Well after doing The Nick at Nite Log last year, here is The WTBS Log. I've tried to include every schedule that TBS has had since it began in December 1976, however I couldn't go back any further than August 9th 1980. But I've included two bonus schedules one from a week in November 1979 and one from the week of March 1980.

Here are some notes:

1. All info came from TV Guide and listings in Microfilm of newspapers especially The New York Times.

2. For the most part the schedules are accurate but remember, TV Guide is not always 100% correct so a schedule listed may be a week off.

3. Everything is listed in chronological order and I've listed only sitcoms, dramas, cartoons and some other things I thought were interesting (such as the TBS produced series, Rocky Road, Down to Earth, Safe at Home and The New Leave It to Beaver that aired in the late 80's)

4. I've broken up the scheules into the order of Sundays, Weekdays and Saturdays.

5. At times a new schedule listed may have major or minor changes, usually depending on the time of year. Usually major changes occured at the end of May and in September.

5. Times listed are Central Standard.

Here it is: TBS Log 1980- Present

Wow, you are the man...nice work. it was interesting skimming through it.

Thanks for your hard work!

Unbelievable...thanks for all your hard work...AMAZING work! Muchly appreciated...you did it again!!!

T H A N K Y O U !!!!!!!

Wow, awesome! I can't wait to see what log you'll be doing next!

One question though... why are reruns of the network soap opera "Texas" left out of the schedules? I was really wondering when that aired.



Greg

Amazing job! Some of those shows I had no idea were on TBS. Father Knows Best, That Girl, Bonanza, and even Too Close for Comfort! That Fall 1992 line-up brings back memories, actually most of the log does.

Great work! I didn't realize all of the shows that have aired in the past on TBS, I'm glad you were able to find all of the schedules from the past 20 years and beyond. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this log, I think this will be very helpful when it is needed.

Wow, that's excellent. It's terrific that you logged down all of those great shows and what times they came on into a timetable format.
:tv: :dance:


Keep up the good work. patriot:

I can't wait for a log for another network!!!!
:notworthy :thumbsup:


:yourock:

What an excellent job! I am so impressed with the information and the format that you did it in. There are so many surprises like Hazel, Family Affair, Ozzie and Harriet, Lassie...I never knew that they were even on TBS...thank you so much...you are the BEST!

To borrow the theme song title from "All in the Family," -Those Were the Days! I loved looking back over the schedule from TBS, remembering when the network was truly super.

I remember how TBS was one of the few channels I had on cable (2-13) pre-1979, and of the shows that I watched such as the "Flintstones," "I Love Lucy," "Perry Mason," "That Girl," "I Dream of Jeannie" and the Japanese import, "Space Giants."

I also loved the 80's schedule that rotated "Addams Family" and the "Munsters" every afternoon, as I came home from school. And who can forget the TBS original productions of "Rocky Road," "Safe at Home," and "Down to Earth."

Revisiting the old schedule was bittersweet in that while I loved thinking back to seeing those old shows on TBS, it saddens me that the channel no longer caters to classic television and has followed the Nick at Nite route of carrying only "modern" comedies.

Sorry, about that! I've updated the log and have included Texas. Look for it at 10:05AM from April 2, 1983-September 30, 1983.

It'll be back up soon, boechsner had a little problem uploading the updated log.

Sorry about that, everyone. The updated log is back now and includes Texas.

The log is truly amazing! It brings back so many memories. TBS was TV Land before TV Land was. Their morning line-ups were especially good.

Today, the channel that has a good line-up in the mornings is WGN. They show "California Dreams", "Beverly Hillbillies", and "Happy Days". What WGN needs to do is get rid of the syndicated stuff like "Celebrity Justice" and "Beyond" and get more classic shows. My fantasy line-up for WGN after "Happy Days":

9:30- Newhart
10 a.m.- Green Acres
10:30- NewsRadio

I'm sure a lot of people would love that line-up.

Actually the line up for the present is two dawson's creek and no little house on prairie

That's how I felt while browsing through the log. Brought back a lot of memories!

Thanks, boechsner. :)

TBS brings back a lot of memories. The 3 Stooges, "Hazel", "That Girl" and other show definitely classics from back in the early 80's. Last year, while TBS added the sitcoms lineup, "Full House" usually on. It had a logo like this at the bottom right of the screen.

Sorry! TBS ended "Full House" in favor of other comedy blocks. Thanks for the list of schedules that TBS had it back in the 70's. The memories lives on.

How long ago did TBS use the block lettering, with just TBS in blocks, anyone remember that logo? I know it was before the word superstation was in italics. I might be able to get a screen cap if anyone needs to see it.

That was great to see that TBS logboof of past schedules. When I look at TBS now, and then what they had along time ago, IMO, I think TBS was ALOT better in the 1980's-early 1990's.

I wish TBS would bring back Sanford and Son, I can always remember back in the 80s when I was a kid when my mother was fixing dinner I would watch Sanford and Son at 7:35 pm.

Those were the days.

Sorry to bump this up, but I did a follow up (a companion) listing the shows aired and when they aired. Check it out. (Not sure if boeschner was in the midst of one...)

Roseanne doesn't air from 3-4:30, or in your case 2-3:30 anymore. I think The Steve Harvey Show is in that timeslot now.

Nice find

I remember a while back that someone had posted a TBS Schedule log from 1976 - present. If someone can help me find where it is on this baord or if someone can post it again, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I believe I have it on my home PC. I will check when I go back home and then I can copy/paste it for you.

I'm new to the site, and first off I want to say thanks to boechsner for compling this list.

I'm working on a database/schedule for WTCG/WTBS/TBS from December 1976 when WTCG was first aired nationally to October 1, 2007 when TBS and WPCH split. So this list is a great help.

I was wondering if anyone had any more to add since boechsner released this list? I'm a collector of Braves games, and I've gotten a wealth of information from the games I've received that still had the promos intact. I've scoured youtube, and am currently searching newspaper archives online.

I'll be glad to share what I have, and am hoping more info surfaces from the great people here.

Thanks

Welcome to the site!!!:wave:


This is really an awesome list. Its a great job!! Also, in the log, lets not forget about Georgia Championship Wrestling/National Wrestling Alliance and World Championship Wrestling. They, along with the Braves, made WTBS what it is. Btw, wrestling was on there from 1972 to 2000.
