Do you think it's worth asking the Disney Channel to air Still the Beaver or has Disney gone immature?

I kind of doubt Disney would air it. Disney is into the now teen stuff at the moment, and NLITB just isn't new and I doubt a lot of teenagers would watch it. Eh, should I say what I'm thinking? No, I'm probably wrong, but I'll say it anyway. Okay, NLITB spent a little time on TBS, correct? What is N @ N doing now? Aren't they acquiring shows that came from TBS and WGN. Let's take a look.

Three's Company- Yes, spent sometime on TBS.
Cosby Show- Yes.
Wings- not too sure
Cheers- not too sure
All in the Family- not too sure

But lets look at the new stuff they are getting.
Full House- Yep
Roseanne- Yep
Fresh Prince- Yep

But then again the new shows have been shown on TBS forever. How long was NLITB on there? NLITB might be too rare for N @ N, but maybe they'll get some brains one day and show some rare modernish shows. Yeah, I know, NLITB= the 80s, but still it's newer than the plain LITB.

Wouldn't make any difference to me. I don't have the Disney channel.

I do wish somebody would pick that show up though. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

last week i emailed tvland, the hallmark channel and TBS superstation. They all said that they don't have any plans at the present time to put it on.

any other channel suggestions?

Still The Beaver originally aired on The Disney Channel, but was retitled The New Leave It To Beaver and moved to TBS and first-run syndication for the remainder of its run.

I highly doubt The Disney Channel would ever air the show again. Your best bet would be TV Land. I bet if they knew there was enough demand for the show, they would air it, at least periodically. I imagine it wouldn't cost very much to acquire the rights to the show.
