I think it's a combination of both. I believe Mad About You was a total flop for Lifetime and the contract expires in 2006.

I wonder if the N@N/Oxygen contract with Mad About You is the same as the one both networks have with Roseanne.

They both start airing it in March 2006. It is a shared deal, Oxygen can only air Mad About You between 9am-8pm, with Nick@Nite airing it the other times (between 8pm-9am). Roseanne has a similar deal, the times might be different on that. There are a lot of shared deals for hot properties, like Full House (ABC Family and Nick@Nite), Cosby Show (TBS and Nick@Nite), and the upcoming Little House on the Prairie (on TV Land and Hallmark). Fresh Prince airs on 2 networks owned by the same company (The N/Nick@Nite), so that is NOT a shared deal. In June 2007, TBS and Nick@Nite will share Home Improvement.

The Mad About You shared deal is strange because it has never done well in syndication, while the other shared shows have done REALLY well.

They won't lose rights until early 2006, Mad About You will remain on Lifetime: Real Women this fall.

I wonder if Will & Grace will perform well on Lifetime. The network doesn't seem to have much luck with sitcoms unless it's the Golden Girls or The Nanny.

That amazes me since they air so much...

They've been on Lifetime for a LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG time too.

USTVFanFromUK · 07-03-2005, 11:19 PM

Lifetime's loosing the rights to The Nanny in 2009, I believe. That's when the show heads to Nick @ Nite.

I believe Frasier is heading to Lifetime in a few years as well. I don't picture that doing very well on Lifetime...

One possibility is to air it in the Golden Girls rotation, as someone mentioned here. And ALL the episodes of Golden Palace will air anyway for those 6-7 weeks, so TAPE them. It's not that hard to do.

No it won't WGN will still have W&G for the fall. It will however add one new program for the fall. Sex & the City. Now pavanbadal, I also know that along with W&G on Lifetime, That '70s Show will start airing their episodes on FX along with Fear Factor and King of the Hill this fall too. Have you heard any word on that yet?

Frasier starts airing on Lifetime in March of 2006.

Where did you read W&G is not leaving WGN? It is leaving. WGN is adding Moesha and Sex and the City. Fear Factor and King of the Hill already airs on FX. That '70s Show starts this fall.

I think Lifetime should add Facts of Life to their line-up instead of Will & Grace
