It's a solid way to try and gain an audience, but the audience that watches the shows will only stick around for so long.

If I had the power to remove it from my tv lineup I would. I waited for years to get that channel and then enjoyed it for about 2 years before it JTS. Most cable channels are overrated. They have a couple good shows and the rest are junk. The only show on TV Land I like is Hot in Cleveland but that can't make up for how bad the channel has gotten.

I'd like maybe if they can devote one day of the week to a different decade that way everybody can be happy with their favorite shows.

This is a much better TV Land schedule with more classic sitcoms!!!

They should mix up there classic comedies with new comedies. I personally think that if TV Land gave as much promotion and hype and time to classic shows like they do with Hot in Cleveland, The Exes etc. I would think the ratings would be ok.

Change it back to same variety schedule format (at most point) prior to 2015 and have few of these blocks be similar to combination of Rewind TV, MeTV, Antenna TV and MeTV plus by having all reruns on the lineup.
