TV Land schedule no longer bothers me because of the channels below

Centric
Antenna TV
TV One

None of these channels existed before 2004

If I had alternatives, I wouldn't care either. Wish they would come to my area.

I have alternatives. They're called "DVDs".

Its nice seeing Leave it to Beaver, Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke back on TV Land. But before I give them a whole lot of credit, I wonder why they are back on? Did they have a change in heart as far as classic tv goes? Or did people annoy them so much that they had to change it? And yes, the off the clock stuff ticks me off!! I watched Roseanne and in the first 15 mins. of the show, I saw maybe 4 or 5 mins. of the actual show and the rest commericals

It makes me mad and I dont get the point. You know, why dont they pass a law about the off the clock stuff. GET RID OF IT!!

I watched The King of Queens Sunday night from 9:30 to 10 and that was enough for me. I love the show on TBS and I have the whole series on DVD but TV Land should have promoted the marathon as "It's A Commercial Marathon" and see what we add in between commercials. They are killing the channel. I do understand the need to make money so they can pay for a good show like that but I think they stopped 4 or more times in the half hour for commercials. I just couldn't watch it anymore.

They can show less than 1 third the amount of commercials,and still make a fortune.It does not matter how expensive the show is or not.They are criminals plain and simple,and it's not only TV/Commercial-land.It's most American commercial tv stations nowadays.Really I don't know how anyone in their right mind can watch these stations unless they are into some form of self-abuse.That's one reason I started a thread a few months ago about the obscene amount of commercials on American television,and what a con-game these stations are playing and are allowed to get away with.

TV Land is not the channel to watch your favorite show

yeah ! That's right

Could anything be the reason why TV Land has not aired any old TV sitcoms that they have not reran throughout their existence? (short-lived TV shows don't count).

Last minute change that started tonight.

I love this change! Home Improvement is 1000 times better than Roseanne. And on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I watch Last Man Standing, The Middle, and The Big Bang Theory, but don't like the 8:30 shows airing after them.
