When I click on the PDF Schedule on their website it currently says "Page Not Found." Hopefully this means they're creating a new schedule to be released soon. I want to see some new shows, put Carson back at 11PM, and drop that god awful "Soap", and shove "Murphy Brown" to the 4am graveyard slot where it belongs.

But keep the Saturday night old classics the way it is. That line up is just perfect and I look forward to it each weekend.

Yes, they have a great Saturday night classic lineup. I wish they'd match it on Sunday night.

They will probably have a schedule overhaul at the start of 2019. I would not miss Soap either, Head of the Class should replace it at 3:30PM to bring back the Kotter/HOTC pairing.

Personally I Would Like To see Johnny Carson move to Monday’s-Friday’s 7pm-8pm.
With The hour and a half episodes move to 8AM-9:30AM On Monday’s-Friday’s.

Monday’s-Friday’s E/I Programming 9:30AM-10:00AM.

This way they can Add Programming to Saturday’s & also extend the Saturday Night Classic line up with out interruption.

When Marathons happen they can air 8pm-8AM.

I'd like to see them add Chico and the Man, and remove the 4:30-7PM shows. They've been on long enough. I wish Bewitched would be moved earlier on Saturdays before Jeannie and Good Morning World to an earlier or later time so I could actually see it. Also, the 9-11PM lineup can be phased out IMO and Johnny Carson should move to 10:30 or 11. Also would love to see Wings and Becker moved earlier.

I'm not sure, but I think they're finally playing "new" Carson episodes now. My TV goes off at midnight so I can only tune into the first 1/2 hour and lately i'm seeing new stuff....at least I think i'm seeing it. And if they did get a whole new batch of shows to air, I hope they move it back to 11PM so I can see the whole hour.

I also would like to see Wings come back into the prime time hours between 8-11pm. I miss it and can't tune in at 1am.

EDIT: The PDF schedule reappeared on Antenna TV website again....same old Fall 2018 one. They tricked me! Boo.

I'd like to see Carson earlier. It gave me something to put on at 10.

His monologue is still funny after all these years, and he's lightyears ahead of these jokers they have on regular TV.

The Upcoming Winter Schedule of Antenna TV has yet to be revealed but I’m still hoping that Sabrina The Teenage Witch & Becker will be off from the schedule because both of them are too new for Antenna TV. I think Johnny Carson should move back to either 10/9c or 11/10c where it belongs. Antenna TV should’ve added It’s a Living(Seasons 1 thru 3 only) & Who’s The Boss.

Wow. Coach must've bombed in primetime to be shoved to Midnight like that. Sunday's are more of a burn-off period for these digital channels so they don't count really.

Pros:
Bewitched still at 2-3pm. Excellent time for an excellent show.
Soap is still on. 3:30 surprises me, still, but I like it.
Maude from 6-7pm is a lot better than 227 which I got sick of.
Coach completely booted to the curb on Weeknights! Still has Sunday primetime, but doubt that will last till Spring knowing Antenna's pattern, probably will get pulled completely. :thumbsup:
Alice retaining its 8-9pm timeslot. Glad to see that. Wish Alice was from 7-8pm Sundays too.
Johnny Carson at 10pm is an excellent timeslot, much better than tired Coach.
Head of the Class gets double episodes on Weekends, Becker, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch! Excellent.

Cons:
Coach stinking up Sunday primetime.
Wings getting unfairly booted like that. I wish it was Sundays from 7-8pm or Alice.
While I do like Murphy Brown, I can definitely see why they pushed it to after Midnight like that. it's even not keeping the Weekend afternoons!
The horrid Gimme a Break staying. Eew, hate that show. But Sundays are no more so that's a good sign.

Definitely a downgrade overall. We are still stuck with raunchy Soap at 3:30PM, that should have gone to Head of the Class. They still won't give Benson double episodes on weekdays, it is more deserving of that than 227. Lousy Norman Lear shows are starting to creep back again and dominate more of the schedule, Maude should have been sent to late nights with Family Ties and Growing Pains getting watchable slots. Wings would have been preferable to Three's Company in the 11PM hour. No more Jack Benny in primetime. And obviously no new shows on the lineup like several of us thought. Best parts of the schedule: Sunday primetime is a big improvement with the Coach, My Two Dads, and Growing Pains blocks. Head of the Class, Family Ties, and Silver Spoons airing back-to-back on weekend afternoons is good.

Family Ties has been shown in primetime for years, being at 10-11PM for over a year at one point. Maude is likely playing out its last episodes before it expires and that's why Antenna's expanding it. They're treating Wings atrociously, that should be on Weeknights and Sunday nights. Gimme a Break should be gone, period. But since Webster is leaving, I have no doubt Gimme a Break will be leaving as well. I enjoy Maude and Archie Bunker's Place, so I'm glad they're still on.

Antenna TV doesn't have a new Winter 2019 schedule posted on their website. Is that list above just a wish list or an official announcement of the new lineup?!

I highly doubt Antenna TV would shove all those Saturday evening classics after midnight to air shows like Threes Company, Barney Miller & Soap.

I will wait till I see the OFFICIAL announcement.

EDIT to add: Just saw the screen shot of it...but it's not showing when I go to their site. It still shows Fall 2018. Where did you see this?

Also edited to add it looks fake. They wouldn't write "1st Q 2019" on the schedule like that. It would say Winter 2019. Did you create this yourself?

IF this is the new set schedule (and that's a big IF for me as i'll hold off till an official announcement), i'm happy with the M-F scheduling in the morning and afternoon and agree Carson back at 10PM is great! Especially if they're finally airing "new" episodes.
I also like Barney Miller staying at the 9PM hour. I know it's been on forever, but I really like that show. I am a little bummed no return of "The Patty Duke Show", but i'll survive.

Maude at 6pm hour is also great!!

As for the weekends....Sundays I always pop in a classic DVD movie to watch so I never care what they show that night, but i'm very disappointed they took away the classic block on Saturday evenings. They were so much fun to watch and I looked forward to them!! :(

I guess i'll just pop in a dvd on Saturday nights too now.

I agree that anything can be mocked up on the internet, but it does look like the real deal. Also I doubt anyone would go to the trouble.

Re the Saturday night schedule, they moved it around 6 hours later. I suppose I could DVR it all and watch it Sunday, or the next Saturday night. At least then I could zap all those garbage ads I've seen a million times anyway.

It's just the replacements to the Sat. night schedule. How much more of Threes Company can we take? I don't know why Antenna TV loves this show so much to shove it down our throats all the time.
And an hour of SOAP?! The show is so horrid there are no words to describe how much I can't stand it!
And Barney Miller is already on 5 hours M-F. Why another hour on Saturday?! It just makes no sense to shove those great rarely seen classics to after midnight.

I don't have a DVR so i'll just pop in DVD's on weekends. No big deal I guess, but i'm just left scratching my head at whoever is head of programming over there.

And no more "Good Morning World" at all. That was a cute show...i'll have to look and see if the DVD of it is out there and buy it.

Yeah, I forgot to comment on Three's.... I know many people like it, but it's not my cup of tea. Odd they scheduled it at 5am (Along with all the other times they have it) to replace Benny...odd lead in to Burns and Allen.

I work 2nd shift so I’m personally glad the Saturday night classics start at 11:30pm.I’ll be able to see The Paul Lynde Show & Lotsa Luck. In a way they extended the Saturday night classics to 11:30pm-9AM.

Did everyone see that Johnny Carson’s Weekend Encore airring was removed? Overall I’m glad Johnny moved to 10pm.However I’m really not a fan of the The shows that will air 12AM-3AM Sunday’s-Friday’s. Oh well hopefully the next Schedule change.

I’m glad they changed the line up overall it freshens it up. Unlike Me TV.

Since it states "1st Q 2019" on the schedule posted here, it implies to me they're planning to change it each quarter which is every 3 months. So perhaps we'll see another change come April.
I posted the image of the schedule on Antenna TV's Facebook page asking for confirmation if it's real and both times I posted, they quickly removed my post from their page!! Wow. I don't understand that!

SO....I don't know if that means someone leaked this schedule here that was not supposed to or it's a fake. Either way, I can live with it if it's the real deal.

Antenna did a Joey Bishop marathon a few years ago on New Years Day but I wouldn't mind if they did another one.

If Antenna is having a Paul Lynde Show marathon on New Years Eve, I will probably watch that, sounds like fun to me. It's too bad Antenna isn't showing all 26 episodes, otherwise I would record them and make my own DVD's. Since they're not showing all the episodes it puts a bummer on wanting to record them.

When Antenna gets around again to season 1 of Joey Bishop, there's one episode I want to record again that was messed up when I recorded it before, so I'll be checking the schedule when the season 1 shows are on again.

I would like to see Antenna TV air a few more short lived/one season sitcoms from the 1960's. Two that I'd like to see are Hey Landlord and The Cara Williams Show. I could list more but those are just two examples.

I would prefer either of them too over Coach. But the good news is they buried Coach to midnight M-F along with Murphy Brown. Good riddance to both!

What's weird though is on Sundays they got an hour of Coach at 7pm, then another half hour of it again at 11:30pm....Thankfully, I don't watch the channel on that night, but still...too much of 1 show in the same evening.

I've heard from unofficial sources they've obtained 1 or 2 more episodes that were missing from the first run. We'll see if that's true in a few weeks.

6 PM to 3:30 AM is 9 1/2 hours, which equals 19 episodes. So yes that would mean they probably acquired two more episodes, since up till now they've aired only 17 of the 26 episodes. If they now have 19 episodes, that leaves 7 still missing. Hopefully they will eventually air all of them. Maybe some episodes are in need of restoration work before they can be aired. I have free space on my DVR so I might go ahead and record the marathon on New Years Eve.

The Paul Lynde episodes they have showed vary in quality. It may be that some are mastered from 16mm copies, and others mastered from the original 35mm. It's hard to know.

They may simply be having trouble finding the episodes, and by now have found two more.

Hopefully in spring they move Wings back to early evening during the week. Alice is ok, but after Flo's character leaves, it's unwatchable to me so I wouldn't mind shoving Alice to after midnight and putting Wings in it's current 8PM place Mon to Fri.

I just checked Antenna's Facebook page. The Paul Lynde and Coach New Year's Eve/Day marathons are correct. Still nothing official about the new schedule, I don't know why they wait so long to make it public. I am looking forward to the Coach marathon, was between affiliates on New Year's Day last year and didn't get to see it then. I just wish the Newhart New Year's Eve marathon could come back, too bad they don't have that show anymore.

I wish they'd do a Burns and Allen, Jack Benny or Joey Bishop Show New Year's Day marathon instead of lousy Coach yet again. Coach has gotten two marathons between four months.... that seems very excessive to say the least. I wonder if they're trying to burn it out so they can move on to other shows and dump Coach altogether? I guess time will tell, but I'd rather have another show like The Hogan Family that hasn't gotten a marathon yet. Or even better yet, how about a Head of the Class marathon if they want two marathons in four months? Head of the Class is a much better show and I'd totally watch a marathon. I won't be watching Antenna all day January 1st then, too bad!

Whatever. Your constant Coach bashing is getting really old. We get it, you hate the show. But I am glad it gets a New Year's day marathon that I can see this time, good for Antenna.

You seem to be the only one here that likes it. I'd rather see a B&W show marathon instead like they used to do. Paul Lynde on New Year's Eve, Burns & Allen on New Year's Day. But, at least Coach is doing terribly, hence them pushing it to Midnight like that. That's always been a terrible slot for any show, now I have no doubt it will be eventually removed! :D

According to Upcoming page Johnny Carson will interrupt The Paul Lynd Show as Johnny Carson will air December 31, Monday 11pm-12:30AM. Than The Paul Lynd Marathon will continue January 1, Tuesday 12:30AM-3:30AM.Than Johnny Carson ENCORE will air January 1, Tuesday 3:30AM-5AM.

Sounds like the Paul Lynde marathon will indeed be interrupted for Carson, so if that's the case then I won't record the marathon. The series isn't worth recording anyway as long as Antenna isn't showing all the episodes. Maybe one day the complete series will come out on DVD but it's probably unlikely to happen.

I would like to know why Antenna isn't showing all the Paul Lynde episodes. Are some episodes lost or in such bad shape that they are unable to be aired? I would like to know why some episodes are missing. 26 episodes, they've aired 17 of them and 9 are missing.

Midnight is better than 1AM, which Becker got banished to. Becker must be doing absolutely awful, good riddance when it leaves.

Becker must be doing horrible, that's why they're adding more episodes to the lineup.:D I hope Antenna never removes Becker, that show is so much more funny than Coach. I would love to see a Becker New Year's Day marathon. I know I'm in the minority on this site, but I think Becker is a very funny show and I hope Antenna keeps it for a long time. Midnight-6AM is generally the times shows which are doing poorly get banished to. Becker is still doing well because it still has 4 episodes a week in a good timeslot from 6-7pm and it has been keeping the 6-6:30pm timeslot for over a year. Coach only has 2 episodes in a decent timeslot while Becker has 4. Now which show is the one doing awful again?

I hate both Becker & Coach. Both shows in my opinion don't belong on Antenna TV. Especially Becker which aired well into the 2000's which is much too recent imo to qualify for classic TV.

I too would have preferred any classic b&w show for a New Years marathon over Coach. But that's what the remote control is for. I'll just pop in a few dvd's that day.

Maybe Antenna will add to The Paul Lynde Show. It also took them a bit before they got the complete first season of The Joey Bishop Show, so there's still hope.

Same here. I might watch some of my Laverne & Shirley DVDs in tribute that day. I have the complete series of Becker on DVD, so I wouldn't really miss it if Antenna removed it and Coach since I could just watch it on DVD anytime. I wish Antenna would add Chico and the Man & It's a Living someday. Chico and the Man & It's a Living have not gotten much syndication exposure so it'd be nice to see them on Antenna TV, credit crunched is also better than not at all.

Also, Coach having two marathons in a four month period is excessive. Any shows having two or more marathons in four or less months is excessive. Murphy Brown did have a mini marathon so it wasn't truly a marathon, but Coach had a 1 to 11:30PM marathon that was much longer than Murphy's mini-marathon. Is Antenna trying to drive away faithful viewers? Because they'll lose a lot on that day.

I think the people at Antenna TV have their own personal favorites that they like to force onto viewers. I mean just look at a show like Three's Company that has played so much yet continues to get the best time slots when i'm sure the majority of viewers are so sick of it by now.

I think someone in programming is a big Coach fan and expects all of us to be as well.

And they turned Archie Bunkers Place into a full hour in a popular 7PM time slot. The series only has 97 episodes and will run it's course and cycle over again in just over 2 months! That 7PM hour could have gone to a more popular show or better yet a new one.

I really don't get their programming at all. It's bonkers!

With the Joey Bishop's, it's true that Antenna initially held back a few 1st season shows, but it wasn't long until those got aired.

With the Paul Lynde's, the 17 episodes Antenna has been running have been through a few cycles already, which raises doubt if they will eventually run all the episodes but will just have to wait and see what happens.

Yeah, we'll have to wait to see what happens but I would rather see another Joey Bishop Show marathon. I think what happened initially was that Antenna thought it would be a huge, popular show on their network so they played it at first as much as possible but then they started reducing it. It's a pity, I like the show, but not at the amount they were airing it lol!

I enjoyed the Joey Bishop marathon Antenna did a few years ago on New Years Day, it's what got me interested in the show, it isn't the greatest sitcom of all time but it's a lot of fun. A nice time capsule of the 1960's. LOL at Joe Besser, he adds a lot to the show with his zany shtick, he is crazy. :crazy: :lol: Too bad he doesn't appear in every episode.

Season 3 is my favorite, season 4 is good too but lacks the charm of season 3. Joey Bishop supposedly didn't like the 1st season and it's my least favorite season also. Season 2 is pretty good but I don't really care for Guy Marks, I think Corbett Monica is better in the role of Joey's manager.

From what I understand, there was turmoil on the set of this series while it was being made, with Joey Bishop supposedly firing people left and right. Seems like Joey Bishop might have been an insecure person and objected to when he thought someone in the show got more laughs than he did.

When I was able to watch Joey Bishop on RTV, I saw a 3rd season episode, I think it's the one with Shecky Greene but not sure. Anyway, the ending/tag scene which is NOT shown on Antenna TV went something like this:

Shecky: Well Joey it was fun being on your show and I look forward to doing it again sometime.

Joey: Um, no Shecky I don't think you'll be coming back.

Shecky: Oh really? Why not?

Joey: Because when someone gets more laughs than me on my show, they don't come back.

LOL I'm not kidding, that's really how the episode ended. :lol: That's why I wish Antenna would run these uncut, but instead scenes are deleted and we are missing out on some funny stuff.

I don't know how to feel about this schedule to be honest. Weird to see Three's Company back in the late night hours. What's with them continuing to double down on 227 when Benson has way more episodes?

I really can't stand Maude and I'm just gonna leave it at that. Sucks that Coach got moved to late night hours, but hey, we can't always get what we want. Pretty cool that The Hogan Family, Head of the Class and Becker are getting back to back episodes. Shame Dear John is only on Sundays.

Other than that, really not sure how to feel about the schedule overall. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting any new shows or anything.
