Translation: Toon In With Me is trouncing The Joey Bishop Show. Just a guess.Considering these changes start right at the beginning of the month in the middle of the week on a Thursday, plus its graveyard late Saturday hour is also removed, I think more likely is Joey Bishop rights expire at the end of March.

Makes more sense. McHale's Navy certainly isn't a wow replacement and it's been there before, too.

I think 7:00am is obviously a bad time slot for sitcoms. Before Toon In With Me, Gilligan had the 7 slot but was moved back to Sundays with improved ratings. Same deal with Green Acres a few years back on METV Saturday mornings.

Assuming Catsrule is correct and Joey expired, Antenna was probably unwilling to pony up and renew it. By putting McHale back in there they could be ceding that hour. They were probably losing it anyway, and they still have all their junk ads, no matter what.

So the end is coming for The Joey Bishop Show, I was wondering how much longer Antenna TV would be running the episodes. I recorded all the episodes (except for season 2 because I have the DVD set) back in 2017 when Antenna started running them and still had a full screen picture. These days in 2021, I now receive Antenna TV in a shrunken down, square size picture with black bars on all four sides of the screen, it looks absolutely terrible and I will not record anything from that channel again unless they go back to full screen and I doubt that will happen.

Than click on whatever show.
Than hit upcoming episodes.

I do not know yet if Saturday’s & Sunday’s have more Changes coming still or if the Schedule Changes that come April 3, (Saturday) & April 4, (Sunday) are it.

I wish Antenna TV didn't hate Jack Benny so much, would easily take him over dumb McHale's Navy in the noon hour. He does not have to be always paired with Burns and Allen just because they were good friends... It's not like they are putting another female starring show at noon between Hazel and Jeannie either. They will be unwatchable there once That Girl moves, but that might be fine with the longtime Andy Griffith hour on my FOX there (while they are in black and white seasons anyway). It is good to see Barney Miller get a primetime hour back (good riddance to Archie Bunker), and Coach switching places with Designing Women is great. Here I thought Who's the Boss? was doing well. The new 5-7PM is an awful downgrade, but that's a trade I will take for Barney Miller back. New weekend schedule not known yet, would be nice if Wings replaced Dear John Sundays at 11:00 and My Two Dads replaced The Hogan Family at 7:00. It won't start until April 17 with whatever marathon the 10th has.

Merry24
03-22-2021, 07:25 PM
It would be nice to see Jack Benny atleast air 12AM-1AM Saturday’s. Moving Dennis the Menace to 2AM-3AM on Saturday’s and Mchales Navy at 3AM-4AM on Saturday’s.

I agree it would be nice to see The Flying Nun & Gidget & The Monkee’s Return to Antenna TV!

I still get Antenna TV in good ole full-screen SD, so it must be your local channel's equipment. I'll cross my fingers that here they keep the "old" setup.

I was getting Antenna TV with a full screen picture until around the time Nexstar took over. So I don't know if Nexstar is to blame for the change in picture size or if it's the local affiliate.

Why repeat Bewitched and Jeannie in the afternoon and the shows from 2am-5am? I would rather they keep Who’s the Boss?, Growing Pains and The Facts of Life on weekdays, even in the graveyard slots. I knew Who’s the Boss? wouldn’t last long on weekdays since it doesn’t seem to do well in syndication but I wasn’t expecting it off the weekday lineup altogether already. I thought The Facts of Life would’ve had a more successful run weekdays, too.

Oh no !!! Who's the boss is only going to be on Sundays ! And replaced with Gimme a break! :eek:I like GAB but I like Who's the boss better and it was new! Gimme a break has played on Antenna for a while ! :confused:That girl going to One day at a times slot ! I love That girl !:) I can watch it 3 days a week, and One day at a time at 3 my time, that can only be 3 days a week too cause of work and I have to choose between ODAAT and Friends on TBS ! ;):confused:

I'm really upset about Who's the boss ! :(I will have to remember to watch it on Sunday, usually I watch METV on Sundays !

I feel the same way a lot of you do about Who’s The Boss?. My thought is perhaps they are getting ready to launch ATV 80’s. Perhaps Who’s The Boss? Will be a big player on the new ATV (80)’s channel. Reduced airring times will make it look fresher on ATV (80)’s.

In the same breath I’m happy to see Antenna TV Returning to its Classical ways of more (50’s & 60’s & 70’s).

Atleast try it out in primetime. I see ODAAT has a almost primetime slot

03-24-2021, 02:38 PM
I imagine the overall ratings for outlets like Antenna TV and MeTV aren't that grand (live ratings in general are stinky), so I wonder what a show would have to get to consider it doing well enough for the prime slots.

I usually tune out of Alice once the Flo era ends ("Flo's Farewell airs tonight at 7 p.m. EST). Flo isn't the only character I like; it's just I find that cast dynamic stronger than the ones that followed.

Did Linda Lavin force Diane Ladd out too, or was she just a flop as Belle. Ironic since she was the otiginal Flo in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

Watching the first Belle episode on Antenna now. Jolene grew on me, eventually.

She never felt threatened by Polly Holiday, the plan was already in the works for her to have her own show when Alice first started

03-24-2021, 09:52 PM
^Indeed. Also, some have gone on about Linda rolling her eyes when Polly would get a laugh in the fourth season. She would often roll her eyes at a Flo response, though that was in character- and she also did so with Vera and others.

I do believe any "rivalry" has been blown out of proportion by some- and that's supported by Polly's comments in 1980 upon leaving the show, as well as the history of Polly's series option as early as season 1 of Alice and the Flo spin-off.

What's Happening Now should not have 2 consecutive hours. What's worse is that takes over both Saturdays and Sundays. Benson gets horrible treatment again, its weekend hour should have stayed with What's Happening Now replacing already on weekdays Gimme a Break at 3PM. That is a bad trend to start, nothing has usually aired more than one hour except for marathons. Early mornings sometime, but never in evening. I do like the return of My Two Dads to Sundays in primetime.

Antenna TV does have its Saturday NITE of good oldies. I do agree Antenna TV needs more Sitcoms from the 50’s & 60’s as well for Primetime/LateNITE/OverNITE also for EVERY NITE just like NICK at NITE delivered back in the late 80’s.

Thanks for the link, I was able to watch the Joey Bishop episodes online when Roku had them but Filmrise doesn't seem to work for me, it's telling me I need to purchase a Roku device to access programs and I'm not going to bother with that. I did do a search for The Joey Bishop Show on the Filmrise site but the response came back and said no search results found. :confused:

So I guess I will just stick with my homemade DVD's of the Joey Bishop episodes, airings I recorded from Antenna TV but many thanks for posting the link.
