Shows Laff TV should get in the future? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Steve Winslow · 07-25-2020, 01:50 AM

I was thinking about how Laff will change their schedule this fall, and that made me start thinking about shows that would be good on the channel. I think that "George Lopez" and "Everybody Loves raymond" would fit in good on their channel with their current shows like According to Jim, Home Improvement, and even Grace Under Fire and That 70's Show to some extent. It would also be nice if they would bring back "Roseanne." Also "8 Simple Rules", "Still Standing" and "Yes, Dear" could work. I feel that they should have a wider selection of shows, because I mean seriously, they play so much Home Improvement that they go through an entire season in three days (8 episodes a night.) This means that in less than two months, they have cycled through the entire series (obviously Laff isn't the only channel to overplay it's shows, as it's all too common nowadays.) Their most played show used to be Jim but they cut down on Jim only to play more Home Improvement. As much as I like Home Improvement, I'd say that 8 episodes a night is too much. The same can be said for Family Matters on TV One.

I like that LAFF is good to Home Improvement airing so much of it. That is a nice change from previous syndicated channels Home Improvement didn't last long on. Everybody Loves Raymond still airs on TVLand in primetime, not needed on LAFF. Roseanne hasn't been missed. World's Funniest Videos needs to go away, 3rd Rock from the Sun would be a much better fit from their current shows in afternoons. George Lopez would fit good with According to Jim. Shows I would like to see them add are Boy Meets World, Mad About You, and top rated Canadian comedy Corner Gas. Corner Gas deserves to have a US audience again after WGN dropped it a long time ago.

LAFF has so little variety (6 sitcoms only) it would be nice to see them get more shows for more variety. For example, I'd certainly like to see "Blossom" show up on LAFF one day, and this would make sense seeing as "Blossom" is owned by Disney who LAFF gets some shows from. "Boy Meets World" I agree would be nice to see, but I'm not sure if it truly fits LAFF's format, which seems to be about 90% risque sitcoms, and it may still be tied up in cable contracts, I don't know for sure. Now, on the realistic side, I think a show like "Malcolm in the Middle" would fit on to LAFF. Now, I don't like "Malcolm in the Middle" at all but I could definitely see it fitting. I would also love to see them take more advantage of Disney owning the Fox library since they get a lot of their shows from Disney. I also wouldn't mind seeing shows like "A Different World" or "Empty Nest" return.

I would like to see them add Dave's World and The John Larroquette Show.

Plater of Everything · 07-25-2020, 04:20 PM

They need to bring back Empty Nest, Drew Carey, Grounded for Life, Ellen, and Spin City.

The Cosby Show would also be a good fit for LAFF as well.

That show used to air on Bounce I believe. But they got rid of it because of what Cosby did.

January 2015 to July 7, 2015. Then it was put back in December 2016 until April 26, 2018, the day he was convicted.

Excellent! The last time Mad About You aired on Antenna TV was before I had an affiliate. And now they can pair it with Paul Reiser's other show My Two Dads.

Cheers would be a great fit with Night Court. Too bad Me TV is still holding on to the rights despite it never airing on their schedule.
