Will we see the same thing on TV Land in 2012 that we saw in 2002? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In August of 2002, TV land celebrated Norman's Lear 80th Birthday and air all of his RARE sitcoms.

Now that he will be 90 in August, do you think TV land will do the same thing in August or since staff has probably changed a lot in the past 10 years in the tv land programming department that we probably wont?

It would be nice if they aired some rare sitcoms. TV Land used to be really good. I remember when they played Rhoda and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Now all you get is 90's TV, Roseanne, The Nanny, Everybody Loves Raymond, The King Of Queens. I'm glad that I've got TV dvd's to watch! I wish I had a channel that caters to classic TV. Norman Lear had a lot of great old shows. But I doubt we'll ever see them again on TV Land.

It would be cool if they did do a Norman Lear Marathon again! But I have all the Norman Lear Shows on DVD and Maude is on YouTube so I can have My Own Norman Lear Marathon.

I'm sure you don't have these Lear sitcoms on DVD

Grady
Hot L Baltimore
Mary Hartman
Gloria

I would love to see a marathon of Grady. I know a lot of people didn't like him on Sanford and Son, but I loved his character. I'd also like to see Gloria. I've never seen either show, but I bet they were good. A lot better than what we get now on TV!

Yeah TV land aired Grady and Gloria as part of the Norman Lear birthday celebation in 2002. At that time I had never seen Grady or Gloria and it was a real treat for a classic tv fan

I have not seen Grady yet. I've seem the others. With it being 2012 now, I don't TV LAND is going to do that authentic broadcast anymore. Hopefully, I'll be wrong.
