My local FOX affiliate showing Penbrooke eps! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

OK, so one day I woke up at like 6:00AM and flipped on the TV only to see a Penbrooke ep of Charles In Charge! I remember when N@N was showing it, they did no air these. It was the first time I had seen Julie Cobb & company in YEARS on this show. So, I looked at the station's web site. They did not then and still don't list the show anywhere. It always says "paid programming" is on during that time slot. OK, this is the weird part. They seem to play this show very randomly. It can air anytime between 5AM and 7AM on any day. Some days its not on at all. Other days they will play 2-3 eps in a row. Most days it will be the new family, but every once in a while they will sprinkle in a Penbrooke ep out of the blue! They don't show it in any kind of logical order! Its almost like they use the show as a "filler." How strange is that? Well, anyway, I got 2 Penbrooke eps so far and hope to get more soon.

My FOX affiliate is airing old episodes of CIC as well, they started with the Pembroke episodes too. I believed it aired at 4 AM but I just checked again and they moved it to 3:30 AM and here is the episode they are going to show tonight, "A Job From Heck" Charles chaperons newly hired waitress Jamie.

Its nice to know these shows are airing somewhere. N@N really didn't treat CIC very good when they aired it a few years ago.

N@N never treats any of the good shows IE Facts of Life, CIC and Head of the Class they way they should be treated. I hate N@N after they dumped FOL and never gave it a chance. They treated CIC even worse.

I know I hated what they did with Head Of The Class and Perfect Strangers. Who's going to stay up until 4am to watch them no matter how much they like them? N@N plays favorites as to which shows get good timeslots.

Back then I didnt have a job or school so I used to stay up and watch Head of the Class at 4AM. But still they never showed the complete series with the new kids on it, I think maybe just one episode which was a X mas one. But really who else stays up that late for a show? Well besides me, I wouldnt be able to do it today though.

Consider yourselves lucky. The last time I've seen any CIC ep. was back in 2002 when it was airing here in L.A. on KDOC.
