CTVglobemedia is the majority owner of the TV Land Canada channel, so they would have any say on programming, Viacom only owns a small stake.

It is also required to have a certain amount of CANCON, which is currently Adderly, Adventures in Rainbow Country, King of Kensington, Smith & Smith, Swiss Family Robinson and The Comedy Mill

Well The TV LAND Canada Lineup doesn't look all that attractive to me since i seen Happy days several times, have Joanie loves Chachi complete on DVD and have no interest in the other shows

I don't understand why you don't mind your damn business and just relax and keep quiet once in a while and stop acting like a Broad Street Bully! Right now, the only thing I'd be willing to gloat about is the fact that I don't live in your neighbourhood.


This message board operates on a basic principle that people here can write about whatever shows and channels they wish to talk about, whether it is about the big networks or a small local station like ME-TV in Chicago, which I'm guessing is available to about 5% of the people on here. If you're not interested in reading about it, then you can ignore it and move on, since there are lots of other topics that are bound to be more interesting. It's your choice. You don't have to read it or respond to it, but, if you do, show some respect for those that are, even if it's only a small number. Thank you!


I live in Canada so I'm more familiar with Canadian stations but still I don't mind reading about US stations that I know I'll never get. It's interesting to compare them once in a while just to see what else is out there in the landscape. I find the process fairly interesting and educational as well. I had no idea what RTN was until I checked here first. Now, I'm glad I did. In the same way, people who live in the US can read about what we get up here and draw their own conclusions. Whether one sitcom or channel is better or worse depends on one's own personal taste. Some people love "Love American Style" and others don't. That's fine. I don't really care. I just like passing out the information because I know that there are people here that are interested in it. Just the fact that our own webmaster Pavanbadal was nice enough to print out the entire press release from TV Land Canada about its upcoming schedule shows me that there is interest out there and that's good enough for me. So I'll keep doing it whether it makes sense or not because, like it or not, there's more to come. I still haven't heard about some of the other specialty and digital channels and what they might be offering. It should only be a matter of time before all the final fall lineups are announced and I'll post some of the highlights here as they happen. If you want to see them, go right ahead, but please try to behave. If not, like I said, there's always plenty of alternatives. I might be exploring some of them myself. See you there!

TV Land schedule in the U.S. is more attractive

[Pavan]

I agree. I just want Batman and Happy Days back. Joanie Loves Chachi would be good to see once in awhile.
Solomon: See the DejaView Canada Fall 2007 thread. They are airing Ropers and Three's a Crowd this Fall!

Well I have both shows complete-lol

[Pavan]

You do? All ABC episodes of Three's a Crowd? And what about Ropers?

No still 19 abc of TAC and the other 3 from syndication. All the Ropers are from syndication

[Jenya]

I keep telling all of you knuckleheads here to get a "Free-to-Air" satellite dish, and you'll get both TV Land Canada and DejaView along with SUN-TV and CTS TV channels. You'll also get Prise2 which is another classic TV channel from Quebec.

You can buy a "Free-to-Air" satellite dish on ebay for less than $100 now.

So quit your whining!

[Jenya]

You can buy a Canadian satellite dish and watch all of these channels from the comfort of your home in the the U.S.

This website here shows you how you can get the signals from Star Choice and ExpressVU:

TV Land Canada Reveals Fall 2007 Premiere Dates

TORONTO, Aug. 9 -- On TV Land Canada, everything old is new again! TV Land Canada is pleased to reveal the premiere dates for its fall 2007 programming line-up. New to the TV Land Canada schedule this fall is Fantasy Island; Hart to Hart; Love, American Style; It's Garry Shandling's Show; several stand-up comedy series hosted by comedian Ben Guyatt; a spin-off of the classic, The New Lassie; and two Lassie movies, Lassie: A New Beginning and The Magic of Lassie.

Can't get enough of your favourite classic series? TV Land Canada has 24-hour marathons of Remington Steele and Happy Days, and spends the Christmas holidays with Lassie and Dallas.


NEW PROGRAMS:

IT'S GARRY SHANDLING'S SHOW
---------------------------
Monday to Friday at 1pm, 8:30pm and 12am ET/10am, 5:30pm and 9pm PT
Beginning Tuesday, September 4 at 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT
Set in Garry Shandling's condominium in Sherman Oaks, California, Shandling plays a single man looking for the right woman. He spends his free time with his platonic friend Nancy (Molly Cheek), his best friend's family (Stanley Tucci and Bernadette Birkett) and his single mother. Much of the show mimicked Shandling's own life, and although each episode of the show was scripted, Shandling was known to improvise his lines.

--------------
Monday to Friday at 2:30pm, 7pm and 2:30am ET/11:30am, 4pm and 11:30pm PT
Beginning Tuesday, September 4 at 7pm ET/4pm PT
Premiering in 1989 and running for three seasons, The New Lassie centres around a suburban family, the McCulloughs: Chris and his wife Dee, their two children Will and Megan, and their dog Lassie.

In this anthology comedy series, each hour-long episode features a line-up of different celebrity guest stars appearing in short stories or vignettes about love and romance. An episode which aired on February 25, 1972, entitled "Love and the Happy Days," became the pilot for the popular TV series Happy Days. That episode was written by Garry Marshall and featured Ron Howard (as Richie), Marion Ross (as Mrs. Cunningham), Anson Williams (as Potsie), among others.

FANTASY ISLAND
--------------
Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm and 9pm ET/11am and 6pm PT
Beginning Saturday, September 8 at 9pm ET/6pm PT
Guests travel to the remote island resort to have their wishes fulfilled. Upon arrival, they are greeted by their mysterious host, the debonair and
suave white-suited Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban) and his diminutive sidekick, Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize), whose cry, "De plane! De plane!," became a popular catchphrase.

HART TO HART
------------
Saturdays and Sundays at 3pm, 10pm and 2am ET/12pm, 7pm and 11pm PT
Beginning Saturday September 8 at 10pm ET/7pm PT
Jonathan Hart was a self-made millionaire - the CEO of Hart Industries, a global conglomerate. His gorgeous wife Jennifer was a freelance journalist.
They are both amateur sleuths who find themselves up to their eyeballs in murder, smuggling, theft and international espionage. Created by author Sidney Sheldon, Hart to Hart stars Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as the Harts; Lionel Stander as Max, their loyal live-in housekeeper and chauffeur; and Freeway, their scruffy little dog.

STAND-UP COMEDY AT TV LAND CANADA:
---------------------------

Comedian Ben Guyatt is the host and producer of a number of stand-up comedy television series, two of which are debuting on TV Land Canada: Veranda Beach Comedy Club and Chaps Comedy Club. These programs showcase lesser known

HAPPY DAYS - 24-HOUR MARATHON
-----------------------------
Monday, October 8, beginning at 6am ET/3am PT

Days. The show presented an idealized version of life in late '50s and early '60s America. Stars Ron Howard and Henry Winkler.

CHRISTMAS EVE WITH LASSIE:
--------------------------
Monday, December 24
Celebrate the festive season with the world's most famous and beloved dog, Lassie, with Christmas episodes from the original series and the TV Land Canada premiere of two Lassie movies.

Lassie is taken away from freckled-faced Michael Sharrett by evil Pernell Roberts, who hopes that the boy's grandpa, Clovis Mitchell, will sell his valuable vineyard in return for the dog. But Roberts' scheme falls through, and Lassie makes her getaway, embarking upon a grueling trek to be reunited with her young master. The film, which was the first Lassie theatrical release
in nearly three decades, stars Jimmy Stewart and Mickey Rooney. (1978)

DALLAS - 48-HOUR CHRISTMAS MARATHON
-----------------------------------
Tuesday, December 25, beginning at 6am ET/3am PT
Big hair, shoulder pads and family dysfunction at its finest. The quintessential '80s soap opera chronicles the exploits of wealthy Texas oil
millionaires, and their shady business dealings and backstabbing ways. Stars Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Priscilla Presley and George Kennedy. Spend
Christmas and Boxing Day with the Ewings, and follow the build-up and resolution to TV's number one mystery - who shot J.R.?
