Hardest Part of Making Fantasy Schedules - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MikeLutton · 06-20-2026, 08:13 PM

the hardest part of making these Fantasy schedules is trying to come up with the best Schedules that make sense and best time slots for all the shows anyone else agree on my CTM one i gave other shows a break and put up ones that we dont see on tv these days

I only just recently started getting into creating fantasy schedules, and I have the same problem with one of my recent channels, MJM Archive, and it was very frustrating to come up with different shows to broadcast without repeating a single one of these shows.

I have been creating these schedule all the way back to the Usenet group days in the late 1990's, most often on alt.tv.game-shows. It can be a challenge to find the right time slots for shows, but I have had many years of practice!

Mike, you do a wonderful job with your schedules, and you're getting better over time! Marcus, from what I have seen on this group, you're definitely off to a good start!

thanks i must of redone my CTM schedule over a few times today i got family shows then high school block then work all day Block family Happy Hour Block then back to work again

i took off Barney Miler good times, Three's Company moved Welcome Back'Kotter What's Happening One Day at a Time n Maude to Afternoon Weekend Blocksi took off all the 1950s and 1960 shows

although i did add The Munsters and Addams family to 6:00am and 6:30am hour weekdays fits better

but weekends are the Hardest at times

Thanks for the compliment.
I still do have a couple of other channels that I'll be revealing in the next couple of months, so stay tuned for those.

Marcus, my dude, if you want another compliment, I have one for you.

I know it's hard to try to create fantasy schedules for the first time, especially with that MJM Archive channel you came up with, trying to find a show to put on it without repeating one. But you started off great! Your comedy, drama, soaps, Westerns, sci-fi, cop channels, you did great on those.

And I can't wait to find out what MJM channels you will reveal later on. My guesses would be MJM Toons, basically similar to MeTV Toons, or MJM Heroes, similar to Heroes & Icons, or MJM Black, similar to BET or Dabl. Those are just guesses for now, but all will be revealed soon, I know. In the meantime, keep working, Marcus!

Marcus2026 · 06-25-2026, 02:19 AM

I will say that one of them you guessed was one I just did just the other day.

MikeLutton · 06-25-2026, 03:23 AM

i edited my CTM Schedule nothing major good times has been replaced by 227 i want air shows that are not on reruns barley anywhere and air shows people want to see

Weekends Mornings are the hardest for me sometimes

I saw. MJM BLK, a channel featuring Black shows. I can't wait to see what other channels will be revealed in the next coming months. Remember, making fantasy schedules is hard, but you're still off to a great start! Your schedules never disappoint.
