Laff Schedule Update

I wish they'd take off that 70's show. I've seen it so many times I know all the dialog.

The 7-9PM slots should definitely go to something else. Night Court could move there for now leading into Home Improvement. Mad About You would also be a good pickup for 7-9PM, I know Encore Classic airs it but broadcast rights would probably be separate. LAFF should also snatch the rights for Frasier if it expires from Cozi.

Another good pickup for LAFF would be the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I watched him a lot in the later part of the 2000s but never got to see his 90s shows live. This may have seemed unlikely to come back to TV a few years ago, but Antenna TV's pickup of Johnny Carson also would have seemed unlikely at one point. Along with Mad About You and Frasier (hopefully it expires from Cozi soon and LAFF gets it), this would be a nice schedule.

They might have to be careful on Mad About You, since they don't have an exclusive on that--it's also in local syndication (a local channel here has it). They could lose some markets depending on how the contracts are written.

Oh. Mad About You hasn't aired on any of my locals in a long time.

Personally, I'd rather see Late Night era Conan or Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson if Laff ever makes a move like Antenna TV did with Johnny Carson.

Other shows I'd like to see on Laff:
Dear John (if Antenna ever loses the rights)
The Larry Sanders Show (don't know what the chance of this show airing on Laff or Antenna is due to how much explicit language they'd have to censor)
NewsRadio
Taxi
The Odd Couple (the original from the 1970s)
Boy Meets World
Malcolm in the Middle
Titus (I have no idea how possible this would be since the show's humor is way more darker compared to the shows currently airing on Laff)

Might make a schedule sometime soon since there's other shows I feel like would be a good fit for Laff.

Taxi and the original Odd Couple would be nice, but I doubt LAFF would air shows that old. Boy Meets World would be good.

[DeadlyToolTime]

Who knows. I think Night Court is the oldest show they've aired so far, but I do believe a few years ago, Laff aired the first Odd Couple movie from 1968.

I forgot Night Court was an 80s show, had been thinking they were mostly 90s and 2000s.

I'm just hoping LAFF brings back Empty Nest & Ellen. It's been a long time since both were aired, and I miss them both.

[DeadlyToolTime]

Working on my schedule. I will say this about Laff though. They should reduce the hours of Spin City and The Drew Carey Show. Both shows have been ran down to the ground.

With it being a few years since they aired, the rights probably expired.

Actually, they both last aired in April I believe, so not "years". And Home Improvement is from the same distributor, so I don't believe they expired.

[DeadlyToolTime]

So I decided to include The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on here instead of Late Night with Conan O'Brien mainly due to the archive that's coming out next year. Also added NewsRadio, Boy Meets World, The Larry Sanders Show and Taxi. Thoughts?

I miss Empty Nest as well. I downloaded most of the series from YouTube before it was yanked from there. As for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, I’d love to see those again. I have a few episodes on VHS but not nearly enough. That was the last late night show I bothered to watch. After Leno retired I gave up on “late night” shows as they just became political machines that are unbearable for me to watch. At least Leno jabbed both sides. It’s all so left wing now it’s just sickening.
