This channel looks very interesting...WAY better than the U.S. TV Land. I like the little retro figures they use and how it has no originals. Looks pretty decent! Marketing campaign reminds me of U.S. TV Land in the early 2000s.

It doesnt look any better to me. Too many 80's shows for me.

What you neglected to mention is that they run the majority of their shows complete and uncut, provided they get them that way. I've gotten stuff recorded from there like Petticoat Junction, which ran uncut, as well as Bilko, which is still running I believe. Even if Paramount continues with PJ, there is so much music in it in later seasons that they will be hacked to pieces.

That's interesting. Apparently TV Land Canada has the idea down right. And they seem to keep a consistent schedule too. I wonder if they're adding any new shows soon?

I think I might have watched TV Land Canada a few times since I go up there quite a bit.

That's a good thing. TV needs more 80's instead of the select few that have always been on, or even older shows that always seem to get played. Where I live, it's the same old, same old. Shows that you can find in reruns anywhere. Very little change. More variety, and more 80's, would be nice.

I see "It's Garry Shandling's Show" on the front page. I watched that when it was on. Hasn't been on since it went off the air. Already, that Canada version seems much better and more interesting. We never get the good stuff here. The only 80's played here is "Full House" (no thank you) and "Married With Children" (seen 100 million times).
