Why does N@N suck all of a sudden? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

silentbri · 07-30-2001, 12:42 AM

What the heck is up with all these "Back to back" episodes on N@N? Night after night, it get's really boring. If they had more sitcoms in the mix, it might be okay... but I strictly prefer a wide variety. Is THe Jeffersons coming on next? Oh well... all I have to do is wait a half an hour till something better comes on. But with these back-to-back monstrosities, I have to stay awake for a FULL HOUR!

Who's with me? Who want's the old N@N back, with lots of variety?

The only back-to-back show I like is Three's Company. I'd actually prefer it to be back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to...well, you get the idea!

But I hear you! More variety would be good.

The only back to back shows I can stand are Brady Bunch ... and I will really like Gilligan's Island on Mondays starting next weeek!

But why even DO them back-to-back? God (or a tleast the sitcom pantheon of gods... Gary Marshal, Sherwood Schwartz, and Norman Lear) mad sitcoms a half-hour for a reason, ya know? People should only have to endure a half hour of a certain wakiness before it's time to move on.

Desperately hoping I make it past the 5th season of my life.

NRW I think has the most shows on N@N (Three's Company, THe Jeffersons, and worked for Norman Lear on All in the Family)

I think that they should bring back the old schedule

SAME HERE! it's the only back to back I like! although I'd want them to play every single ep every night!!!!!!!!!!! THREE'S COMPANY ALL NIGHT LONNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

The thing about Nick at Nite I've been wondering is Why Three's Company lost its Mon-Thur time slot after the Un Real a Thon? They moved Jeffersons and All in the Family up & then they put in I Love Lucy and Gilligans!

All in all I'd rather watch Success N Life (with Robert Tilton!!!) on BET at 4:00 AM than Gilligans!!! So what in the World is Slick Nick doing over there? Who knows. And according to pavanbadal there's gonna be a Gilligans! Un Real a Thon on Monday (replacing Lucy). Probably sending them on their way to TV Land or whoever. Amen.

The only show worth watching on N@N is "The Brady Bunch" (besides the occasional "Gilligan's Island"). They should bring back "The Wonder Years," "Happy Days," and "Laverne & Shirley." They should add "Perfect Strangers" and maybe throw in a few of the Brady specials that aired after the original series ("The Brady Kids," "The Brady Bunch Hour," "The Brady Brides," and "The Bradys" stand out). I wouldn't mind wall to wall, cheek to jowl Brady shows at all!

As for the shows they are adding later this year, I know I will have my TV set tuned into TVLand instead!
