Well, today began the new schedule on TV Land and some of you are probably angry because some of your favorite shows were put on the back burner for awhile, giving other shows a chance to shine.

For me, however, I love this new schedule because:

1. The Brady Bunch finally gets some decent timeslots after being buried in a 6:00a.m. timeslot all summer.

2. The Jeffersons finally gets some timeslots during the day.

3. Leave It to Beaver gets continued exposure, which I enjoy, but hope they begin to cut back as not to lead to overexposure, if that hasn't already happened.

4. The Bob Newhart Show gets some airtime, even though I never cared for the show.

5. Happy Days fans get a hearty dose after the show was pulled earlier this year

6. All in the Family fans finally get to see Archie Bunker's Place.

However I do have some suggestions for improvement:

1. Drop the second Hillbillies episode in the morning and replace it with Green Acres or Petticoat Junction.

2. Give The Munsters a break and air The Addams Family for awhile and then alternate back and forth every couple of months.

3. Drop Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. and replace it with Mr. Ed.

All in all, TV Land is still a great network, with a great schedule. For those of you who don't like it, just be patient. I'm sure Batman and I Love Lucy will be back in the front burner soon. Just be patient and understand that all shows that TV Land airs has fans who need some much needed indulgence.

What is there new sked? I stopped paying attention.

The one thing I am happy about is that Tv Land is now showing Archie Bunker's Place. That's probably the best move they did on this whole schedule switch.

I agree Jenny.

And great post boechsner; yeah, all shows need time to be moved around, so TV Land can determine where a show fits well. I really did think Lucy was doing good at 9:00... Batman also was doing pretty well at 7:00pm, but TV Land screwed that up.

Yeah, I agree boechsner, bring on some more classics, get rid of Gomer (which I believe will be leaving at the end of the year anyway). Bob Newhart is okay, not one of my major faves, glad it's back though; Jeffersons deserve their timeslots, same with Brady Bunch and Happy Days; I for one think they really need to cut back on Beaver, Hillbillies, Gilligan's okay. I believe also the Jeffersons are leaving with Gomer as well (don't quote me on anything here) so that may be why they have those new timeslots; same with Brady Bunch. So, I suggest you guys all record what you can, while you can.

I never really watched Charlie's Angels while it was on TV Land, but when they got rid of it, it really surprised me; Waltons leaving didn't.

And, I hate to say this, but don't count on Archie Bunker's Place as a regular; it's part of the Screen Gems deal, which expires soon (which is why Monkees, Donna Reed, Dennis, Father Knows Best, Hazel, SWAT, etc. are only on for limited periods of time). I'm pretty sure ABP will last through December, but I pray they show all 4 seasons, instead of just the first 36 (like Donna, Dennis, etc.)

Start taping The Jeffersons, it expires aftter Dec 31. ABP will not be around most likely after December 31st.
Hillbillies and Gomer are also leaving after Dec 31.
Munsters I think expires end of May 2003. TV Land has atleast 6 new shows coming this winter, Bewitched, Jeannie, Sanford & Son, and more. And the more will be released lated, but boechsner, you might be happy.

I've been begging Pav to tell me the other shows, LOL, be he won't budge. Well, If Pav thinks boechsner might be happy, boechsner's listed shows I do enjoy as well, so hopefully the mystery shows are good ones. Oh, Pav, wasn't Rockford leaving as well? So many shows leaving, sheesh! Pav, could you tell us if the mystery shows are before or after the 80s? LOL. I'll get it out of you...

Rockford and Taxi are leaving as well. Kids Say as well, yes even on TNN, it expires Dec 31.

No hints on the other shows.

Does this mean, you know or at least have ideas what they're going to be?

I think he does ;) but hey, I understand he probably can't say anything, at least not until November or December.

I'm trying to narrow it down, but he won't say if it's a returning show (like S&S, etc) or a new show... I'm betting they're returning shows, because he mentioned your post boechsner, and you listed some shows previously on TV Land....

Well, hopefully soon Pav can tell us.

Pß, please, can you at least tell us how many shows are coming? I have my money on 4 new shows other than Jeannie, Bewitched, and S&S. I think three are gonna be new and one is returning. I think the new ones will be "Dallas," "Three's Company," and "WKRP." I have a gut feeling that "Rhoda" or "Maude" will be making returns...

I have to admit; I do know about one new show Pav hasn't listed, but I honestly can't say anything to you guys. It's up to him. And I really can't say anything else, because he'll hunt me down and kill me! All I can says is that it's a drama/hourlong show. I probably can't even say that... LOL; Pav, just edit this if you want.

Why all the secrecy? What's the big deal? We're going to find out sooner or later.

In any case,

The shows that I mentioned as suggestions were:

Green Acres
Petticoat Junction
The Addams Family
Mr. Ed

Pavanbadal stated that "TV Land has atleast 6 new shows coming this winter, Bewitched, Jeannie, Sanford & Son, and more. And the more will be released lated, but boechsner, you might be happy.

So perhaps he was hinting that at least one of those shows may return to TV Land.

According to TVJunkie 101, an hour long drama may be coming. I hope it's Dallas.

Tell TV Land that, they are the ones who think everything is a secret.

I know only of 6, 4 are confirmed, 2 are not yet. So that is why I can't say, TV Land is very overprotective.
BTW, the shows you mentioned I have heard nothing about.

I wish it were Dallas; but it's not. That's all I can probably say, until Pav feels it's the right time to reveal the new hourlong show coming on; I can hint at this though, it's a crime/drama type show. Yeah, I can't stand the fact TV Land is keeping quiet, WHY? I mean, lol. I hope it's at least 2 of the shows you mentioned boechsner (all 4 would be great!)

"Starsky & Hutch"?

I smell negotiation...

If one of us guesses one of the shows, one of you must spill the beans on all of the shows, and I *think* I hit the nail right on the head when I said "Starsky & Hutch." Let me guess, you and Pß signed up for that TVLand Insider thing?

No, no Insider. TV Land wouldn't even announce that to the public. He got that 1 hour show from me. I can't say what it is is yet, but it is not S&H. Sorry, I just can't say. Because if it doesn't come or the deal falls a part TV Land will kill me so much for announcing it and then they will be all over me again. I'll just give you a hint--the 1 hour show I think is crap. It's a late 80's show. It is very tentative right now, so I can't tell you. Don't worry, this will probably be the place you'll hear it first anyway.

Yeah, see, I can't tell either. I get all my info from Pav. So I can't say a word. I personally hope the deal falls through on this one hour show, I don't like it either, and most of you probably won't either. And even if you guess it correctly, whose to say we'd say anything? The hour show most likely will take Rockford's place on the lineup (PURE speculation on my part) because Rockford is leaving, right? All I know is what Pav said: expect BIG changes on TV Land come January, because a lot of shows are leaving (he's listed them somewhere) if he wants, I can list the shows leaving. TV Land probably won't care about that...

I prefer not to know anyhow LOL until like a month or two in advance cause then it isn't as long of a wait LOL. Hmm Looking forward to TV Land in January to see what they're keeping and what they're dropping (other then the shows htey're losing rights to if they even drop any other then those).

I agree, I'd hate to see TV Land lose the rights to some of the long awaited sitcoms that are part of the screen gems deal and see them leave. It would be interesting to know what shows TV Land is keeping secret from, but I guess I'd like to be surprised. I wouldn't like it for it to ruin my expectations, but I guess, some shows must come and go, and new shows will have to air. I'm waiting for the December and January schedules to be posted, I think TV Land has some surprise in for us. I'm thinking, most of shows that won't air very long will be took of, and TV Land will loose rights to some of their shows. But overall I can't wait to see what TV Land has for the upcoming months.

I have to comment that ABP should actually be on N@N with AITF, because it's really not a spin-off. But anyways, I felt that ABP was a weaker version, but it's first season was EXCELLENT. Unfortunely, with the goofy and silly characters that followed...Archie just wasn't Archie to be anymore.

Now that you narrowed it down to late 80's, I'm kind of disappointed, I was hoping for Knight Rider or even The Dukes of Hazzard.

Hi,

I really like the new schedule! Hope TV Land can stick to it for awhile!

How long does TV Land have the rights for Leave it to Beaver? That is a classic among classics and I hope that this show will continue to be renewed!

I would like to see the Addams Family return to TV Land

I would like to see The Bob Newhart Show either moved to an afternoon time slot or repeated in the afternoon! (I would even take 1 less showing of the Brady Bunch for Bob Newhart in the afternoon!)

Gomer Pyle should go. Not a fan of The Beverly Hillbillies either
I stopped watching Archie Bunker when the original All in the Family left the air.

What about Green Acres and the Odd Couple? Any word on when those shows might be returning or a new contract renewal for them? Thanks!

Jack

Maybe TV Land is FINALLY getting the long awaited B&W episodes of "Petticoat Junction" that they've suppose to have brought us so many times in the past.

I Wish the Odd Couple was back

Sanford & Son and that drama show are coming to TV Land in January.

Bewitched and Jeannie are coming sometime in 2003, as well as the other shows I was talking about.

I wish I knew as well. Pav won't tell me a thing about the new shows. I'm disappointed by the new drama coming, again, I don't think anyone will be that thrilled with it.

I know a little bit more, but I can't say, I don't know any show names, or anything, just what type of shows ar coming, but it's not up to be to say a thing. Pav, just assure everyone they'll be happy with what's coming (besides the drama). TVL will be good, I can guarantee that.

The only thing I will say is that do *not* worry about TVL turning "modern" anytime soon, because of the type of shows coming eventually.

I probably said too much as it is, but for now, Im in the dark as much as you guys, LOL.

Pav will probably spill when he can, but understand, he can't broadcast anything to far in advance because of TVL, they've gotten on him before about revealing too much too soon.

And I *really* don't understand why TVL thinks everything is some big secret, LOL, I mean they are so vague and mysterious, like it's some big secret.
