PeachTree TV Atlanta Fall 2008 Schedules

I would think that's a risky move, Family Guy is very popular and House of Payne should be the show in the 10-11 slot but since I don't like Family Guy, I'm happy lol.

Tyler Perry’s HOUSE OF PAYNE – Monday-Saturday at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., beginning Sept. 24
This multigenerational sitcom features LaVan Davis as fireman Curtis “Pops” Payne, a man who believes his house should be his castle, he the king and his wife, Ella (Cassi Davis), the queen. Unfortunately, their castle has turned into Grand Central Terminal thanks to one son and his family moving in and another son spending much of his time mooching off his parents. Allen Payne, Lance Gross, Demetria McKinney, Larramie Doc Shaw and China McClain co-star.

The series premiered on TBS in June 2007 with ad-supported cable’s #1 sitcom telecast of all time among key adult demos, households and viewers. By the end of last summer, it was television’s #1 show among African-American adults 18-49, a feat it repeated this summer.

I think it's because Ted Turner's still pissed over Toronto beating Atlanta in the World Series in 1992. So this is his way of punishing us.

I live in New York and wish I had Peachtree. I read that they're adding both South Central and Where I live - 2 shows I loved watching when I was a teenager. Why can't they have shows like this here in NY instead of the same junk for years and years that never end (like Friends and King of Queens to name a few). PLEASE RELEASE THESE GREAT SHORT LIVED SHOWS ON DVD SO I CAN SEE THEM AGAIN.

I hope they add Atlanta Hawks games in the future, they are an up and coming team now in the NBA.
