That's kinda an overhaul. Pleased to see Mr. Belvedere back on weekdays and Benson back period alongside Soap.

I just wish Alice and Head of the Class got better slots but... I can always record HOTC and watch it later... not a HUGE deal breaker to me.

And also, I think they'll probably move Alice and Head of the Class later in the spring or summer.

is Sanford n son departing to I don't see it on the schedule

The 227 marathon on 2/27 is pretty clever.

I think This Schedule look mostly full of single airings during the day and night except when Johnny Carson is on. Having Alice, Coach, Silver Spoons, Hogan Family & Murphy Brown being added to the schedule & Benson returning was a right call for Antenna TV. Too Bad Green Acres, The Jeffersons, All in the Family, One Day at a Time & Newhart are not on here but Antenna TV didnt mention the status of Good Times and Sanford & Son though. Wait till METV unveil their Winter 2018 Schedule.

Oops... Good Times and Sanford & Son were my bad. I made the departing shows list by clicking back and forth, comparing the new and current schedules myself and I missed those.

I like the single airings better than the double.

I don't know about you but I love there M-F afternoon schedule from about 2-7 pm. Welcome Back Kotter, Head of the Class, The Hogan Family, 227, Webster, are all shows that I like. I think Antenna TV did a good job.

Antenna TV is about 1,000% better than that LOGO that hacks shows up!

Looks like some good shows are being pulled, that's a shame.

For many of them, it's time they were rested for awhile. But, Newhart, Dear John, & One Day at a Time I'm sad are leaving for now.

I'm gonna definitely block Antenna TV on every television in my house after the New Years Eve Newhart marathon is over. The fact that my mom doesn't know the parental control pin will make it easy. She says that she is looking forward to Coach but that's tough s**t bi**h

I’m surprised Maude is still on the schedule while all the other Norman Lear shows are gone. I wonder if any of them are moving to MeTV?

Good question. My MeTV account isn't working right now or I'd try to answer that.

Interesting that both "Good Morning World" and "Joey Bishop" have missed the older show axe, while rerun staples like "Patty Duke" didn't. If you ever see the Facebook posts for Antenna TV, "Joey Bishop" must lead the "show you hate" brigade. (For what it's worth, I don't mind Joey and actually like the first season episodes.)

all they need is Charles in charge and whos the boss have the housekeeper block with gimme a break n mr belvedere

all they need is Charles in charge and whos the boss have the housekeeper block with gimme a break n mr belvedere

Oh wow!!! I would love it if they would get Who's the boss!:) Way cool about Gimme a break! I haven't seen GAB in years! :)

I thought Antenna said once that Who's the Boss would be coming in 2018 sometime.

Interesting they are moving the Carson shows to 11:30pm - his old slot :)

Now if they'll hopefully rotate in some "New" episodes (60 and 90 minutes) as they have been cycling the same (large) group of episodes for sometime now.

It's also interesting in what shows are staying - has "I Dream of Jeannie" and "Bewitched" EVER been OFF the channel since they started?

I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched have never been off as far as I know. "Three's Company" is also one I don't think has been off or rested since it returned to Antenna years ago.

threes company should be before 3s a crowd n ropers

I personally love the new schedule (very reminiscent of the ION schedule from around 2006), but I have a hard time seeing how this schedule is going match the ratings performance of the previous schedules. None of these new shows were ratings hits beyond their original airings.

Assuming the overnight and weekend arings are repeats of the weekday airings, its going to take until the end of October to get through the entire cycle of "Alice" (the new show with the most episodes).

Hopefully they can get through a full cycle of these new shows before replacing them with the old, tired standbys that are now "resting".

Murphy Brown has one more season than Alice.

Now I wonder what the rest of the new shows will be.

I am impressed with their January schedule. It is the most variety Antenna has ever had, and most of the Norman Lear shows are finally kicked to the curb! I have never seen Head of the Class, Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family, and Alice, will be checking them out. Head of the Class is my most anticipated of those and is a natural pairing with Welcome Back, Kotter. Benson is my all-time favorite sitcom and it gets a nice primetime weeknight slot, Murphy Brown and Coach also have good slots. My Two Dads also gets a nice weeknight slot and Mr. Belvedere returns to weekdays. Well done! I will miss Newhart, The Addams Family, Patty Duke, and Green Acres, but there are plenty of other good shows on the lineup that I will enjoy.

I'm gonna definitely block Antenna TV on every television in my house after the New Years Eve Newhart marathon is over. The fact that my mom doesn't know the parental control pin will make it easy. She says that she is looking forward to Coach but that's tough s**t bi**hShame on you! Your mother deserves better treatment, and no one should ever call their mother a bitch.

Shame on you! Your mother deserves better treatment, and no one should ever call their mother a bitch.
You're right, that was very wrong of me to do.

I wish that "Newhart" and "One Day at a Time" were staying on the schedule. Certainly they could find spots in the "Ropers" and "3s a Crowd" timeslots. Do those really need to be on there???

And also : is MeTV adding any new shows in January?

i sure hope so they need some badly

I'll probably get blasted from this but I think One Day...can take a break.

i love the schedule overall, Im interesting in seeing benson, soap and growing pains since i never seen the shows before and oh even alice ill be interest in seeing. Im happy that Gimme a Break is on, i havent watch that in years. I just wish they would of kept Three Stooges though i love taping them sunday morning.

oh and im so glad they stop the hour of the shows too, its more variety and its the best schedule i seen since maybe the nick at nite days. You dont need an hour or even 4 hour schedule of the same show like LOGO does, when u have all these awesome shows some that havent seen the light of day in years. I agree that Whos the boss should come on this channel and i would love to see Perfect Strangers too.

Don't worry about Green Acres too much its going to be on Metv. They did get the rights back and it should be on in the January schedule, and im looking forward to the Metv schedule because now they will want to compete with Antenna TV. So good luck to them, they dont have the variety that Antenna TV has, I just hope that Metv can keep showing My three sons. They are only on season 6, they started the color episodes, it would be nice for once to see all 12 seasons of it.

I’m eager to see the new MeTV schedule.

Same here.

If you ever see the Facebook posts for Antenna TV, "Joey Bishop" must lead the "show you hate" brigade. (For what it's worth, I don't mind Joey and actually like the first season episodes.)

I also like The Joey Bishop Show. Some episodes aren't that great but overall it's a fun show. And in some ways, I think it's funnier than The Dick Van Dyke Show. The Van Dyke Show tends to focus too much on trying to be witty and sophisticated, while Bishop's show tends to focus more on fun and laughter. I have the retail DVD set of Joey Bishop Show season 2, and I made my own DVD's of seasons 1, 3 and 4 from the Antenna TV airings since it's questionable if those seasons will ever get released on DVD.

Regarding the new shows that will be on Antenna TV starting in January, the only one I'm interested to see is Alice, the others aren't to my liking so I won't be watching.

I’m surprised Maude is still on the schedule while all the other Norman Lear shows are gone. I wonder if any of them are moving to MeTV?

I think it was said on metv Facebook that green acres coming in 2018 or 2019

Sad to see the Norman Lear shows gone. They are funny as hell

I think it was said on metv Facebook that green acres coming in 2018 or 2019

2018

I'm glad that the show listed are departing; they've been on Antenna a long time, and it's time to make room for new shows. Hope they're still keeping WINGS.

While the offerings are good, the schedule looks disjointed and unorganized.

I know "Green Acres" is supposed to be coming to MeTV in 2018, maybe "Newhart" will, also.

Don't worry about Green Acres too much its going to be on Metv.

MeTV will never have the variety that Antenna TV has as long as they keep the westerns stinking up ALL of the daytime schedule.

I'm glad that the show listed are departing; they've been on Antenna a long time, and it's time to make room for new shows. Hope they're still keeping WINGS.The schedule is in the link on the first post. Wings will be weeknights at 9:30PM and weekends at 5:30PM.

The schedule IS very disjointed. I would've done something like this for Weekdays:
1PM Family Ties
1:30PM Maude
2PM Three's Company
2:30PM Webster
3PM What's Happening!
3:30PM 227
4PM Gimme a Break!
4:30PM My Two Dads
5PM Head of the Class
5:30PM Hogan Family
6PM Silver Spoons
6:30PM Alice

Solid schedule overall IMO. Need to see Me-TV's schedule now LOL.

Yeah! METV really should start playing some Westerns! They never have before as far as I know??? :crazy: It would be a welcome change!! ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D

6PM Silver Spoons
6:30PM AliceI like Antenna's schedule. The best part is pairing Welcome Back Kotter and Head of the Class. Three's Company doesn't have anything in common with Webster, it makes sense to pair it with a racy show like Soap. Family Ties and Maude both mention politics but other than that are different, Family Ties is a much gentler show that has often been compared to Growing Pains. What I would most want to change about their schedule is replacing Becker with Newhart at 10:30PM, Newhart would be a natural lead-in to Coach and has also been paired with Murphy Brown in the original CBS run.

The 227 marathon on 2/27 is pretty clever.

I'll say it is-- 227 airing on a date that has the same numbers as the title!

I'll say it is-- 227 airing on a date that has the same numbers as the title!
If Antenna TV is having a 227 marathon on 2/27, I really wish Newhart was called 72, so then it would have a marathon on 7/2, my birthday. Lol

A few guesses....

MASH 7pm ET
Hogans Heroes 10pm ET
:lol: I think that's a safe guess! ohno:

Snip my pickle and call me schlomo! Coach and Gimme a Break on antenna finally!

Snip my pickle and call me schlomo! Coach and Gimme a Break on antenna finally!

And I requested it on their Facebook page!

Excited to finally see Head of the Class and The Hogan Family again!

I can't wait to see Head of the Class & The Hogan Family for the first time for me!!! The others I've at least seen one episode of but still thrilled about!!! :D

I'm gonna definitely block Antenna TV on every television in my house after the New Years Eve Newhart marathon is over. The fact that my mom doesn't know the parental control pin will make it easy. She says that she is looking forward to Coach but that's tough s**t bi**h

Hey be nice, get her the complete series for Christmas and stop being selfish.

Both great shows.

MeTV will never have the variety that Antenna TV has as long as they keep the westerns stinking up ALL of the daytime schedule.

:) I take it you're not a Western fan! :) But it will be a sad day when Gunsmoke is not on daily! :) :wave:

Cool. I :heart: WINGS!

:) I take it you're not a Western fan! :) But it will be a sad day when Gunsmoke is not on daily! :) :wave:Gunsmoke is on daily on TV Land, Me-TV, INSP, and probably Encore Westerns. If it disappears from one of those channels will still get plenty of airings elsewhere.

DEPARTING SHOWS: Newhart, Dear John, The Patty Duke Show, Green Acres, The Jeffersons, All in the Family, One Day at a Time, Gidget, The Flying Nun, It's About Time, Good Times, Sanford & Son, The Addams Family, The Monkees

i wish they were keeping the three stooges on the schedule, I was happy it came back now its leaving again, its nice to see it on sunday mornings and its somewhat educational, my lil bro loves this show. I wish they would do their typical new years eve marathon of it like they used to do, and benny hill on new years day.

I wish they would do their typical new years eve marathon of it like they used to do, and benny hill on new years day.The Three Stooges had a marathon on April Fool's Day, so it might have another one then next year. The New Year's Eve marathon actually hasn't aired for several years. For awhile it was Jack Benny and Burns and Allen, this year it got changed to Newhart.

Both my on screen guide and online listings show my Antenna affiliate is switching to ION at 9AM tomorrow. I just sent Antenna a message asking if it was true. I really hope it's an error! I just watched Welcome Back, Kotter tonight, no mention was made of changing networks. And just yesterday Antenna was shown for the next 2 weeks and nothing had been mentioned about it leaving recently. :mad:

I have not heard back from Antenna yet but unfortunately my affiliate dropping them looks true. The channel they had been airing ION on will be LAFF starting at 9AM tomorrow. I like Night Court, but not with losing all the great shows Antenna has and will be coming in January. I couldn't even see LAFF anyway, the number it is listed on has not been on Comcast for awhile, just on the local .3 station. WANE you made a terrible decision, I hope your ratings plummet!! :mad:

Dear John :(

It is official. My good for nothing affiliate has dropped Antenna TV. :mad: :mad: :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear this. If you don't mind me asking, where do you live catsrule?

Sorry to hear this. If you don't mind me asking, where do you live catsrule?Fort Wayne, Indiana

I just blocked 9 pages and 2 people associated with WANE on Facebook, also blocked the channel number Antenna had been airing on. ION already airs on channel 67 and 253, it does not need a local affiliate.

Fort Wayne, Indiana

Good thing it's not New Hampshire, where AntennaTV and Grit were pulled. Oh, and GetTV may have gotten pulled also, but this might have been a long time ago.

TBH, I'm surprised it took them this long. WANE has threatened to drop it how many times in the last couple years? Sorry about that, cat.

I'm so glad Burns and Allen is still there, and at a variety of times! Plus the return of Jack Benny!:)

I doubt some of these "new" shows will last long. As another poster pointed out, many of them have not had much rerun success, getting quickly pulled from schedules.

But I am glad Antenna is over the "every show must be seen in 2 episode blocks" phenomenon.:)

It is official. My good for nothing affiliate has dropped Antenna TV. :mad: :mad: :rolleyes:

How many people live in Fort Wayne? It seems like every one of them is complaining on the Antenna Facebook page.

How many people live in Fort Wayne? It seems like every one of them is complaining on the Antenna Facebook page.I am not sure, but Fort Wayne is the 2nd largest city in Indiana, only Indianapolis is larger. Plus the post from WANE saying Antenna would no longer be carried got over a hundred angry faces and several sad faces as well.

Plus the post from WANE saying Antenna would no longer be carried got over a hundred angry faces and several sad faces as well.

That's good, because as I was reading the Antenna Facebook page I kept thinking the people were focusing their anger in the wrong place.

Sad to see the Norman Lear shows gone. They are funny as hell
Hell isn't funny. So yeah, his shows are funny as hell.

Hell isn't funny. So yeah, his shows are funny as hell.

IOW, not funny-- correct?

I kind of like Small Wonder, but I question adding it to the weekday schedule. That seems like it will be a quick change.

For TWO FREAKING YEARS i've anticipated "Alice" to start on this damn channel and what do they do? Shove her at the godforsaken times of 1pm and 1am!! The first airing when i'm out and the second when i'm fast asleep! WAT??! WHY?!

I was 100% certain she'd get a prime time slot between 8 & 11pm. Silly me for being presumptuous. At least Murphy Brown got respectable treatment airing 10pm. It would have paired perfect with Alice too. Oh well....Antenna TV I have just one thing to say to you....

KISS MY GRITS!!! :mad:

Also, "Three's Company" at 8pm weeknights?! This is asinine! It's one of the most run into the ground, overplayed shows on the network and in dire need of a rest.

This could have been a perfect place to bow "Alice" to, but no. Rather than air a highly anticipated new show MANY have been clamoring for and some haven't seen for decades, in a prime time slot, let's throw an overplayed, tired sitcom that has aired cycle after cycle after cycle there instead! BOO! :(

It makes no sense at all. Wouldn't it be more logical to throw "Three's Company" to the 1pm/1am slot and give that 8PM coveted prime time slot to a newly premiered show?!

Shows like "All in the Family" for years enjoyed having those cushy comfy prime time slots between 8 & 11pm, cycle after cycle, proving that it is indeed a more desirable airing time for shows.

So why on earth it goes to "Three's Company" over "Alice" is beyond my comprehension. I think Antenna TV execs just threw darts at the wall when filling these 2018 time slots.

At least i'll have "Alice" Sunday nights at 10:30pm. Once a week! OH BOY! OH BOY! It will take YEARS to go through the whole series. Thanks Antenna TV!

It is official. My good for nothing affiliate has dropped Antenna TV. :mad: :mad: :rolleyes:
Ouch... I also live in Fort Wayne too, but I never realized or checked anything of Antenna TV lately for months.. Is LAFF replacing WANE Antenna TV? Why would WANE drop Antenna TV from Fort Wayne affiliate?

So much I was lookin forward to watchin The Hogan Family and Head of the Class... and now I can't :(

I have DIRECTV and they have 2 ION channels, one of them is a local channel they offer. I never watch it because I'm not interested in anything they show.

I hate to say this but "MB" will not last long, especially in the 10pm slot. I love the show but it never does well in syndication.

One good thing about antenna TV is they usually show the episodes all the way through even f they change timeslots. A lot of the new shows coming up in January haven't done very well in syndication either.

I hate to say this but "MB" will not last long, especially in the 10pm slot. I love the show but it never does well in syndication.


That's interesting. I wonder if it's because it's too topical and dated. I haven't seen the series since it's original airing decades ago, but I remember how famous the show was for using many topical issues of it's time.

Then again, All In the Family was the same way too....maybe people just don't care much for Candice Bergen lol.

Now if 'Alice' had aired at 10pm i'd have been in hog heaven!! I'm so jealous of west coasters who will get it at that time...Maybe I should just move across the country haha. :rotflmao:

Ouch... I also live in Fort Wayne too, but I never realized or checked anything of Antenna TV lately for months.. Is LAFF replacing WANE Antenna TV? Why would WANE drop Antenna TV from Fort Wayne affiliate?

So much I was lookin forward to watchin The Hogan Family and Head of the Class... and now I can't :(WANE added 2 diginets and got rid of Antenna TV. On Comcast Antenna had been on channel 250. ION is now there, which is a total waste since it already airs on channels 67 and 253. I even like the channel more than a lot of people, but refuse to watch 250 and get WANE's adds. I will stick with 67 for ION. Over the air Antenna had been on 15.2 and ION had been on 15.3. Antenna was yanked from 15.2 and ION replaced it there. LAFF replaced ION on 15.3. While not nearly as good as Antenna, I do like Night Court on LAFF. However, that is only available over the air. Comcast customers do not have access to it. My online listings show LAFF is channel 251, but that number does not exist on Comcast. 251 is where WANE's ION was shown before Antenna was dropped, and that number did not exist on Comcast then either. But LAFF does not have the 2 additional channels that ION did when it was there. Besides LAFF, I think the other diginet WANE added was Escape on 15.4 (not available on Comcast either, but I have no interest in this station.) On the morning Antenna was removed WANE was bragging about offering more entertainment choices now. While they do have one more channel overall, it is not worth it to lose Antenna for LAFF and Escape. They got a lot of flack, when I last checked their Facebook post had almost as many angry faces as likes. A lot of sad faces too, and plenty of negative comments. WANE is a slimy station, they had been trying to get rid of Antenna for over 2 years. I had actually thought they decided to keep Antenna for good, had not heard anything about dropping it for a few months. Then all of a sudden my online listings and onscreen guide show Antenna would be changing to ION at 9AM the next morning. This was different from just a few hours earlier when they showed Antenna for the next two weeks. WANE made an announcement on their newscast that Tuesday night that Antenna would be leaving the next day. However, no mention whatsoever was made on the actual Antenna station that it was changing. For those who do not keep up with listings like I do or watch their main station, it was a complete surprise losing Antenna the next day. Burns and Allen ended, I saw a brief glimpse of The Patty Duke Show, and then the fatal change was made to ION. I really hope WANE's ratings have plunged across the board since this terrible move. I had never seen the 2 shows you mentioned and was looking forward to them, especially Head of the Class. I had really been impressed with Antenna's January lineup and thought it was an improvement over an already great station. Benson in primetime, followed by Wings and Murphy Brown. Welcome Back Kotter and Head of the Class paired together. My Two Dads got a weeknight slot, and I had never seen Silver Spoons either. Mr. Belvedere was back on weeknights at a good time. We also will not be able to see the Newhart and Coach marathons over New Year's unless one of our other locals picks up Antenna this month.

The new schedule is out, and as expected, there are a ton of changes.

NEW SHOWS: Alice, Head of the Class, Gimme a Break, The Hogan Family, Silver Spoons, Growing Pains, Murphy Brown, Coach

RETURNING SHOWS: The Jack Benny Program, McHale's Navy, Soap, Benson

DEPARTING SHOWS: Newhart, Dear John, The Patty Duke Show, Green Acres, The Jeffersons, All in the Family, One Day at a Time, Gidget, The Flying Nun, It's About Time, Good Times, Sanford & Son, The Addams Family, The Monkees

SCHEDULE PDF: http://antennatv.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Antenna_TV_1stQ_2018.pdf

Also, there will be an all day marathon of Coach on New Year's Day and an all day marathon of 227 on 2/27.


BYE Good times. Glad Welcome Back is not on the list

That dumb ass Johnny Carson is not departing:o

I think This Schedule look mostly full of single airings during the day and night except when Johnny Carson is on. Having Alice, Coach, Silver Spoons, Hogan Family & Murphy Brown being added to the schedule & Benson returning was a right call for Antenna TV. Too Bad Green Acres, The Jeffersons, All in the Family, One Day at a Time & Newhart are not on here but Antenna TV didnt mention the status of Good Times and Sanford & Son though. Wait till METV unveil their Winter 2018 Schedule.


It wasn't a right call if the shows are airing while people are at work and school

And Good and Sanford and son airs on TV One

Oh wow!!! I would love it if they would get Who's the boss!:) Way cool about Gimme a break! I haven't seen GAB in years! :)


I used to run home from school to see Who's the Boss in local syndication in 9th grade. That was my show at 6pm every night

What? Sanford And Son is going bye bye?


Sanford and Son comes on TV One everyday

Also, "Three's Company" at 8pm weeknights?! This is asinine! It's one of the most run into the ground, overplayed shows on the network and in dire need of a rest.

This could have been a perfect place to bow "Alice" to, but no. Rather than air a highly anticipated new show MANY have been clamoring for and some haven't seen for decades, in a prime time slot, let's throw an overplayed, tired sitcom that has aired cycle after cycle after cycle there instead!

Shows like "All in the Family" for years enjoyed having those cushy comfy prime time slots between 8 & 11pm, cycle after cycle, proving that it is indeed a more desirable airing time for shows.

So why on earth it goes to "Three's Company" over "Alice" is beyond my comprehension. I think Antenna TV execs just threw darts at the wall when filling these 2018 time slots.

At least i'll have "Alice" Sunday nights at 10:30pm. Once a week! OH BOY! OH BOY! It will take YEARS to go through the whole series. Thanks Antenna TV!



Yes TC should not be coming on at no damm 8pm.

For TWO FREAKING YEARS i've anticipated "Alice" to start on this damn channel and what do they do? Shove her at the godforsaken times of 1pm and 1am!! The first airing when i'm out and the second when i'm fast asleep! WAT??! WHY?!

I was 100% certain she'd get a prime time slot between 8 & 11pm. Silly me for being presumptuous. At least Murphy Brown got respectable treatment airing 10pm. It would have paired perfect with Alice too. Oh well....Antenna TV I have just one thing to say to you....

KISS MY GRITS!!! :mad:


Yes makes no sense. I can see it some nights because I go to sleep at 1:30am but I didn';t want to watch it so close to my bed time

why put the **** on at 1pm?

That dumb ass Johnny Carson is not departing:o

I know. He takes up too much of the schedule. He doesn’t need to be on twice a night.

Atleast it comes on now after the 11pm news which is good. I hated seeing it come on at 10pm

Johnny Carson is Antenna's top rated show, and has been since it started. They're contractually obligated to air it every night . It isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I enjoy it, but to each their own, I guess.

Is that true that Johnny Carson is top rated show on Antenna?

This is interesting.

Robert Urich was born on this date in 1946. Watch him on Soap when it rejoins the Antenna TV family in January!

So Soap isn't a new show and it's returning?

It was on a few years ago but only on Sunday nights. Same with Benson.

Guess what's out folks?

What? What? The suspense is killing me

I don't know myself.

Btw, the 2 to 7 pm schedule from Monday to Friday is excellent.

I'll have to look for myself.

Antenna TV just posted their new schedule, so I decided to copy and paste the link for everyone to see. :)

The new Antenna TV schedule.

Thanks, I was just joking

I love the additions of Hogans Family, Head of The Class. Been waiting for years for these two to come back on.

It is official. My good for nothing affiliate has dropped Antenna TV. :mad: :mad: :rolleyes:

Don't know if you heard yet, but I saw on facebook earlier that it's gonna be returning to Fort Wayne within the next few months. WFFT is picking it up.

Really? It's coming back to Fort Wayne in next few months? I would really love to watch Hogan Family, and My Two Dads, and some other sitcoms though

Don't know if you heard yet, but I saw on facebook earlier that it's gonna be returning to Fort Wayne within the next few months. WFFT is picking it up.Excellent!! I guess they listened to me after all. Will it be replacing Bounce or added to their .3 channel?

The facebook post I saw on Antenna's page doesn't say, but I did find this (http://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=wfft) that says it's going to 55.3. That site is generally pretty accurate.

The Ropers and 3's A Crowd are part of the Three's Company package so when Antenna TV used to run two back to back shows of Three's Company the second one was The Ropers or 3's A Crowd when they got to that part in the reruns.

I am impressed with their January schedule. It is the most variety Antenna has ever had, and most of the Norman Lear shows are finally kicked to the curb! I have never seen Head of the Class, Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family, and Alice, will be checking them out. Head of the Class is my most anticipated of those and is a natural pairing with Welcome Back, Kotter. Benson is my all-time favorite sitcom and it gets a nice primetime weeknight slot, Murphy Brown and Coach also have good slots. My Two Dads also gets a nice weeknight slot and Mr. Belvedere returns to weekdays. Well done! I will miss Newhart, The Addams Family, Patty Duke, and Green Acres, but there are plenty of other good shows on the lineup that I will enjoy.

I grew up on all those 80s shows. I only recall My Two Dads for introducing me to Paul Reiser. Staci Kennan was then on Step By Step while Paul did Mad About You. It was disappointing Paul's last sitcom failed quickly. But he did a memoir that was published around the same time.

Silver Spoons with Rick Schroder also had Jason Bateman who then ran off to what became The Hogans or Hogan Family, but was once called Valerie's Family. Head Of The Class had Howard Hessman, but he quit and Billy Connolly took over.

Alice was known for the character of Flo, but she left early in the series to a spin off. So the show went through changes. Diane Ladd, who did the movie version Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, joined but Linda Lavin disliked her so she was fired. Vic Taybeck was well known for his role as well. They had Sorrell Booke appear as Boss Hogg a few times.

Benson was a character first in Soap. I didn't know that when Benson ran. I figured it out back when Antenna TV ran Soap the last time in 2012.
