View Full Version : It's Time for Sanford and Son and Happy Days to leave TV LAND. Enough is Enough
TVFactFan 12-06-2003, 09:02 PM These two shows are STALE now and it's time for some fresh classics. Happy Days has been on TV Land since the summer of 2002 and it feels like Sanford and Son has been on just as long because it's played 5 times a Day. It's time for something else to replace these two shows. I think Two good replacements would be
Maude and Laverne and Shirley. TV LAND IT"S TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!!!
Brent88 12-06-2003, 09:03 PM and ANDY GRIFFITH! That show has been on TV Land forever...

Yeah that show Too.
Brent88 12-06-2003, 09:14 PM Every episode of AG has to have been on TV at least 500 times now.

Happy Days is only on once a day -- at 8:00am. And I think TV Land started airing it in January 2002, not the summer. There are lots of shows coming to TV Land in January, so Sanford & Son won't be airing 4-5 times per day.
Anyway, Andy Griffith and Sanford & Son are two of TV Land's highest rated shows. No chance of them leaving anytime soon.

It would be nice to see Alice. Maude and Laverne & Shirley have already aired on TV Land. It would be nice to see a return though. I personally would like to see One Day at a Time and What's Happening!! on TV Land.

What's Happening could probably be in the TV LAND Kitschen like Welcome Back Kotter since it only lasted 3 years.
Pav is it really true that Maude has not done well in syndication?

I don't understand why Kotter is in the Kitschen anyway. It had close to 100 episodes, while shows like Gidget have under 35 and aired on the regular lineup--Twice as Nice even!
Do you mean regular local syndication for Maude in the 70's? If so, I'm not sure. It's only airing on one or two locals right now, if I'm not mistaken.
Brent88 12-06-2003, 09:36 PM Andy Griffith high-rated? OK... I was afraid of that. I just can't get into black and white shows.

I meant how did Maude do on TV LAND. Did it receive good ratings?

I am not sure, it did air for a while at 11 p.m. or so. Maybe later on it did not do well, then it was reduced to a morning slot or late night only I think.
storrs19 12-07-2003, 01:21 PM I am soooooooo sick of Andy Griffith, Leave It To Beaver, Happy Days, Gilligan's Island, and The Brady Bunch. God, would they give these shows a rest for a year or so and bring on something we haven't seen in forever like Alice, What's Happening, One Day At A Time, The Addams Family, and WKRP (daily, not twice a week). That would be so nice for a change, but I'm not holding my breath. What really ticks me off is LITB is now back on twice in the afternoon, while Mr. Ed, which hasen't even been on 3 months yet is only on at 9:30am and 3:00am EST. Stupid !!!!!

MichaelLutton 12-07-2003, 02:49 PM i Agree 100% Andy Griffith Leave it to Beaver i Love Lucy can all go Sanford Happy days can stay. on shows they can put on are like more action tv action adventure shows and new comedies like

signed mike Lutton
hawaii five-o 12-07-2003, 04:50 PM The problem with TV Land is they show some of their shows too many times in a day and you get sick of them. I think each show should only air once a day. That way there would be more room for more shows.
Scoobiedoo30 12-07-2003, 05:00 PM I enjoy watching Sanford And Son weekday's at 3:00 pm
Monday-Saturday at 6:00 pm 6:30 pm and 8:00 pm on TV Land.
MichaelLutton 12-07-2003, 05:14 PM i agree too much leave it to beaver can kil a tv viewers appeite espically to much Andy Griffith and Gilligans island is the worst show on tv.old with old in with new. Any chance they be showing like old classic cartoons like
original He-Man,Masters of Universe
Transformers original
Tundercats
Voltron original
and some Action Adventure Shows like ones i metioned before look below
Knight Rider
Incredible Hulk
A=Team
Dukes of Hazzard
simon.simon
Fall Guy
etc
i think tv land needs a serious faceleft
Lady T 12-07-2003, 06:24 PM Even though I am a fan of Sanford and Son..I would not be heart broken if Tv Land decided to take the program off the air; it is over played and I have seen every episode more than three times...I would like to See Tv Land add new shows that the viewers have not seen in a while, like The Jeffersons, Maude or Chico and the Man...or bring back The Odd Couple..just something different....

something in that order more 80s shows out with old in with new,
White Lily 12-07-2003, 07:42 PM i like happy days, i watch it every day. i don't think tvland should get rid of it. but, i hate sanford and son
storrs19 12-08-2003, 02:39 PM Here's some shows I would love to see on TVLand or N@N.
I don't quite know where they fall in the grand scheme of things (i.e. these are newer than the "classics" yet not new enough to be "Modern TV Classics") but I grew up watching most of these and would love to see them again.
What's Happening, Gimme A Break, Differen't Strokes, Silver Spoons, Mr. Belvedere, One Day At A Time, Alice, Mork & Mindy, Dukes of Hazzard.
Most of these shows ran in the time span from 1975 to 1989, so they kind of overlap both boundries and I guess that is why no one shows them. You all know that horrible rotten "D" word. That is why there is no more variety in radio either. You either listen to one kind of music or constantly change the station :(

Penny Lane 12-08-2003, 04:33 PM I agree!
LaVerne and Shirley
Coach
8 is Enough
Family
Newhart
Kate And Allie
:nod: :nod: :nod:
Scoobiedoo30 12-08-2003, 05:00 PM I would love theses show's to come to tv land
#1 Night Court
#2 Alf
#3 The Hogan Family
#4 Benson
#5 227
#6 Empty Nest
#7 Wedster
#8 Coach
#9 NewHart
#10 Diff'rent Strokes.
LucyFan 12-08-2003, 11:30 PM I disagree. I think both Happy Days and Sanford and Son should stay on TV Land as long as they can. What can I say? They are CLASSICS! Anyways . . . I do agree that they should cut down on Sanford and Son some. 4x times plus a marathon each week is a bit too much for a show that only has 136 episodes.
I think they should rid of Leave it to Beaver altogether. That show has been on that channel for YEARS, it's time to give it a REST. Personally, I am so sick of that show. It's so overrated if you ask me. What they need to do is air Dennis the Menace instead. Now that's a timeless classic!
Czas na Zywiec 12-09-2003, 01:04 AM I agree with you SOLOMON. It's seems like I keep seeing the same Sanford and Son episodes over and over again.
I think they need to get rid of these shows for a while...a year or two at most.
Happy Days
Sanford and Son
Leave it to Beaver
I Love Lucy
Andy Griffith
The Brady Bunch
And add these in their place.
Laverne and Shirley
The Jeffersons
Maude
The Odd Couple
Three's Company (It'll be the only 70's show left on N@N after AITF moves over; it won't fit N@N's current genre.)
As for N@N, get rid of Full House (It's on ABC Family), The Cosby Show (It's on TBS), and Roseanne (It's on Oxygen). And then the shows that are on N@N won't be seen on multiple channels. Keep Cheers (SpikeTV would stop airing it with this schedule), Wings, and Family Ties. Then add Gimmie a Break, Diff'rent Strokes, Silver Spoons, Night Court and ALF. Get rid of Prince, but keep Who's The Boss coming. Here's a good schedule (It's been snowing non-stop since 8AM, so I have time on my hands. I normally do have a life. :p) And let's move N@N up a half an hour. That way, you get at least one airing of every show before 1AM.
8:30PM - ALF
9:00PM - Silver Spoons
9:30PM - Diff'rent Strokes
10:00PM - Gimmie A Break
10:30PM - Who's The Boss?
11:00PM - Family Ties
11:30PM - Night Court
12:00AM - Cheers
12:30AM - Wings
1:00AM - ALF
1:30AM - Silver Spoons
2:00AM - Diff'rent Strokes
2:30AM - Gimmie a Break
3:00AM - Who's The Boss?
3:30AM - Family Ties
4:00AM - Night Court
4:30AM - Cheers
5:00AM - Wings
Now who can hate a schedule like that? Wings is sort of misplaced since it's the only show that's predominantly in the 90's, but it doesn't really have another cable home. And since Cheers is there, I figured I'd leave it and put them right after the other.

Maude and Laverne and Shirley would be VERY GOOD replacments for Happy Days and Sanford and Son
Mr. Television 12-09-2003, 01:27 AM I haven't watch Sanford and Son in awhile because I saw most of the shows in a few months. I wish tv land would add Dukes Of Hazzard and Fall Guy. As for sitcoms they should add Gimme A Break, Chico And The Man, Maude and Silver Spoons.

Different Strokes is not a TV LAND type of show. Fits better on N@N
airwolf 02-01-2004, 06:20 PM Hello, I would like TVland to remove happydays and change the line up, and bring in some new stuff. I guess we need a turn around.:talk:
