I was wondering where I could get old tv/cable tv schedules? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

mets82 · 05-17-2011, 07:51 PM

Besides Wikipedia, is there any other site or sites that I could find old tv/cable schedules? I mean ABC, FOX etc. I could find on Wikipedia but what about old FX,Spike, TNN, USA, TBS etc. schedules?

The book "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows" includes an appendix that lists the prime time network schedules from 1946 to present.

TV Tango is great for old daily schedules but it's not always complete... still it's probably the best resource there is.

Thank you guys for the replies. Its much appreciated. It seems like tv tango is the best site out of them all. You know when you look and read these boards and go on sites like youtube for old slogans and promos and commericals and stuff EVERYBODY says that tv was better back then.
I even checked out some old TNN promos on youtube and the people responded by saying that they wanted the old TNN back.

That link appears to be an archive of old posts only. I just stumbled upon the new board with current posts, lots of great reading: http://boards.radio-info.com/smf/index.php?board=309.0
