Why in the WORLD did we get 4 episodes of Dawson's Creek in the mornings the past month!? Did the CEO get drunk or something on an early April Fool's party and sign a contract?! And why do they show "Lois and Clark" in the morning now, did Dean Cain threaten to quit the network (as if that'd be a tragedy) if they didn't show his show? Why'd they stop showing Full House? (Even though that's old news, I never got the full story) And here we have Saved by the Bell from 6:00 AM-8:00 ET, then 11:00 AM-12:00 PM ET, again I say, what's going on? Lastly, on this "Non-stop Comedy Block" where we have "The Best sitcoms on TV", why is "Drew Carey" on there? His show didn't/doesn't have that good of ratings, did/does it? [/end rant]

TBS is stupid sometimes... lol. But, Full House is moving to Nick At Nite in October I think.

TBS, N@N, MTV, and a whole lot of other networks have been heading down the toilet.

The Drew Carey Show had good ratings in it's first few seasons. It also does very well in syndication, or so I've heard.

Dawson's Creek was airing 4x because it was part of the deal that TBS would air it 4x a day as part of a celebration of the show leading up to the show Series Finale on the WB. Now that the Finale is tommorrow night we will get 2 episodes of DC after the two Lois and Clarkes.

I'm glad to see that "Saved By The Bell" finally got a decent timeslot. It deserves it.

From TNT. I guess the ratings were decent or maybe the contract is almost over and they are just airing it until the contract runs out? anyone know when the contract with Turner Broadcasting runs out for L&C?

Nick@Nite bought the exclusive network rights so that means that TBS could not air it anymore. It will only be seen on Nick@Nite, as well as some local stations. but Nick@Nite is the only NETWORK that will air the show.

What happened with Little House on the Prairie? I set the timer for it one day, and all I see is that crappy Dawson's Creek. It made me so friggen mad!!!!!! Here I am ready to watch one of my favorite dramas, and what do I see? A bunch of the most annoying teenagers/early twentysomethings I have ever seen! They've been on for about six years, and they get four episodes everyday? LHOTP was on for 10 years and they only aired it once a day? It would take forever forthem to get through them all, not to mention that they don't even show the episodes in order! Let me cool down........

OK. Now, this "Non-stop Comedy Block" thing makes me so annoyed! For every single show they air, they have to air some kind of promo for the NSCB at least three times through out the show! They aren't even funny shows! You want a nonstop comedy block? Try an hour of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman followed by an hour of Three's Company and an hour of Laverne & Shirley! Those show are funny, the shows on TBS's nonstop comedy block are not, IMO.

This is just my opinions but I like TBS More now.THEY just have to get rid of "Saved by the bell" and or add a short-lived sitcom.

No thanks, I'll pass on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. That show is like watching paint dry on a wall. Instead, they should air these four ABC hits from the late 1970's right in this row: [each show will have an hour's worth of airing] Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Three's Company and Mork and Mindy.

Well what TBS is trying to do is attract a YOUNG/TEEN audience with show they can releate two as good as 70's shows are they don't attract young/teen audicences. The schedule is fine... if u want old shows watch TVLAND, not TBS.

Hey Seinfeld and Home Improvement are pretty funny, but not Friends and Drew Carey. Actually, Drew Carey IS funny sometimes, but the show's so nasty I don't like it. Maybe they should get rid of the latter and add, like, 3rd Rock From the Sun, and, I dunno, maybe Golden Palace? ^_^

Since I grew up in the 90's, I never watched Dawson's Creek. When the finale aired, I watched it, eager to see what it was like. One day, I was flipping channels when I saw it on TBS. I got hooked on it, so now I watch it at 10:00 am (EST) and 11:00 am. I like shows like Dawson's Creek, The Wonder Years, 7th Heaven, etc., since I'm just becomming a young teen, and those shows, for some bizarre reason, attract me. Go figure. (I sure don't act like a young teen do I? I'm just weird. When you have older siblings, you tend to grow up 10x quicker XD).

Well its all a matter of opinon, i personally LOVE "Dawson's Creek", "Friends", "Home Improvement" but hate "Drew Carey" and "Seinfield" the reason these shows are on is because they get high ratings. Thats it it has nothing do with quality it is all ABOUT ratings. TBS is trying to attract a YOUNG audience they don't give a hoot about anyone older than 35. That's why i suggest that if u don't like the shows that TBS has to offer that you watch another network like TVLand or hell, CBS!

Well, I don't have full cable, so I don't get TVLand, unfortunately.
