It made sense as Philo already had agreement with Urbon One. It was already carrying CLEO TV, which is a sister channel to TV One.

Cosby Show fans that don't want Amazon Prime but have Philo should be glad by this addition. TV One also Family Matters and some other sitcoms.

And still wont get rid of Good Times

What's wrong with Good Times?

It does air on getTV and TVOne, although getTV targets over the air viewers via affiliates first, while TVOne is subscription cable/sat/paid streaming viewers. But since Philo has both networks, there is less distinct value at least with Good Times airing on both networks.

I wish Philo would get FETV. FETV has Bewitched/Jeannie/Hazel/Matlock that is not on any of Philo's other channels. Plus, it'd be FETV's first streaming service if Philo added it first.

I believe LIGHTtv might be easy for Philo to add as it's streaming competitor, FrndlyTV, has LIGHTtv. MGM markets it as a free premium channel. Although Philo would have costs of supporting it platform, programming costs should be free. LIGHTtv has a mix of movies and some sitcoms, like Green Acres.

The only thing I like about Good Times is its theme song. It is a very overrated and overplayed show, I haven't missed Good Times at all from Antenna TV since it expired.

Its been on TV One since 2004 and its a marathon of the show everyday in the evenings and weekends

It sucks that they only play one hour of Cosby in the morning now, only to overplay their other shows. I have all the eps on dvd so I can watch it anytime I want, but it'd still be nice to see on TV too. They should air more Cosby show and The Jeffersons, instead of so much Living Single. And while I like FM, they play way too much of it, to the point where you could see the same episode three times in a month. I guess I could say the same for Good Times. They should give some of their other shows more of a chance to shine.

If they're going to play so much FM they should at least keep it fresh by airing 'best Carl episodes' marathons for example, rather than just playing the eps in order over and over again.

With a Philo subscription which is $20/month, it has an unlimited DVR that permits shows to be Saved for 30 days.

So, it doesn't matter the time of day or how often the show runs, but it just needs to be enough.

I remember saving Laverne & Shirley from Logo, and within a few weeks, I had the full series streaming which is pretty cool since that show is not on any streaming services. With commercials, but easily able to fast-forward. I have since cancelled and now just record Laverne & Shirley on MeTV via an Amazon Firecast DVR, and tune in to The Jeffersons on Decades.

Cosby Show is still available commercial free on Amazon Prime (requires membership), or on FilmRise through Sling. (free, but with commercials).

The full series of The Jeffersons (commercial free) is on Starz.

Honestly, I wasn't all that excited for TV One being added to Philo, but I figured it was possible with CLEO TV already carried. I'm not sure though it really helps Philo keep or gain new subscribers but every channel addition like this helps.
