Too bad. Makes me wonder why Cheers and All in the Family, 2 of the most successful TV shows of all time, can't do well on TVland. They always seem to be getting replaced.

Pav, is TV Land going to stop their habit of airing shows off the clock? They just started a DW ep. like 10 mins early. It's very annoying. I swear, they do it just to mess w/ people who are trying to record a show.

TV LAND PREMIERES 1974 COMEDY CLASSIC, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ON NOVEMBER 2

TVLAND.COM TO OFFER TICKET SWEEPSTAKES AND FEATURE INTERVIEWS WITH MEL BROOKS AND CAST

NETWORK CELEBRATES PREMIERE OF MEL BROOKS' NEW BROADWAY MUSICAL, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

Los Angeles, CA, October 29, 2007 TV Land is celebrating the Broadway opening of Mel Brooks' new musical Young Frankenstein with a series of events on-air, online and off-air. TVLand.com, the network's revamped website, is offering a trip to New York City to see the highly anticipated production and will feature original interviews with the Broadway cast including Megan Mullally, Andrea Martin and more. TV Land will also show the network premiere of the original 1974 comedic masterpiece, Young Frankenstein.

Viewers have been logging on to TVLand.com since October 19 to enter the Young Frankenstein Sweepstakes. One lucky winner and their guest will be flown round-trip to NYC to attend Young Frankenstein on Broadway, hotel accommodations for 2 nights and $500 spending cash. Starting November 1, TVLand.com will also feature interviews with the cast of the musical including, Megan Mullally (Elizabeth), Sutton Foster (Inga), Shuler Hensley (The Monster), Andrea Martin (Frau Blucher), Fred Applegate (Kemp) and Christopher Fitzgerald (Igor) as well as highlights from the show.

"We are thrilled to support the Broadway production of Young Frankenstein with our multi-platform offerings," stated Larry W. Jones, President of TV Land. "Fans and critics alike recognize Young Frankenstein as one of the funniest movies ever. It truly stands the test of time and really resonates with our target audience as an important piece of pop culture."

As part of TV Land's Friday night programming block, Movieland, the network will also air the classic Oscar-nominated movie Young Frankenstein on Friday, November 2 at 10PM ET/PT, with an encore on Saturday, November 3 at 1PM ET/PT. The original film Young Frankenstein premiered in 1974 and was directed and co-written by Mel Brooks. Shot in black and white as an homage to monster movies of the past, co-screenwriter, Gene Wilder, stars as a young neurosurgeon who inherits the castle of his grandfather, Victor von Frankenstein. He denies interest in his grandfather's experiments until the discovery of von Frankenstein's journal. With the help of Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle, and Marty Feldman, hilarity ensues as Victor von Frankensteins monster is brought to life.

From the creative team of The Producers, the musical version of Young Frankenstein opens on Broadway November 9 at the Hilton Theatre in New York City. Directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, the production stars Megan Mullally, of Will & Grace and host of the 2006 TV Land Award Show and Roger Bart of Desperate Housewives fame, as well as Sutton Foster, 2002 Tony Award winner for Best Actress in a Musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie. The musical features a book by three-time Tony Award winner Mel Brooks and three-time Tony award winner Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Brooks.

No wonder we can't get rid of these farces if people keep logging in,entering rig-up contestes;networks actually think that since their so many people entering the contest,then they must love this movie,or more than likely,the fact that the movie is on this network.That gives them the excuse to say,"Look at us!We're so popular!Let's put on more movies that been ran into the ground!"And people fall for it !Simplely amazing!!!

Consequently, the unusual demands by Klinger's superiors leave
little time to write a letter home to Toledo.

Sunday, November 11th

Pierce; another man has propositioned B.J.'s wife and Radar's mom
has a boyfriend.

10:30p #105 -- Dear Sigmund
Sidney Freedman, feeling depressed, visits and the 4077th to

contribution to make -- a native remedy for a seemingly insoluble
medical problem.

1a #217 -- The Forsight Saga
The 4077th is given a gift of fresh-grown vegetables by a grateful

Talk about overstuffed!!TVLand obviously has NEVER heard of the old saying "Familiarity breeds contempt",because these shows included in TVLand's Overstuffed Thanksgiving Weekend ,(and yes,I know they are classics,and I know there are die-hard fans of the shows,)have been run-and re-run-and rerun ad nauseum practically into the ground.TVLand definitely needs some "new blood",in the way of new classic shows shows from the 1950's and 1960's,some of which are just sitting around in vaults collecting dust.

TV Land will be back on the clock late nights starting November 26. We will get an extra Three's Company at 1:30am.

Finally! I was glad when NAN turned back awhile ago. Good to hear TVLand is finally doing the same thing. Plus, we get another Three's Company!

My sentiments exactly!Once upon a time,this were a very good channell;just too bad it took my cable company so long to put it on.When they finally did,it would be at the time things started going downhill! I could live another 100 years before I would even want to see another CLINT EASTWOOD movie.Even the most die-hard fan would get sick of it.And don't get me started about the usless,brainless marathons! Add the overplay,played to death movies !!! But,it is to be expected;doing the hoildays,no one plays anything good nor classic.Gutless what it is!

Is that what you want? I could care less about DW on TVland, too. It think we're getting too much of it. But I think it does, because Beverly Hillbillies is taking over it's Monday marathon.
