theme song on CBS was "Paint It, Black" by The Rolling Stones.

Torgo 05-04-2016, 07:12 PM My wife and I have been watching Riptide, Hardcastle & McCormick, The Nanny And The Professor, The Ghost And Mrs. Muir, and The Jimmy Stewart Show.
She hadn't seen Riptide, or Hardcastle before, but knows they're both childhood faves of mine.
Both of us had seen The Nanny And The Professor and The Ghost And Mrs. Muir when we were kids.
Jimmy Stewart has been enjoyable, had never seen this one before.
MRPITT 05-04-2016, 10:48 PM That is the original Tour of Duty Theme song that getTV is airing just like on TNT when they aired it and CBS where it originally aired.
Thats not true. They are not playing the orignal "Paint It Black" theme they have instrumental music. It appears they have replaced most of the music.
tvfreak1987 05-05-2016, 11:29 AM Haven't noticed any music missing from The Equalizer yet. But it's still early.
The Equalizer is bad ass.
LOL I agree. McCall is awesome.
Becca3557 05-05-2016, 12:48 PM I just noticed this morning! Most are shows I haven't seen in a long time.
DJM77 05-05-2016, 07:48 PM I'll probably watch some GetTV tomorrow.

I enjoyed watching The Jimmy Stewart Show, Nanny And The Professor and The Ghost & Mrs. Muir today, especially The Jimmy Stewart Show. I just wish they weren't on so early. The rest of those shows I don't have any interest in.

Thank goodness for my DVR or I would never get to see these shows.
Coffeecup 05-13-2016, 08:43 PM Dare and DJM, I am with you. Never been much of drama show watcher. The half hour show are a little easier to see. Less time. Hopefully I will get this station within the year. I would like it. Don't have it yet.

I taped them when they originally aired so I don't care.
LUNCH 05-18-2016, 02:51 PM I don't have this channel but it seems interesting.The Jimmy Stewart Show for instance,I don't know if that was ever shown in reruns. They also air some nice classic movies.While glancing at their schedule,unless I misread it I noticed that they run a number of their half hour TV shows off the clock in 35-40 minute time slots which is never good.The DVR can solve that problem.Still I don't like when channels do that because sometimes you just want to watch the show without having to record it.All in all though seems like a good channel to have.

It IS a good thing they are showing these old classic half hour shows in 35-40 minute time slots. It means they are airing the original episodes uncut and not gutting them to make more room for commercials. If they need to air a certain amount of commercial time per hour, then this is the only way to solve it. I wouldn't have it any other way. TVLand does something similar.

TVLand heavily edits it's shows the same amount whether they run them off the clock or not. As far as Get TV goes I don't know if they're showing them uncut or not.

I have been recording Ghost & Mrs. Muir and after cutting out commercials, total run time is just under 25 minutes. Definitely uncut or close to uncut in this case.

dare2be 06-21-2016, 09:24 AM GetTV really butchered today's episode of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, ignoring the regular commercial break points and instead cutting into commercials in the middle of scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if this episode isn't complete. I hope it's not a trend for the rest of the series (15 episodes to go).
dare2be 06-23-2016, 01:08 PM Today's Ghost and Mrs. Muir episode cut to a commercial right in the middle of the title sequence. Someone must be asleep at the wheel.
AceWesternson 06-27-2016, 04:25 PM Credit crunching been going on their tv series, I'm through with this channel and it would be nice if my local station would drops the station from my area. Damn turds >=(
AceWesternson 06-27-2016, 04:57 PM No one pointed out that get TV credit crunches their tv series they are on here now. I'm so done with this channel now thanks alot get TV you damn sony turds >=(
megamanj2004 06-28-2016, 04:30 PM ^^ On top of that they totally butchered up Riptide. They sped up the theme song considerably, sped up some of the scenes in the episodes and used the present-day TV Land-like generic credits at the end of a scene on episodes.
dare2be 06-28-2016, 04:50 PM So far they haven't messed with Ghost and Mrs Muir AFAICT
...aside from the occasional strange commercial break cuts in the middle of scenes or title sequence.
AceWesternson 06-28-2016, 08:18 PM I hate that they fixed something that wasn't even broken
KurtfromPitts 06-29-2016, 11:02 AM Unfortunately GetTV is no longer on our cable system. Antenna TV replaced it last December.

You'd rather have GetTV than Antenna TV?!!?!! I wish I could trade with you. I would pay good money to be able to get Antenna TV.
DJM77 07-12-2016, 06:31 PM Get TV replaced Jimmy Stewart with "Ensign O"Toole" this week. From 1962-63, the cast is pretty good: Dean Jones, Jack Albertson, Harvey Lembeck, Jack Mullaney, Jay C. Flippen, Robert Sorrells, and young Beau Bridges. All I remember of this is the opening credits, so it'll be interesting to have a look at it so many years later.
Looks like they just ran through the Stewart show twice. It seemed better than I remembered from when I was young. I thought it was just a saccharine family show, but now it seems that they were trying for "whimsy," as in the old My World and Welcome to It. When Stewart and John McGiver were on the screen they were able to hit that mark, but the rest of the cast really didn't seem to have any comedic ability at all.
I really wanted to see all of the episodes of The Jimmy Stewart Show and I assumed that I would eventually get to, but I guess it won't happen now unless I end up buying the DVD. I managed to view 8 of them. I enjoyed what I saw. I watched a little of Ensign O'Toole recently. Not worth waking up early for and not worth recording.
Mr. Television 07-19-2016, 03:02 PM I don't get how Gettv can get Ensign O'Toole and yet Antenna TV had to scratch Farmer's Daughter.

The gettv I watch doesnt crunch their credits.
AceWesternson 08-01-2016, 08:36 PM The gettv I watch doesnt crunch their credits.
Yeah they do
MRPITT 08-01-2016, 10:29 PM Yeah they do
lol, not the shows I watch. none of them. And I watch 4-5 shows on the channel everyday
Nanny and the Professor-No credit crunch
Ensign O'Toole-No credit crunch
Ghost and Mrs. Muir-No credit crunch
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers-no credit crunch
James28 08-06-2016, 02:03 PM This thread (http://sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?p=5145084#post5145084) was started about Nanny and the Professor having a TV-PG content rating. One user on that thread assumed that it was the channel/network that assigns the content ratings to the programs airing on them.
Some time ago, I noticed that the mid-1970s TV series S.W.A.T. had a TV-14 content rating. What? A TV series from 1975 was given a TV-14?
Most pre-1980 TV series would usually get either a TV-G rating or a TV-PG rating, and anything from that era that would get a TV-14 rating are the feature movies (which are usually edited for content). At the time of its original airing, S.W.A.T. was considered to be the most violent show on television, even though the violence depicted on S.W.A.T. would actually be mild by today's television standards. Also, Hondo, a western series from late 1967, also has a TV-14 rating when it airs on GetTV.
I wonder what's so bad about S.W.A.T. and Hondo that they had to earn a TV-14 content rating? :confused:

SWAT is bad for kids. In fact that's what got it cancelled. It was pretty popular especially with the kids of that time. We'd go out and imitate them. Apparently it was too violent to be on TV in the 70's.
MRPITT 08-08-2016, 11:11 AM I watched Father Murphy yesterday I havent seen it in years. I really enjoyed Merlin Olsen.
FWIW: Father Murphy has the full end credits as a matter of fact I have yet to see a show on GETTV that did crunch credits so not sure why one would come on here and blatantly lie about it.
