One note starting Monday, March 29:

Star Trek: Deep Space 9 will be coming to Spike TV on Monday, April 5, 2004, airing weekdays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays at 4 p.m.

Also, an all-day marathon has been scheduled on Friday, April 9 from 9am-11pm. What better day to air a marathon on the ninth day of a month!

Effective Monday, April 5, 2004:
12:00PM Seven Days (replaces 2nd airing of MacGyver)
1:00PM Star Trek: TNG (replaces Seven Days)
7:00PM Star Trek: DS9 (replaces Star Trek: TNG)

Wow! Deep Space Nine so soon! I wasn't expecting it until the fall! Utterly awesome!

Cheers going? Oh, shoot. I like that timeslot. Oh, well. I guess its doing bad on TV Land AND ol' Spike.

On a side note, can the John Henson Project STOP already. I am so sick of seeing that goofball's face after every commercial break starts.

Some questions about these schedule changes:

Baywatch: being added at 10am, is it still going to air at 9am as well. I'm glad it will be on at a different time other than 9am, it's been since June. I hate it at 9am because anywhere from 2 minutes to the whole episode is cut out because of paid programming. Isn't Spike TV also supposed to air Baywatch Hawaii?

Miami Vice: while i'm happy about Baywatch in this slot, why is it leaving at the end of March? I thought Spike TV had rights to it until the end of the year? If they do still have the rights, do you think it will return?

MacGyver: Kind of weird to have it 11am/12pm and then reduce it down to just 11am. Pavanbadal, you mentioned before that you would like to see this on Spike, and now here it is.

Star Trek: When DS9 is added, Spike TV is going to still air TNG at 1/2/8pm, yet they are only going to air DS9 at 7pm? I know TNG has more episodes, but it seems they would atleast air DS9 2 times a day and in that 8pm timeslot. Why did Spike TV decide to do DS9 in April instead of September?

Cheers: I do not see this returning to Spike TV again, which I think is a shame.

V.I.P. & American Gladiators: any idea of if/when these series will return to Spike TV?

Are there really any other upcoming series to Spike TV (other than the next Star Trek series in 06) or do you think they'll just borrow more shows from TV Land?

Yes, starting March 29, it'll air two times -- 9am and 10am. I don't know if they have the Hawaii episodes.

I'm not sure if it will return. Hopefully it does.

It was SO obvious that TV Land was going to let Spike TV borrow MacGyver. I am betting by like April or so, TV Land will take it off and let Spike just air it.
Yes, DS9 is just at 7 p.m. weekdays and ST: TNG in the afternoon at 1 and 2 p.m. and again at 8 p.m.

I don't think American Gladiators will return, but just my guess. V.I.P. -- maybe. Cheers, who knows.

I don't know of any other acquired series coming to Spike TV other than M-F airings of CSI this fall, the Star Trek franchise, and possibly Alias --which isn't final yet.

I think that maybe a few months later, Spike TV will remove Baywatch from the schedule and show Miami Vice two times a day. It is weird that Baywatch will replace Miami Vice on March 29, why can't they just wait until the next week when they make the other schedule changes?

March 29 is going to be a good day for David Hasselhoff fans with Baywatch getting an additional timeslot on Spike TV and Knight Rider returning to SciFi.

I think VIP will come back, they only aired it for 10 months. Before they lose the rights to Baywatch they will put it and VIP next to each other on the line up so they can promote back to back Pamela Anderson.

I think maybe CSI will move into the 8pm slot this fall.
