They have Spoofs and Cult favorites (The Kitschen) and Black and White shows (Better living through television) now but what should be next?

Britcoms?

Canadian Classics?

Original Programming?

Classic Nick Sitcoms?

They should have a "Queens of Comedy" line-up every saturday night featuring Two hours of The Carol Burnett Show followed by Lucille Ball's four sitcoms in this order: I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, The Lucy-Desi Comedy, & 2 Here's Lucys.

I think they are good with the blocks right now, I don't think they should over do it, though one more block would be nice. Like a Saturday morning cartoon block like they had before. Say from 9am-12pm with sitcoms turning to cartoons:

something like:
9am Brady Kids
9:30am The New Adventures of Gilligan (After the cycle is done, they can air the 80's Gilligan's Planet)
10am Fonz and the Happy Days Gang
10:30am Laverne & Shirley with the Fonz
11am ALF Tales
11:30am It's Punky Brewster

Well, if the cartoon block goes at 9am-12pm it will match the Sunday Better Living Through Television from 9am-12pm. Box Sets air Sundays 3-5pm, so something on Saturdays from 3-5pm is needed. How about a spinoff block?
Hour 1 Three's Company spinoffs
Hour 2 Happy Days spinoffs:
3:00pm The Ropers
3:30pm Three's a Crowd
4:00pm Joanie Loves Chachi
4:30pm Blansky's Beauties (after this finishes, they can air Out of the Blue)
And of course 8-10pm on Saturday is I Love Lucy Saturday Night, and Sundays is Sunday Best, so now everything is even on weekends.

How about a block each Saturday from 2:00pm (central) to 5:00pm (central) where they show two shows from each of the big three. Like for one week it could be:
ALL TIMES CENTRAL

2pm: Three's Company (ABC)
2:30: Laverne & Shirley (ABC)
3pm: Sanford & Son (NBC)
3:30: Chico and the Man (NBC)
4pm: Mary Tyler Moore (CBS)
4:30: Bob Newhart (CBS)

Now for two hours on Saturday nights (7pm-9pm) they can show "Dallas" and "Knots Landing" back-to-back.

On Friday nights, they can air two hours of "Dark Shadows."

How about a "Brady Bunch"-themed block? Besides the original series (which TV land currently runs), they could also have "The Brady Kids", "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour", "The Brady Brides", and "The Bradys". They could also have the movies "The Brady Girls Get Married" and "A Very Brady Christmas".

I won't include any of the stuff from the nineties ("A Very Brady Sequel", etc.) since it doesn't star Robert (given, he's been dead more than ten years now), Florence, Barry, Maureen, Chris, Eve, Mike, Susan, or Ann.
