I'm surprised Night Court is still on, but I'm glad to see it's doing well. I'm also glad they haven't abandoned MB or MAY - I thought once they were gone in August they'd be gone for good, but I'm glad they're not!

I belive Three's Company should be in a daytime Slot like 3:30 pm CT Time on TV Land.

I'm loving the 3AM-6AM block

It's very interesting though how it just seems to constantly be the CLASSICS that do well - the originals do great on their first airing but they can't air repeats of them constantly with success and the newer vintage shows (like Mad, Murphy, Just Shoot Me, 3rd Rock, etc) never pull through. I realize MAY and MB were N@N retreads but the other 2 are given a chance and either fail (JSM) or will probably fail (3rd Rock)... we'll see about Scrubs. Yet, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, M*A*S*H, Hogan's Heroes, Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Sanford and Son, Jeffersons, Good Times, Leave it to Beaver and I Love Lucy ALL get better time slots than the aforementioned shows.... just saying

I do agree that it seems like the classics do better than the "modern classics" 80's and 90's shows. But, looking at this schedule, it seems like Beverly Hillbillies isn't doing as well as we might have thought - it's primetime and evening slots are gone, and it's only airing in afternoons and latenight - still better than some other shows, but maybe it isn't holding up too well in primetime. And I'm still surprised that TAGS and MASH are out of primetime this schedule - Andy is now only evening, MASH is only latenight. I think TV Land really wants the modern classics to do well, but its the classics that end up coming back.

All i got to say is I am so glad that 3rd rock is back on TV!

ethelmaepotter · 08-20-2008, 12:29 AM

I think the programmers at TV Land must be on something. I mean, every month, they change the schedule around. Shows aren't on long enough for people to find them and start watching. Shows airs 10 times a day, then 2 times a day, then once a week, then their gone....all over the course of about two or three months. Does anyone know the ratings for TV Land now? They must be losing people...

rodwayne · 08-22-2008, 11:10 AM

Have these people lost their mind?!?New rule:no more shows on this network unless it's more than 20 years old!The tried,overplayed movies still on,trash and junk that they couldn't give away,and now,here comes 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN.This show haven't even been run into the ground in syndication,yet it's on this network;how come I'm not surprise?!I hope like all of the modern classics,it fail and fail hard!!!Then fired the idiots that running,or in this case,ruining this network!

They are on something to think that 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN is a classic;maybe in 20 years.there needs to be a new rule;no more "morden" classics,run into the ground movies,reality shows or any other junk,trash,nor bull

I am glad to see The Cosby show on again plus Murphy Brown! It looks like I will be watching more TV Land now. I will miss Threes Company also. Its a great show.

Schmoopie · 08-24-2008, 05:29 AM

I used to wish I had TV Land because it seemed like they would always show the classics. Now they have regressed into doing what the other stations have been doing (particularly Nick at Nite), showing relatively new shows. And what is with a reality show being aired on TV Land! I thought the whole point of TV Land was to air old shows that aren't around anymore! TV has really gone downhill. Thank God for TV on DVD. Never thought I'd be excited about paying to rent something that I used to be able to watch for free!

No more All in the Family? This sucks

storrs19 · 09-07-2008, 11:02 AM

This entire channel sucks wind

But then I am used to that now which is why I no longer watch it so I really don't care what they air or not. I gave up on tv several years ago save for a few select channels like Turner Classic Movies, Fox Movie Channel, and some of the History / Discovery Channels.

ekkostar · 09-08-2008, 01:38 PM

I love that they're still showing Night Court, but I'm unhappy that they still are neglecting episodes. One I haven't seen since 2005 was an episode from either season 2 or 3 where everyone tells Dan to dress up because they're having a costume party and he ends up being the only one at the party in a costume when he arrives (I believe he was dressed as the Scarecrow from Wizard of OZ).

They did recently play the one where Harry gets the yellow Mel Torme lunchbox and I hadn't seen that one since the marathon.

storrs19 · 09-13-2008, 10:25 AM

TVLand is notorious for skipping episodes of several series from what I understand. It seems they are repeating the first season or two of The Beverly Hillbillies over and over from what i can tell by my digital cable guide. I guess they don't have rights except for the first two seasons...or they have some idiot doing the programming. My guess is the later.
