Wow Pavan, talk about great timing! That's fantastic. I can't thank you enough for your research and laying out the schedule. That was really very nice of you. I printed it out. BET is probably better than the butchers over at ION, so I'll enjoy it more on that station. I can't believe I'm going to see the final season, where Steve and Regina are finally a couple.

I thought this was going to be like Coach, where I never, to this day even, got to see the final season, maybe even two seasons, when they moved to California and went Pro.

I'm so excited! Thanks again. I"m going to have to fire up the VCR.

Pavan, I have a question for you that's been bugging me. When a station, such as ION, buys the rights to a tv show, and I hope I'm wording that correctly, why would they not buy the last season? Certainly a station wants happy viewers. If it wasn't for BET, and thankfully you, I'd be missing out on Steve Harvey's final season. Is it something else perhaps, that's out of the station's control? If BET could acquire the final season, why couldn't ION do the same thing?

As I said in my last post, I went through this with Coach, when I was constantly deprived of the final season, when they moved to California and went Pro. I've never seen it to this day. Being the scheduling guru that you are, I'm hoping that I can get an answer that makes sense to me, because what these stations do is cruel to viewers. It's like watching a movie, and never getting to see the ending. Thanks, and sorry for the long post.

Pavan · 08-31-2008, 04:16 PM

I think ION has rights to all seasons, they just are not airing season six as of now. It could be due to a variety of reasons (their call in not editing them for broadcast due to the season not being good, bad tapes, number of airplays allowed per contract, etc). For example, when Nick at Nite had Charles in Charge they only felt the need to convert the tapes for seasons 2-4 and they never aired seasons 1 and 5...totally their call, but they did have rights to air all five years. In another instance, TV Land had this huge Sony deal some years back with shows like Dennis the Menace and Archie Bunker's Place. TV Land only aired the first season or two of those and maybe a select episodes after that (for ABP I know they aired some post season one episodes). TV Land had a library deal with Sony and were only allowed to air and convert a certain number of episodes for the entire deal, causing them to keep repeating the same episodes.

As for Coach, WGN now has the rights to it (see Coach board), so you can catch the final season I'm sure there, as they are a station that never skips stuff.

Janice · 09-01-2008, 06:53 PM

Thanks for the in-depth answer, Pavan. I really appreciate it. My husband thanks you as well. We're both enjoying the final season this holiday weekend, and will this week. I wonder why the final season was so short. Friday's preempted shows, we won't miss any shows, according to your list, so that's good, and I hope I'm reading that right. Sorry to be a pain, but only if you have the numbers handy, how did The Steve Harvey Show do in the ratings?

Thanks for the Coach info. I don't think we get WGN. I'll have to check as we really felt cheated. My husband just loves that show.

Again, thanks for the answer. It makes sense now.

We just finished watching season 6. Every character was given closure, and I appreciate that. Cedrick and Levita hit the lottery (We're Cosby rich! lol) and are about to become proud parents. Romeo decided against following in his father's footsteops of being a career cab driver and onto a four-year college for him. Princeton for Lydia LIZA Guttman, and a Jr. College for Stanley/Bullethead.

Regina accepts a position at prestigious school private in California. Steve follows his love there. I was hoping for an engagement ring, but oh well. It was bittersweet, knowing what's in store just months away for poor Merlin Santana. His two daughters will have this show to forever see their father in his prime and glory. So sad. Great series, from start to finish. I'm going to miss it.

I saw the ep today with Lydia singing on stage at the graduation-"AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH"

LOL

That was a fun scene. I loved how Steve and Regina were dancing in the background. I think the actress who played Lydia was a good comedian. I'm surprised I haven't see her in much.
