I wish Dish Network would add it, too. TV Land has gone to crap.

I too wish they would add this to Dish Network. I like TVLAND still but would love to see the old shows on this channel esp Kotter & Chico and The Man..

I wish Comcast would add ALTV to its system. ALTV would kick TV Land's butt big time.
