YAHOOOOO!!! :happyface No it's not Mountain Dew, it's the grand announcement of the return of BACHELOR FATHER starting in January on Antenna TV!!!! This is the best TV sitcom news I've heard in a long time! I've been watching Bachelor Father every Friday thanks to my DVDs and I didn't think I'd ever see it back on broadcast TV. All good things return, I should have known. If Hazel can return after 20 years gone why not Bachelor Father? I hold out hope that Antenna will finally show the episodes they skipped last time. Maybe, huh?

This news could only be topped by some genius network somewhere announcing finally the return of Love That Bob, one of the funniest sitcoms ever.
Now let's all enjoy a beautiful color picture as the Bachelor Father gang are all at the door ready to come in in January. (Why are we keeping them waiting? Antenna TV how about an earlier start?)

Where did you find this information? :confused: I saw icecream's schedule but I think the only thing official is Welcome Back, Kotter joining in January on Antenna TV unless you have evidence otherwise, this would be great news.

You should have read Icecream's listing more carefully, I quote his post here, see if you can spot it this time. Hint, look at the 3 pm to 4 pm show.;)

No, sadly. It's just from a dream schedule on another thread. I wish it were true, I really like Room 222 and I think it would be a perfect fit for Antenna. Maybe someday. Hopefully someday.

BF info fake too?

Yes, the whole thing appears to have been a gag.

Unfortunately, yes.

Yeah. That's right Ice cream does make up those wish list schedules.;) I kinda thought this wasn't true! :confused:

I too really hope one of the retro stations picks up Room 222 ! :)

Well, at least the color slide above is kinda cool!

O WattaFooIam, as Oscar would teach Felix to say. I've been fool enough to believe what I read by fans who are daydreaming their fantasies on the board instead of reporting facts.

I was really hoping to see the show return. Dang. Well, I'm as saddened and shocked as the Bachelor Father bunch below. Pass me the crying towel.:(

"I am making a weekday schedule here it would be nice if they did in January". I thought that made it clear enough this was just a wish schedule, guess not. :(

So I can let go of my hat now?

YEP !! Throw that hat into the ring now!!! :D:crazy:

I did like that colorized picture I made of the disappointed Bachelor folks. I wish I could colorize the whole series instead of just a picture.

Yes, that was a good, sad picture.

I also hope, if they do eventually decide to bring it back, that it does include the episodes they missed on the first run.

It turns out Bachelor Father will be returning to Antenna TV after all! onlinesitcoms is an insider poster who works there (he has several accounts with the same name but his information has always been correct), onlinesitcoms posted their January schedule in the Antenna TV thread on General Sitcoms. Bachelor Father will air weekdays in the 11AM hour and late Saturday nights in the 3AM hour starting January 3. Hazel will move an hour later to noon, there are several other changes as well. Also on New Year's Day as part of their marathon of pilots, the series premiere of Bachelor Father will air at 11:30AM.
