And they'll be running the first season of The Joey Bishop Show, not seen since it originally aired!

I have the Good Morning World complete series DVD. An underrated show. Too bad it didn't last longer, the entire cast is good.

The 'nudist camp' episode of "Good Morning World" is quite memorable.

But it's really big news if the long-embargoed 1st-season of "Joey Bishop Show" indeed gets aired.

Here's the press release: http://www.tribunemedia.com/antenna-tv-adds-the-joey-bishop-show-and-good-morning-world-to-its-2107-lineup/

Relevant passage:

The Joey Bishop Show starred Rat-Pack member Joey Bishop as Joey Barnes, a harried talk show host. Executive produced by Danny Thomas, the 30-minute sitcom originally aired between 1961-1965 and Antenna TV is thrilled to add the show’s entire four seasons to its lineup, including the 32 episode first season (in black & white) which was transferred from 35mm film to make its debut on Antenna TV.

Wow. Great news. I watched a few episodes on Retro TV. Finally get to see the first season.

What year did Good Morning World originally air?

I haven't seen these two before. I don't think I've heard of Good Morning World.

Didn't Joey have one (or two) of his co-stars fired for upstaging him?

After Good Morning, World was canceled, Ronnie Schell returned to Gomer Pyle: USMC as Corporal Duke Slater replacing Roy Stuart (Corporal Boyle).

Cool! Love Antenna TV and Joey Bishop; that Antenna--always up to something good.

Have you been recording WINGS? I also thought Please Don't Eat the Daisies, Farmer's Daughter and Room 222 would have been cool.

When Antenna first started in 2011, they were originally going to get Farmer'a Daughtef, but the quality of many of the prints was so bad that they ended up passing on that one.

Ya, I've heard that about Farmer'a Daughtef but you never know, it could have been remastered by now.

AWESO!!! I've only seen part of one episode of THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW about 10 years ago on some site and it was pretty good, and I remember GOOD MORNING WORLD when it first aired back in 1967. That was the last time I saw it and I thought it was hilarious! I didn't know back then that it was from the same people who did THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW so now I'm SURE it's just as funny as I remember!!!

Religiously. I didn't begin recording until the 5th or 6th ep, bout have them al since then. Whatever few I'm missing I'll get on the next cycle. God zi'll love that show and Antenna. Antenna is the perfect example of how a station should be.

No it is not. If it was, they would not be crunching credits. Crunching credits is not how it should be.

Well, I'd rather have crunched credits and a variety of sitcoms than no crunched credits and no variety

No it is not. If it was, they would not be crunching credits. Crunching credits is not how it should be.
EXACTLY!!! But, I don't mind it as much now that I know what the reason is they do it. The unfortunate reality of having more & more of these "retro-channels" is that the prices for vintage programs keeps going up, so they have to do something to off-set the cost. They thought of a few options and crunching the credits is, unfortunately the best one. So I don't mind it now that I've read that. I still don't like it though. But at least they're showing the shows.

Perhaps for you. Is Antenna 100.000% perfect? Of course not. But considering the Cornecopia of shows--many I thought would never see the light of day, like Bachelor Father and The Patty Duke Show for example--it's wonderful. Also it's a free channel (at least in my city) and their marathons are to die for. The credit crunches are a TINY bit annoying -so Antenna get's a 98 from me. But they're no big deal breaker considering all the other goodies they bestow.

I'm also looking forward to 227, Becker, What's Happening, My Two Dads, Alice, Murphy Brown, Head of the Class and Hogan Family!!!

I'd give Antenna about maybe a B. Don't like the credit crunch either plus they seem to go to commercial at the wrong time which is annoying.

I only try to watch one show there consistently, but that aspect seems okay.

I think you hit the nail right on the head with the "free" word. I hate the credit crunch too, but there are far worse on channels that you actually have to pay for (even if they're just basic cable channels like TNT or TV Land, you're still paying for them).

The channel isn't exactly free for everybody. I can't get it or Me-TV without cable.

I find the Joey Bishop Show Season 1 to be very nice news.

I don't know the exact word to use. I would not yell from a rooftop "This is the greatest show ever created." but I just get a kick out of watching it.

I mainly know Joey from the Dean Martin Roasts.

Anyway, I have not been able to watch him for ages because RTV was replaced by Me-TV here a few years ago.

While I realize that was a very good thing, I could not watch Joey except when some RTV affiliates had online feeds.

But the online feeds either randomly switched affiliations or RTV must have shut them down. I was luckily half the time if the streams were down due to tech issues or even up with tech issues.

Anyway, I was always curious to see Season 1 as I heard various rumors about a star who Joey found to be funnier than him and even that it was filmed before Abby Dalton had cosmetic nose surgery.

With rumors flying around Season 1, I'd like to see it at the very least.

Also I agree with the statement above that not every subchannel is "free" per se.

Other than the local NBC which Me-TV, Comet, and GRIT, I have to have cable for everything else. I can't get CBS, ABC, Fox, Antenna TV, This TV, CW, MyNetworkTV, or PBS without cable.

Will these episodes of The Joey Bishop Show that Antenna TV will show in January feature Regis Philbin in them? Because if my memory serves correctly The Joey Bishop Show was where Regis Philbin got his start in TV as Joey Bishop's sidekick on the show

That would be a no.

"The Joey Bishop Show" that you are thinking of was when Joey had a talk show.

Right before the talk show their was a sitcom where Joey stared in.

I have really no clue why they sometimes give two completely different shows the exact same name.

Thanks for your reply Red Penguin. I didn't even know that there was a sitcom also called The Joey Bishop Show as well but now I get what you're talking about

I'd do without the crunched credits! I would rather have me a variety!

Hell! I'd rather have a voice over during the credits than the credits be crunched! I used to shake my fist and be annoyed when GSN would do that but I'd rather have a voiceover during the credits! There is another way!

Is this really necessary to have a separate thread?? I thought this is supposed to go in AntennaTV announcing shows in 2017!

Anyone have updates for Antenna TV Winter Schedule

Exactly. I don't mind voiceovers just as long as the music is not muted and I can still hear the music and the voiceover doesn't drown it out.

Wow Antenna TV sure is going all out on The Joey Bishop Show.

My DVR/tuner is going busy on Jan 1st.

Antenna TV is going to do 5AM Jan 1st until 5AM Jan 2nd of Joey with the exception of the two Johnny Carsons.

I record Johnny anyway.

So I will be recording Antenna TV for 24 straight hours. LoL

I can't believe I will get 42 episodes of Joey right off the bat. That should help finish up my collection fast.

Antenna TV was great to watch on vintage TV sets back when it broadcast a 4:3 aspect ratio. Now that they broadcast the 4:3 within a 16:9 widescreen it's ruined for me. It's still carried as a 4:3 analog channel on my cable system, which means everything is squished between two dark bands on an older set, there's no way to zoom in or do anything else to correct it.

If I may ask, where are you located and what is your cable company?

The reason I ask is, I have never seen any cable company carry Antenna TV or any similar subchannel as an analog channel except my company for a short time carried PBS World as analog when another channel was dropped.

It seems most cable co's carry subchannels in a digital only format.

Just to give folks a heads up.

It appears that Antenna TV while showing Season 1 episodes in the Marathon, they will do similar to RTV and show starting at Season 2 on weekdays.

I'm waiting for Zap2It/Tribune to update to show the following weekend but I'm going to have to assume Season 1 will be airing during the 3 Sat and 2 Sunday airings.

According to the schedule now, the Marathon will show random episodes from all 4 seasons but on Mon start at Season 2.

Maybe they are doing this as I have always heard Season 1 was practically a different show and Season 2 had lots of things re-written so maybe Antenna TV figured air it separately.

It's official!

It looks like Antenna TV has placed a strange air schedule on Joey.

Starting on Mon 1/2, Season 2 Episode 1 will air.

On Sat 1/7, Season 3 Episode 1 will air.

I guess that leaves the two airings on Sun to be Season 1, though the schedule hasn't come in yet for Sun.

Good thing my DVR names the video files and keeps track of episodes because it appears Antenna will air 3 separate seasons of Joey in a single week.

EDIT: According to the guides, the Sunday episodes will simply be the first two episodes that aired on Sat. I have no clue when Season 1 will officially air.

Antenna TV did respond to my question on Facebook saying they are still transferring all of Joey Bishop Season 1 from 35mm to an airable format.

I see this crap replacing Mr Belvedere on Sunday, oh joy...

Patty Duke Show has been out on DVD for years.

TV was meant to be 4:3. I'm actually taking someone's old tube set this week to put away as a replacement for when mine finally goes. Widescreen I have no interest in.

So I'm guessing that the seasons 2-4 will be the old transfers that were done for TV Land in the mid-90s. Those were either cut or timesped as I recall they came in at around 24 minutes, a minute and half short.

I see this crap replacing Mr Belvedere on Sunday, oh joy...Mr. Belvedere remains at 4PM Sundays.

Something strange is going on.

So far 7 episodes of Joey aired.

Every episode was B&W as expected but oddly the episode at 7:30AM called "Double Exposure" aired in Color.

Then at 8AM the next episode "A Man's Best Friend" went back to B&W again.

After viewing the episode it appears Antenna TV didn't mess up and air the wrong episode.

Could Antenna TV have pulled a random surprise and colorized it?

The episode that's on right now is in color too and it's a first season show. I don't know. Did a couple run in color? lol

I'm guessing NBC was testing out color. They did that with Hazel during its first season too (which was also 1961-1962).

The Joey Bishop Show is ok. I watched several episodes during the marathon today but wouldn't make it a regular. It wasn't an instant favorite like The Patty Duke Show and Mr. Belvedere. Good Morning World has a terrible timeslot. I doubt I'll see much of it, if any.

Joe Besser was funny as one of the Three Stooges during their later years. I didn't know he was also a regular on the Joey Bishop Show. Just found that out today while watching the episodes. Interesting.

So far "Double Exposure" and "That's Showbiz" is the only Season 1 episodes that showed in color.

Are some of these episodes on Antenna TV edited?
It seems like some of the opening and closing scenes are gone or maybe its all in my head.

They're all very edited. Even the first season ones. What were once 25 or 26 minute shows are now 22 minutes. (I timed out the couple that I recorded.)

I don't know about Season 1 as this is the first time I have ever seen Season 1.

Though Season 1 openings seem a little strange where the audio comes in silent at first.

Like one episode opened with the words "That was last year" but you mostly only heard "was last year" as "That" was transitioning in softly.

But you have me wondering now.

I have a copy of "Danny Gives Joey Advice" from RTV.

That episode starts out with Joey introducing Danny then going into opening credits.

Oddly Antenna TV's just seems to show Danny and Joey in chairs then the show.

Also "The Babysitter" starts out with a beauty contest and it's oddly missing from Antenna TV's but shown in RTV's version.

They're all very edited. Even the first season ones. What were once 25 or 26 minute shows are now 22 minutes. (I timed out the couple that I recorded.)

Do you think it's possible Antenna TV did this for the marathon only or this is how they will air them normally?

Why would Antenna TV need to do all this editing for a series they could get some "fame" if they aired unedited.

I know Joey's show isn't loved by everybody but they could get some publicity at least for airing them in their entirety as something rare.

Also how did RTV air them longer? Doubt RTV has more money and needs less commercials.

I watched a couple episodes of this having never seeing it before but I've heard a lot about it. It's OK; not something I'd go out of my way to watch but I'd watch it if there's nothing else on.

I'm loving it.;) Watching it right now! I'm for sure going to add this to my regular TV viewing! Really funny show!:D

I caught episodes of The Joey Bishop Show and from what I saw , I didn't care for it.

Antenna TV airings of Joey Bishop Show run about 22 to 22 1/2 minutes, which is normal for syndication. About three minutes is trimmed from each episode.

Didn't the Joey Bishop Show air on MeTV as well?

Didn't the Joey Bishop Show air on MeTV as well?

As far as I know, Joey Bishop Show has never been on MeTV. It hadn't been seen on TV for awhile until Antenna TV started showing it this year. And the big thing about the Antenna TV airings is that they aired the season 1 episodes which hadn't been seen since they first aired in 1961-62.

I really like The Joey Bishop Show, it's lots of fun. Each season has good episodes but season 3 is my favorite, lots of guest stars and some of my favorite episodes are from that season. The episode with Phil Foster and Leo Durocher is good, the Jack Jones episode is good, the Andy Williams episode is good too.

Another good season 3 episode is Joey The Comedian vs. Larry The Writer, the first half of the episode is especially funny. Joey gets increasingly irritated because he only placed 12th for best comedian, while his writer Larry placed 1st for best comedy writer. The first part of the episode is very funny as Joey gradually loses his cool. :lol:

Didn't the Joey Bishop Show air on MeTV as well?
It aired on the Retro Television Network. Only the last 3 seasons though.

Antenna TV has a lot of shows I'd really like to see, but they've made them unwatchable since they started crunching the credits. Shame.

I don't like the credit crunches either but if Antenna TV airs a show I really like I won't let the credit crunches stop me from watching.

I've tried to ignore then but I just CAN'T.
