Ok so I love SOAP, and I'm about to get cable service with TVLAND for the first time in a while, but I am confused. Does TVLAND own the rights to any of the later episodes? I remember last September they had an anniversary marathon and I recorded it, and I'm ready to watch the third season, but it seems like they're still at the second season.

Someone (at the time of the marathon) said that TVLAND only owns the first few seasons. Anyone can confirm that?

I believe TV Land has only aired episodes #24-#43, #49, in the marathon and #90 in Box Set, it's certainly better than nothing, but prior to their current deal with Screen Gems, they are only able to air a limited amount of episodes.
