Should Good Morning Miss Bliss, The Original Saved by the Bell and Saved By The Bell The College Years all also be apart of the TNBC channel?

Saved By The Bell will have it's own channel.

My wish list for this channel is that it includes the following sitcoms:

Running The Halls, Silver Spoons (since they're including Punky Brewster) , USA High, SBTB The New Class and California Dreams.

Has anyone been watching this? So far the only show I've seen is Major Dad.

Amazon Freevee.

To follow up, it looks like they are running a full series at a time and they are currently in season 3 of Major Dad.

UGH. That sucks because if it's a show you don't like or are interested in, you need to wait for it to finish before getting to a new one. Super lame.

I don't get why these services can't just have an actual schedule with a variety of shows instead of just doing endless "binge blocks".

The press release mentions Hang Time and City Guys, but not California Dreams.

Ideally, any TNBC FAST channel should have all three of Hang Time, City Guys and California Dreams. And why is Major Dad part of the TNBC channel if it aired not on NBC, but on CBS?

They are running Punky Brewster until early Monday morning and then it's Weird Science according to the Xumo Play guide.

Are the episodes going to later appear on Amazon to watch there or can they only be watched live? If it's the latter that really sucks ass. I'm hoping all of the TNBC shows get aired(as well as the non-TNBC Peter Engel Shows USA High and Malibu, CA). When Hang Time airs again(heard it aired a couple of weeks ago, if anyone happened to record it please let me know), could you record the season 4 episodes "Just Friends" and "Sharing the Spotlight"? and the season 5 episode "Revolver, Problem Solver?" Those have been on my wish list for over a decade now.

They are airing Weird Science next week so USA Network shows are on the table , hopefully USA High is included. I also hope Malibu, CA is included.

Apparently they did show Hang Time on like the first week, unfortunately I missed it so i'll have to wait until they show it again, which will hopefully be sometime next month.

Because even though it aired on CBS it was actually produced by Universal Television which falls under NBC. It's actually not uncommon for TV shows to be produced by different companies then the networks they aired on. For example even though Charmed aired on The WB it's on Paramount Plus and not Max since the show was actually produced by CBS Studios. Likewise FOX were the ones that produced Buffy the Vampire Slayer even though it never aired on their network.

Someone on Reddit told me they managed to record the entire stream of Hang Time and six episodes were apparently not shown, they did however show the two currently missing season 4 episodes and that one season 5 episode so not sure which eps weren't shown during the stream and if it was an accident or intentional, guess we'll have to see if those six episodes turn up the next time the show streams.Wonder if the other shows were missing episodes as well?

Hooray Hang Time is airing again next week and i'm going to see those missing episodes no matter what!

The guy who recorded them(who i've not yet heard back from)mentioned at least six episodes were missing during the first run of that show and glancing through the schedule I can detect at least one episode still missing-Season 5 episode 12 "The Upset", the noteworthy thing about that one is that it guest stars NBA player Tim Hardaway which gives me a theory as to why this and five other episodes are missing-this show had quite a few guest-star appearances by professional athletes(Lisa Leslie, Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Cedric Ceballos, Mitch Richmond just to name a few)and NBC may have made the decision to omit certain episodes from rotation due to the athletes demanding royalties(the use of real-life sports team logos may be another factor as that's the likely reason why another sports-focused TV series-The Disney Channel sitcom "The Jersey" has never gotten any kind of home release and hasn't been aired on TV since 2004)from them.

Anyways the first airing of the missing season 4 episodes is early in the morning so i'm going to have to catch them at Wednesday October 25th from 4:53 PM to 5:38 PM(Central time for me, so add or subtract an hour if you live in a different US time zone)

Well speak of the devil I finally heard back from the guy today and he uploaded all of the missing episodes! I'll be posting links to them on the trading post section.
