Nick@Nite schedule note: Because of the non-stop Cosby Show Christmas Marathon airing Dec 25-28, Nick@Nite will pre-empt The Cosby Show's 10-11 p.m. airings December 19-24, to save the number of airplays for The Cosby Show.

So, Friday, December 19 to Wednesday, December 24, Roseanne will air 10 and 10:30 p.m., and it will also air 3 and 3:30 a.m., pre-empting All in the Family/Wings. Roseanne will also still air in its usual 11 and 11:30 p.m./2 and 2:30 a.m. slots.

The schedule will return to normal on Monday, December 29, and the minor changes that are supposed to happen on Thursday, January 1, will still happen (see the January thread).

ANOTHER Cosby Show marathon?:soapbox:

I have officially given up on N@N after reading this thread. Another Cosby Show marathon .... COME ON!!! And where are the Wings Christmas episodes? I mean if they're showing the Coach Christmas episode. I like Coach and all, but it's not even on their channel anymore. And then N@N always has the cocky attitude like they're just so generous. A N@N fan since the 1980's has officially stopped watching. I'll watch my Wings tapes from USA, just so I don't have to see the blue bug in the corner.

Wings is not part of the Christmas stunt, but that doesn't mean the Wings Christmas episodes will not air in it's timeslot. I'm sure they will air that week of December 22 (episode info is not in yet).

What's worse is that it is 4 NIGHTS! 4 NIGHTS OF COSBY SHOW!!! 64 episodes!:mad:

ANOTHER Cosby Show marathon? :barf:

I wouldn't mind Full House and Roseanne holiday marathons too much if they would also include Cheers and Wings Christmas episodes. (ETA- Oh wait, I do see one Cheers episode.)

I'm with Adam. I am sick of N@N's treatment of Wings. I know I should be thankful that they're showing it at all, but I am really not happy with the way it's being treated. We get four episodes of Cosby before we get even one episode of Wings. The Cosby Show seriously needs a break!

Cool THanks for the tips! :)

I hope TVLand does it usual thing of running all kinds of classic Christmas episodes...

I like Cosby, but enough's enough!!!

I like the Cosby Show, so I'm happy. :) Sorry!!!

Cosby Show Weekend? As if we haven't had enough of those already.

Luckily, I'll be out of the country. :D

WOOHOO!!

Christmas episodes!!


I love The Cosby Show, but do go ruining my Christmas weekend....

but, Cheers-Season 2 comes out less than 2 weeks after Christmas.... so Im set.

I always love Christmas specials...:)

Except when it's 8 hours straight of the same show for 4 nights!!!

Yes!! I`m so happy that they`ll be playing "Three`s Christmas!!" I love the holidays! I can`t wait till after Thanksgiving, everyone seems to get into the spirit. Also, I can`t wait to see Joyce DeWitt. Mayber she`ll sing. :)

Geez! Five nights of TCS? Five nights, eight hours each, that's 40 hours of TCS. Why? What has anyone ever done to deserve such a punishment? Like we need hours on end, day after day, after day, after day, after day, of it. All I can say is ENOUGH already! Also, there are a lot of ways to spend your time and Christmas, and believe me the best way ISN'I watching TCS, like N@N says. I disagree, TCS isn't the most famous family. Maybe the most sickening, but that's it.
I

I know what you mean. I can't wat until some new management comes to N@N.

I mean it was one thing when "The Cosby Show" was new to N@N. But it's been on for like a year or more. Give the show a rest already.

And that line about "What better way to spend the Holidays than with N@N's most famous family?" made me sick to my stomach. It just furiates me. I won't be watching it. But I'm sure it will be a ratings success. It always is. :mad:

If these Cosby Show marathons dont stop, Nick At Nite will have a famous song: "It's The End Of The Road" by Boyz 2 Men.

Try 19 months....19 months it's had those 4 airings before 1AM. Sickening.

This Cosby thing has to stop. Always having 4 episodes a night and all night marathons all the time isn't good. If N@N wants to air all night marathons for 4 nights, they air one night of Cosby and then 3 other shows the remaining nights. Then N@N wouldn't be excluding the viewers of all of their other shows.

As for the regular schedule, I think N@N would do well copying what TV Land is doing in the afternoons. With the exception of Leave It To Beaver at 3 and Sanford and Son at 7, they've gotten rid of Twice as Nice and now have six different shows on from 4 to 7pm. If N@N eliminated their Double Takes, it would be a better channel.

I'm glad N@N cancelled the encores of that stupid holiday special. :D

The Nick at Nite Holiday Special will have a special encore on sister network--TV Land! It will air on Monday, December 8 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

You mean to tell me that not only are they going to air four nights of TCS on N@N all night, but then they are going to turn around and air the same show/same episodes again of TCS on TV Land? When will the madness end? TCS doesn't belong on TV Land. Why is N@N choosing to have TCS air the holiday special AGAIN on TV Land? Haven't we been subjected to enough of Bill Cosby already?

The Nick@Nite Holiday Special has nothing to do with The Cosby Show...

Unless you're thinking about Raven, she is in the special, a long with stars like Martin Mull, Jackee, Joyce DeWitt, and Ted Danson.

The holiday special had nothing to do with any show...

I agree, I guess N@N has never heard the expression "too much of a good thing". Eventually people will get sick of it being shoved down their throats. I don't buy that it does as well as they say it does. Ratings can be made to look good "fluffing" so to speak.

:mad: :mad:

haha
I just noticed.... They are airing TCS marathon starting on Christmas right?? And it doesnt even have a Christmas episode!!
TCS must be pulling in HUGE ratings for N@N to treat it so great.

A little note for the next few days ONLY:

N@N actually Pre-empting Cosby to conserve airings????/ Holy (beep).

That's what I am saying, but I have to complain about Roseanne. 8 times a night??? Isn't that a little much? I am a fan of the show, but it's already on 4 times a day on Oxygen. Looks like Roseanne is well on it's way to becoming the next Cosby Show.
