Of those shows, I think we have the best shot of seeing Facts of Life, perfect Strangers, and Murphy Brown come to the lineup, because they are eighites-early nineties (except for FOL) and fit in with the rest of the schedule.

clj2 · 09-07-2007, 04:38 PM

They have tried 60s and 70s, remember Green Acres, which seemed to do decent and Alice from the 70s. Acres aired for quite a while, I think it will be back before Alice, Growing Pains, Amen, etc but that's just my feeling. Seems it did better.

Green Acres was still on when it was PAX, and back then, they had a lot of older shows on. When it became I! network, they had GA, plus other sixties/seventies like Partridge Family, Kung Fu, and Charlie's Angels. But, since the network became ION (last January), Green Acres hasn't been on, and we only saw Alice on for awhile. Right now, all they're shows they're airing are either eighties or nineties, so I'm assuming they're focusing more on that now.

Whatever shows they add I hope it's airing on a day between Friday and Sunday-lol

That no sitcom on Friday is so dumb

It is dumb. I'm so sick of all these miniseries and movies that seem to air all the time. The weekend is the best days for watching TV, and I'd rather watch sitcoms than the stuff they air then.

clj2 · 09-08-2007, 02:45 PM

I swear, those miniseries are so annoying! I liked it better when ION aired their own movies from the library deals. Is anyone honestly going to watch this Henry Ford thing that was airing this weekend???

ION Media Networks Secures Rights to Air 2007 Season of “NFL Game of the Week” Produced by NFL Films
Highly-Acclaimed Weekly NFL Films Series Premieres on ION Television Saturday, September 15 with Giants-Cowboys Week 1 Match-up

ION Also Scores Rights to Air New NFL Films Production, “Stories of the NFL”

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- ION Media Networks, Inc. (AMEX:ION) announced today that it has secured the rights to air the NFL Films production, “NFL Game of the Week,” for the 2007 season. The highly-acclaimed series will premiere on ION Television’s nationwide broadcast network at 6:00 PM ET on Saturday, September 15, with the Giants-Cowboys game from Kickoff Weekend, which Dallas won 45-35. A new episode will air each week of the 17-week NFL regular season.

“We are thrilled to partner with NFL Films to bring to our viewers this top-quality, tremendously popular series,” said Brandon Burgess, CEO of ION Media Networks. “This NFL state-of-the-art production, with its stunning cinematography, all-access sound, stirring music and great storytelling, has set the standard for excellence in television sports programming for decades, and it will be a terrific addition to our lineup of entertaining programs that the entire family can enjoy.”

“NFL Films’ ‘NFL Game of the Week’ has been a must-see for football fans for years,” said Howard Katz, Chief Operating Officer of NFL Films. “We are pleased that fans will watch this season on ION Television.”

Each week of the NFL season, “NFL Game of the Week” showcases that week’s best game in a one-hour program, and tells the story of the game that viewers didn’t see on the original broadcast. Presenting the action from a wide variety of angles, including specially-shot game footage, pre-game and post-game commentary and previously unheard sideline sound from players and coaches, Game of the Week brings fans closer to the action than ever before.

NFL Films President Steve Sabol, a 36-time Emmy® Award-winner, will continue to host the series, which premiered in syndication in 1965. It has aired on NFL Network since 2003.

As part of its agreement with the NFL, ION Media Networks also has secured the rights to air a brand-new series from NFL Films, entitled “Stories of the NFL,” which will take a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of NFL players when they’re not on the field. Using NFL Films’ original music, candid interviews, voluminous archives and award-winning cinematographers, these half-hour episodes will “reveal the hidden gems of the NFL.” The season of 21 original programs will begin airing on ION Television in February 2008.

Wow is that weird. We erally haven't done much complainging about the weekends until lately, and right after your rant, they begin airing NFL games on the weekends. Although I'm not much of an NFL watcher, my husband will be happy. And, anything's better than the RHI movies. Pavan, will the movies still be airing Friday and Sunday's, and will the Saturday movie be moved to a different slot?

Pavan · 09-10-2007, 05:04 PM

It is not a NFL game. It is highlights and insight on the game of the week from the previous week. The NFL show is Saturdays 6-7pm, that does not have anything to do with changing the RHI movies, which will remain Fri-Sun 7-11pm. As I said before, RHI movies will not be moving timeslots...because they can't.
