Looks like it’s replacing Silver Spoons. Would be nice if this channel had more 70s and 80s shows.

Yes, they discontinued Silver Spoons a few weeks back, and doubled up on Jeannie.

With a name like Gac, I am wonder if people will think that thus channel is associated with Nickelodeon?

Yes, GAC, which was Great American Country, has rebranded as GAC Family. Some are saying they are a Hallmark clone, since they run a fair amount of Christmas movies. It was previously owned by Scripps, then Discovery, and thank goodness, they divested it to GAC Media. I say thank goodness because many of the Discovery channels are formatted with junk reality shows, some of which previously spilled over onto GAC.

But GAC Family is really nothing like Hallmark, other than the similarity of their movies. They don't go off the deep end with the movies like Hallmark does, running them 24/7--they run several sitcom blocks--Hazel, Father Knows Best, Who's the Boss?, Jeannie, Bewitched.

We already do know one thing they do--if a show doesn't meet their goals, they pull it quickly. Silver Spoons was only on for a few weeks and was yanked. It seems Silver Spoons just does not "play" anymore, as Antenna TV has had problems with it, too.

Probably. I doubt GAC was running time slots of dead air.

I see GAC (I like saying GAC. Any Seinfeld fans remember Todd?) runs sitcoms in 36 minute time slots.

Thank you.

Are the episodes on GAC Family unedited (in other words, they're pretty much all intact and like they were when they originally aired on ABC) compared to say, when they aired on Nick at Nite circa 2004-05. I bring Nick at Nite up because the those appear to be the primary source of finding streamed episodes since Who's the Boss? isn't officially available on DVD post Season 1.

Is GAC Family slowly phasing Who's the Boss? out from their schedule? For the past few weeks or so, they've reduced their airings to only a day long marathon on Wednesdays. It appears that The Facts of Life has for all intent and purposes, taking its spot in the weekday schedule.
