I bet Cheers will become a weekday afternoon show. It has too many episodes to air just twice a week.

Pavan, is this some sort of shared deal with Hallmark (like how they only have LHOTP 6p-6a and M*A*S*H 8p-8a) or do they both have Cheers 24/7?

It's not a bad addition obviously since it's a great show but would have much more fun to see a rare sitcom get the add.

Also, watched Barney Miller for the first time last night - really enjoyed it!!!

I also watched Barney Miller and I was Laughting while watching Barney Miller Last evening.

I don't think there are time restrictions for Cheers on WGN and Hallmark.

You know what's dumb? Why didn't they renew Happy Days last year or whenever if they were planning to go all retro? That would be great on Sunday nights at 8 for example.

When was The Last Time Barney Miller was on The WGN Regural Schedule

Yeah, Happy Days would have been good. I don't think the 'retro' or current idea was in mind when they lost it, though.

I wish Becker would leave. It's been on there forever. They ought to replace it with Cheers.
