Small Wonderian · 08-25-2003, 01:21 PM

The whole lineup for WGN this fall seems really good.

Family Matters would most likely be on ABC Family by September 10, but then again I could be wrong.

Pavan · 08-25-2003, 01:23 PM

Family Matters leaves TBS after September 6.

ABC Family has the rights but are not airing it in September as of now. Hopefully later this fall it will start.

*PinkLady* · 08-25-2003, 04:28 PM

Good, no more Family Matters. I wish I could say the same for the Cosby Show.

musicradio77 · 08-25-2003, 09:36 PM

"Family Matters" leaves the air soon. I missed Steve Urkel and the guys. WPIX hasn't leave yet but soon. WGN used to aired the show called "Full House" some years ago. Never intended to air on WGN again. I missed "Family Matters". We will never have that Steve Urkel thing again.

THE END
of an era for "Family Matters".

Family Matters is airing on ABC Family starting in either September or October.

Great lineup,except for the Sharon Osbourne show. Her husband,Ozzy,didn't make the grade with his garbled rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" in Chicago the other day

. I am glad that they decided to put the dating shows to the late night hours where they belong in the first place.

bb · 08-26-2003, 10:12 AM

Kinda surprised WGN is airing Sharon Osbourne on its national feed. Wouldn't the local stations across the country that carry Sharon have a say in this? I would think they would.

Some local stations are very funny ( not in a comedy way ) when it comes to cable networks airinf the same thing as they do. On vacation last year I remember the TBS showing of Friends was "blocked out" on the hotel tv because the local FOX station there aired Friends as well, at the same time.

Wow! ABC Family will air "Family Matters" probably soon and Steve Urkel will be back on the right track. I hope ABC Family will stick with the two short-lived shows with the Olsen Twins, "Two of a Kind" and "So Little Time".

Freakzilla · 08-28-2003, 03:53 PM

Last year, WGN aired Beyond with James Van Progh along with the locals. So it's not surprising they could air Sharon Osborne. WGN also airs many other shows that are on locals, showing the same episodes as the local stations because WGN and locals get the same feed.

The "Friends" thing kind of reminds of when I used to try to watch "Cheers" on WGN about 1990. You'd see the first scene, then the rest of the episode would be blocked out. I guess WGN and TBS figured out a way where they could air more current shows without causing problems with local stations.

Pavan · 09-01-2003, 01:44 PM

WGN has changed their schedule a bit, Sharon Osbourne will now air at midnight. I edited the thread to accompany these changes. Check the first post out.

Czas na Zywiec · 09-01-2003, 09:33 PM

I get WGN.

So this means that 'The Cosby Show' will be airing 11 times a day in my city on 4 different channels. Ha. Ahaha. A little bit too much overexposure if you ask me.

5:30AM (WB2)
6:00AM (WB2)
11:30AM (TBS)
12:00PM (TBS)
3:00PM (WGN)
3:30PM (WGN)
8:00PM (N@N)
8:30PM (N@N)
10:00PM (N@N)
10:30PM (N@N)
11:30PM (WB2)

I think those are all the air times in my area, starting at the end of September. I guess anyone who obsesses over Cosby and needs to tape it would just love to move to the Denver/Boulder metro area.

If I could, I would.

musicradio77 · 09-08-2003, 01:25 PM

Pavanbadal, does "Full House" usually ran on WGN the way TBS and WPIX did about a year ago which they had an old WGN logo before it became "Superstation WGN" on the bottom right of the screen where one of the Olsen Twins are? I found this pic. This will now becomes a Nick at Nite logo for this show next month as describe in the same picture.
