Antenna adding new shows in 2020 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BigManMike · 08-23-2019, 01:17 PM

Just saw the news today. Antenna is adding Diff’rent Strokes, Facts of Life, Designing Women, NewsRadio, and Who’s the Boss in 2020. Not happy they are coming to that credit crunch network. Wish Who’s the Boss was joining Me instead. It’s a shame DS and FOL are leaving Me. I only hope the Nexstar acquisition will go through and maybe they can stop the crunch by then.

I was hoping Leave It To Beaver & Newhart & Mr. Belvedere would Return.I really was hoping for Just The 10 Of Us & The Wonder Years & Amen to be added as well! Oh, well.

As a kid I watched Different Strokes & The Facts Of Life but today I loose interest to easily. (I would like to try both shows again to see if I will enjoy these again when they start on Antenna TV.

Also as a kid I liked Who’s The Boss? I noticed as time went on Who’s The Boss I lost interest in some episodes. Although out Of all the shows Coming I’m looking forward to Who’s The Boss? The most.

Antenna TV is still a great channel!

Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, and Who's the Boss are great pickups for Antenna TV. Designing Women and NewsRadio, not so much.

It's a shame that DS and TFOL will be gone from MeTV.

BigManMike · 08-23-2019, 01:59 PM

It’s a shame Me lets contracts for good shows like Diff’rent Strokes and Facts of Life expire, but they get these long term contracts for crummy shows like Mash and Hogan’s Heroes and let them overstay their welcome.

I wonder which shows will be leaving Antenna TV with the addition of these five new shows. Some shows will have to leave the schedule to make room for the new ones.

AMackII · 08-23-2019, 02:42 PM

Wait? Different Strokes has been on Antenna TV serveal years back but it would return to Antenna TV next year(in 2020) though but at least it & Facts of Life have enjoyed their stay on MeTV.

I just sent a message to Antenna on Facebook asking which shows would be expiring at the end of 2019 with these new pickups.

I wonder if Joey Bishop might be one of the expiring shows. I recorded all the episodes so if Joey Bishop leaves the schedule I still have my recordings to watch.

Designing Women will probably most likely be leaving feTV as well.

Newsradio? Isn't that from the 2000s.Some may like it but in my opinion Antenna TV should stay away from 21st century shows.But hey otherwise I still like the channel.

feTV is a cable network so it might still stay there as well. feTV airs some shows that are also on Antenna or Me. But it will probably leave Get TV.
