9-10 PM: "The Brady Bunch" (Sun)
10-11 PM: "Cheers"
11-12 PM: "Family Ties"
12-1 AM: "Cheers"
1-2 AM: "Family Ties"
2-3 AM: "Three's Company"
3-4 AM: "All in the Family"
4-5 AM: "The Jeffersons"
5:30 AM: "The Brady Bunch"

So, we get four hours of "Cheers" & "Family Ties" from 10 PM-2 AM: Oh Goody! Eek

As of today Sunday Nov 18 at 9:16 PM I am now looking at Family Ties! And I'll bet they do a double take tonight. Looks like Nik at Nite changed the schedule again; Shocking Now:

Why is it other networks can keep a fixed schedule and Nik at Nite keeps changing around? Its really hard to keep up with at times.

Oh geez! Steven and Elise just grounded Mallory cause she's marrying Nick. Gotta run.

And so it goes for Nik at Nite. 9:30 PM EST and I'm now watching the famous 2 parter where Mallory & Nick get married? Stay tuned if you can stand Slick Nick.

Yep Nick and Mal are eloping and I ask another Nik question:

Who had the bright idea of showing Brady Bunch on the 3rd Shift at 5:00 AM? Alas it does provide a catharsis for the late night factory workers as they dig the righteousness of the Grid or as they Curse the Douche Bag that is Cousin Oliver, but it must be said:

I agree with James.

They need to at least show their programs at a proper time, like for example Brady Bunch at 9:00 PM or some suitable time NOT the Graveyard Shift. And they need to bring back decent shows like the Wonder Years and what have you.

I have mixed feelings about the double takes. On the one hand you see more of a show, but on the other hand you tie up the TV time. I for one though think 5 or 6 shows could work if they were the best thing in town; however, more shows would be better. At least 9=10 for a Nik at Nite setup would be better.

I also agree w/the Viacom Math. Cheers and Family Ties are getting an absurd push possibly because of their association w/Viacom & Paramount. Cheers in particular is a curious selection for Nik at Nite though for its as the vernacular goes "widely syndicated". As I've said before, much like a Moses talking to the Hebrew Children of Israel in the Wilderness, Cheers is a story show. You have to watch it constantly or you'll lose interest. The comedy is dry at best, not Seinfeldian (and the irony!...for Cheers is set in a Bar! where they serve Dry Martinis...never mind) which indeed turns off this show for me Anyway. I remember exactly one show of Cheers! The one w/Kevin McHale. You see the Celtics used to be good w/Bird, McHale, & Parish. That's why I remembered it!

But Three's Company at 2 AM? Ridiculous to the Core, no not the Core of a Nuclear Reactor when its melting down, but the Core of One's Being.

Amen.

Yes Nik at Nite could stand improvement. Personally I'll evaluate it now:

Lineup Preference for the Man of Barnes:

Brady Bunch: Groovy!

Cheers: Er No

Family Ties: All right a B- for I got a Buzz on Opening Night

All in the Family: Enjoy it

Three's Company: Very funny; rivals the 3 Stooges, but yet has that Nectar's Ambrosia that makes it Sweet in its Adult Portrayal

Jeffersons: Decent

So 5 of 6 shows grade out decent now but:

DoubleTake Repeats, Changing Schedules (Constantly!), Starting Times Being Off, Niktoons Clogging Up the Channel (All Day! Easy my Man!) make this network a bit daft at times.

So the Nik at Nite Grade:

C

Amen.

Nik at Nite's latest slogan:

Keep on Keaton On. Just saw it on TV.

I kid you not.

What the heck...give it a D

Amen.

Well time for a Shawy Shaw. Yep I'm taking a Shower.

Cheers

Same here. I absolutely loved their fall 1998 line-up: Brady Bunch, Wonder Years, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, I LOVE LUCY, and Bewitched. I really enjoyed that line-up and boy do I miss it a lot. Nick at Nite has changed a lot since 1998 and it is never going to be the same again. The only show I watch on Nick/N@N is "Three's Company". I have totally lost interest in the channel. I don't like their schedules at all, they are terrible.

And did you notice how many shows left this year:
"The Facts of Life"
"Diff'rent Strokes"
"Gilligan's Island"
"Laverne & Shirley"
"The Beverly Hillbillies"
"Taxi"
"The Wonder Years"
"I Love Lucy"

And maybe "Newhart"...."Taxi", "The Wonder Years", and "Newhart" moved on to TNN (And then to TV Land and ABC Family", "I Love Lucy" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" went to TV Land, and "Gilligan's Island" still aired on TBS and Turner South, and L&S, FOL, and DS are homeless.....

And I think "Three's Company" is the only show left that was introduced in 2000, and it's on at 2:00 AM!

As I have said before and I will say again Its not nick at nite anymore its The Cheers Network.The only thing left worth watching on nick at nite(The Cheers Network) Is Three's Company.Which is on to late for me to watch and lots of other people who have to get up early.Family Ties is ok but now its just getting old and I don't think I'm going to watch it anymore.Then there's the fact that FOL,DS,L&S,and lots of other shows aren't on anymore.Which makes it even worse.I hate nick at nite and thats all there is to it.

No "Cheers" has nothing to do with it...it's "The Brady Bunch".They've been on N@N for Three years and they have the first timeslot still.I might start a petition to get "The Brady Bunch" of N@N.

The Brady Bunch is part of the problem but Cheers is what Nick at nite shows the most but still the Brady Bunch is getting old too.I still think Cheers is taking up the most time and is most of the problem.
