It was a bit of an edgy comment. I mean, if the shows do well for them, why should NAN care if the shows are "ethnic" or not? So Will Smith is Black. Who cares? What about Lopez? He's Hispanic, and that doesn't make a difference to me. The point is, we're all sick of seeing Fresh Prince dominating this network.

That could be one good thing about NAN right now. Less Cosby. The show should already be entirely on TVland already, IMO.

Looks like your rant may have done some good, Solomon. According to NAN's online schedule, the only schedule is going back into effect beginning this week.

I hear that! I could care less what color skin Will Smith has, I am sick of his DAMN A$$ MUG ON N@N

Not to mention FP is on NOGGIN as well. Geez, does Will Smith own a piece of N@N or what?

I wrote that post wrong. Home Improvement is going back to 9 and 9:30. Fresh Prince is still airing at 11pm and 2pm. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it's really true. I know it still aired tonight at 9pm.

It was a TOTALLY edgy, not to mention, stupid comment. The poster was waaaaaayyy off subject, the whole point is some people are sick of Fresh Prince, not the color of his or George Lopez's skin.

I think the main problem with Nick is that they whore their shows to death these days. They should only show each program a maximum of twice a night. There are way too many sitcoms out there they can air

I seriously believe he does own a piece of NAN. Seems to me that when Will Smith heard NAN was airing his show less than 5 times a night, he made a few calls and had that changed-LOL

Yeah, he bought stock in N@N. Man, how can Jada stand his mug all the time? I am sick of it.

I just don't see what the big deal is about The Fresh prince airing all the time. Not one person has made a comment about the overairing of Roseanne and Home Improvement. If it's too much Fresh Prince, change the channel or deal with it.

Ireneparalegal · 10-07-2007, 10:11 PM

Roseanne no longer airs on N@N. And if it does, it is at an hour when everyone sleeps. I love Roseanne, but it is nice to have a change of pace with GL and HI. FP has gone beyond Cosby Show, Roseanne and any other show that has aired on N@N. It airs on NOGGIN as well. And it is not one episode. It is usually four episodes in a row.

Dean Winchester · 10-07-2007, 10:13 PM

if Will Smith didn't go on to become a huge star, would Fresh Prince be any more common in reruns than Blossom? I seriously don't get it. The show was popular but it was never a major hit in first run, N@N "flops" like Murphy Brown and Designing Women were far more popular when they were current than Fresh Prince ever was.

FP isn't that bad of a show, but does it deserve to be treated in the upper level of 90's sitcom blockbusters like Seinfeld, Friends, Roseanne and Frasier? I don't think so. It was more of a modest hit along the lines of a Boy Meets World or Blossom

Are you serious? How could you even say Home Improvement overairs on NAN? It's been airing a month, and so far has already has 1 airing taken away. It's airing 3 times a night, which is about normal compared to other shows. Sure, there was a point when Roseanne was airing all the time, but now it airs once a night at 3am.

God, I'd love to see Roseanne come back. As much as I love this show, I was glad to see HI come, but now I never see it anymore.

I agree with you. Fresh Prince was never a top 10 show or anything. It came in the top 20 two of it's seasons, where shows like Murphy Brown and Roseanne were top 10 hits for over 5 seasons.

That's why I don't get why FP is so popular. WIll Smith does have his movie career, but what movie has he been in this year?

Ireneparalegal · 10-07-2007, 10:17 PM

Let me add, people have blasted Roseanne AND Cosby show for being overplayed on N@N. The thing is Cosby is now off N@N and Roseanne airs ONCE.

Here you have FP continuing to play over and over and over again. How many times do they air FP in a row daily? And then add the four episodes they air in a row on NOGGIN. That is friggin' too much FP after all this time.
