Over the past year, TV Land has shown the following "Father Knows Best" episodes:

1-2
4-7
9-38
46-47
59
72
78
105
107
116
130
157
165
192
203

I've never been very good at calculus:crazy:, but if someone can figure out a pattern in these showings, please let us know. My hunch is that TV Land did not buy a package, but is picking and choosing from the entire series based on schedule demands and holidays, etc.

My hunch is that we'll get the whole series sometime in '03.

Merry Christmas!! :tree: :stocking: :tree: :stocking: :tree: :stocking: :tree: :stocking: :tree: :stocking:

I'd love to believe with you that TVLand purchased the whole series and will eventually run it, but I don't buy it. I think they only got selected shows and are running those.

IF they did get the entire series and are only running these same episodes, they are even dumber than I thought.

Happy New Year, B&W!

I think I just found some very good news for the group. Checking the January FKB schedule over at TV Now.com, the legendary lost and forgotten "Thanksgiving Day" episode is actually slotted to be shown on January 10th.(!) This thing has not been part of any syndication package since the 1960s. It was NOT part of TV Land's FKB run earlier this year. So the fact that it will be shown on the 10th is a very good sign that TV Land will be going straight through from the beginning of the series to the end.

But you're right, we should never underestimate the dumbness of TV Land. Let's keep our fingers crossed. :eyes2:

TV Land Dumbness strikes again!

The TV Now schedule had it wrong -- TV Land will NOT be showing the Thanksgiving show, again skipping it(as they are skipping episode #3).

So I guess we will be again stuck with just the first 35 episodes.

THAT DOES STINK!!!

I was really looking forward to seeing that episode. I don't remember it at all. It's been almost 20 years since I've seen a long run of the series, and I'm quite certain it's the ONLY show in my personal top 25 favorites where I can't say I've seen every episode! DARN TVLand!!
