Rights for cable networks like Logo and broadcast networks are usually separate, unless the broadcast networks are owned by the same company like Escape and Bounce, or Me TV and Decades. But if Me TV had the rights to something, rival broadcast network Antenna TV wouldn't be able to buy the show as well.

I see. Thanks for explaining. If it's only on a cable network now, hopefully one of the broadcast stations will pick it up soon. I get Cozi, Decades, Laff, Antenna, and Light TV, so i'd be happy if it came to any one of those channels. But not if it went to MeTV or Get TV as I can't pull those in.

If we're talking shows we'd like to see on Antenna, the ones I most want to see are: Chico and the Man, The New Dick Van Dyke Show, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Nanny and the Professor, Room 222, Julia, and Bachelor Father. Shows like Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days I highly doubt would come because MeTV still has the rights to them but they are not currently airing. I also would like to see Charles in Charge on Antenna and I agree that Harper Valley PTA would be a good addition to Antenna

Chico and the Man would be a nice addition.

Seems we have gone off topic, but will add three words.........

THE NEW GIDGET

Much the same as perhaps hapless scripts, but even the one season of gidget has been resurrected countless times, yes because Sally Field played the role as perky as Sandra Dee!

Caryn Richmond (aka Mrs. Greg Brady) played her role as "Auntie Gidget" to the max (and Im not talking Bayside) to a wonderful cast that included the legend William Schallert as her father.

Part of Missing television, and speaking of Sandra Dee roles, Anyone for the one season 1965 color ABC "Tammy" starring Debbie Watson, actually released on DVD overseas nearly a decade ago in brillant remastered color except for one episode. I transferred the entire set to american standard DVD, very hillbilly, but another one for my other thread about diginet country themed "Circle" who's only two sitcoms consist of F-Troop & Jeff Foxworthy.

I am just saying Antenna TV has taken huge leaps to find "Lost Television" and im talking far from classics, remember they did start with Circus Boy (Great) brought back "It's About Time", "My Mother The Car" "Joey Bishop", "Small Wonder".......plus Lynde, Lotsa Luck, Good Morning World, etc.

So wish they would keep digging into the countless shows regarding of scripts or how they holdup today, and I truly believe "The New Gidget" at least deserves a return, which was a huge success in first run 1980's syndication.

Why are they concerned about females?

I'm sure there's enough of them that watch ATV.

The second season began tonight on It's a Living and there's a bit of improvement over the first. They cut loose those 2 characters, Vicki & Lois who were just carbon copies of Dot & Jan and added Maggie, played by Louise Lasser who was "Mary Hartman" (until now I had no idea she was on this).

The characters are now much more distinct from each other and even Ann Jillian's Cassie is less brash and crude. So far it looks like this may be a better season to watch over the first one.

If he does not want to buy the DVDs of Laverne and Shirley because of edits, he is not likely to want to watch the show on Logo. They butcher shows to death with several of their shows barely making 20 minutes in runtimes.

At least the DVDs have fair runtimes even with several music edits/substitutions. You can still get 23 plus minutes of Laverne and Shirley episodes even with a scene cut here and there.

Some episodes run short on the DVD but none of them run at an atrocious 19 minutes and a couple of seconds like the ones on Logo.
