FamilyNet added another time slot for Benson - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

AngieTribeca · 06-07-2016, 05:16 PM

The show is now playing at 9 pm in addition to the 10 am and 6 pm airings during the week. They are the same episodes aired earlier but those who do not have a DVR or other means to records the show can catch it at the most convenient time to them

I think that's a good sign.

Now a time slot has been taken away and another changed. Not good.

I wish FamilyNet was free and available over the air. I really want to see Benson.

As much as I like Benson, I really don't think that airing the same two episodes three times a day was necessary. I'm glad that FamilyNet is airing The Facts Of Life and Silver Spoons now.

BENSON's supposed to be coming back to AntennaTv, but I'm guessing that may not thrill you.

While I don't disagree that three times a day to air the same episodes is excessive, it should be deemed excessive for any show. Pretty sure they are still airing the same two episodes for All In The Family and Barney Miller three times a day.

My point was just that once the show starts getting cut back, it's not a good sign.

I'm always glad to know the show is being aired, even if I can't watch it.

Nope. It doesn't. That credit crunch is absolutely unacceptable. I will not watch it there.

Fair enough. Point taken.

BigCookie, what do you mean by ''credit crunch'' ?

BigManMike · 09-06-2016, 05:40 PM

On Antenna they squeeze the credits into a small box on the left side of the screen then start the next show in another box on the right side of the screen. Very distracting and ruins the show.
