TVJunkie101 07-01-2002, 12:16 PM I love M*A*S*H* (sarcasm-->) but WHAT OH WHAT will FX air! LOL. I mean, I'm almost MASHED out because FX inisits on showing the show like 10 times a day, I'll never tire of the show, but sheesh, at least something different may come along...
Thanks for the scoop! I think Hallmark Channel has the making of a WONDERFUL classic-tv home!
ClassicTVHits 07-01-2002, 12:40 PM I actually had the same thought :)! Looks like we will be in for more X-Files and 90210!

X-Files is going to Sci-Fi and TNT this fall I believe.

I was right:
'X-Files,' 'Roswell,' coming to Sci-Fi:
"Files," which is expected to debut this October, likely will be
an eight-year deal with a shared window with TNT. The 202 "Files"
episodes will be exclusive to Sci-Fi during
Monday-through-Friday prime time, while TNT will have rights to
other times and dayparts.
The 62 "Roswell" episodes are expected to come in a five-year
exclusive deal with a debut window that opens in fall 2002 and
runs until January 2003.

Do you know of any "new" programs coming to FX? Isn't "That 70s Show" & "The Simpsons" coming to FX eventually? I thought there was something floating around about shows coming to FX. I also believe FX is adding Boston Public eventually, right. I sure wish FX would add Melrose Place. Oh well, LOL. I have a feeling FX will be dropping 90210 soon, although I don't know for sure, it's just speculation on my part. I hope they also keep Married With Children. They seem to be cutting down on the airings at 10:00pm...
Also, any word on the new TVLand August sched?

The only 3 shows that have been announced to come to fX are:
King of the Hill (2004 or 2005)
That '70s Show (2004 or 2005)
Dharma & Greg (TBA)
Simpsons still doesn't have a cable deal. Boston Public doesn't, should be coming up soon though. Melrose Place is just sitting in the vault, hasn't been seen since E! had it.
Married...With Children will leave fX in Fall 2003, it's 4 year deal will expire.
No TV Land August schedule YET, maybe later today.
TVJunkie101 07-01-2002, 02:41 PM Thanks Pavan. I had a feeling that "Married" would be leaving soon. Yeah, I'm assuming E! still has the rights to MP, but I wish FX would add it, maybe they will, maybe they won't, LOL... Anyway, Maybe TVLand won't reveal it's new August lineup until it's new July schedule starts the 8th? Well, I know you'll post the schedule when it arrives! Thanks for keeping us all informed.
Sitcomwriter 07-01-2002, 04:17 PM Dharma and Greg doesn't feel like FX material to me....
Well, I'm not happy.
We'd better get Hallmark Channel here in NYC or else I'll miss my weekend M*A*S*H fix!
