Nick@Nite July/August 2003; Annual Summer Marathon!! - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

According to TV Guide, the first Friday night at 2am (early Saturday) will be Sanford and Son, not Family Ties, as Pavanbadal has posted. I wonder if this was a last minute change or if TV Guide is incorrect.

You are correct. Another last minute change. So Family Ties will just be weekends at 5 a.m.

I guess that overnight week long marathon of Sanford and Son did well, lol

99.9% chance that is for sure the reason.

Czas na Zywiec · 06-27-2003, 03:20 PM

Why doesn't N@N just burn all their copies of Family Ties? That way, they won't have to even deal with it.

Really N@N, if you wanted to stick SAS into the marathon, why didn't you just replace that second hour of Cosby, Cheers, or Three's?

Adamantium · 06-27-2003, 07:05 PM

I'm not a fan of Family Ties and even I think this sucks. I mean TV Land already shows Sanford and Son. Why does N@N have to show it as well? Besides, I HATE Sanford and Son. I bought the DVD's thinking I could get into the show, but I just couldn't.

I just hope Wings stays on Wednesdays. I think N@N really does like Wings, but due to the ratings feel they have to hide it in the lineup. If they didn't like it, why would they call it a Modern Classic?

As for the above post, I agree. They should replace their second blocks of either Cosby, Cheers, or Three's Company. Not Family Ties. Give that show a chance.

That's pretty much what I said on the Sanford and Son board. I know I should feel all happy about Sanford being included, but I know it's not right. Sanford and Son has so many timeslots on TVL. Family Ties has one dinky little time slot, and I would be surprised if anybody stays up and watches it that late. I know many were prob. looking forward to that FT marathon. Yeah, I know it was still pretty late, but it's still would be a marathon.

*Note, I am a big Sanford and Son fan, but I'll say upfront the Family Ties fans are getting the short end of the stick.*

I completely agree with every single thing Jenny said.

HDfanLiz · 06-29-2003, 06:27 PM

I'm so irritated at N@N right now, I could scream. Family Ties is my favorite of the N@N shows, so I guess this isn't much of an appreciation summer for me, is it?

I just hope when some of my favorite shows which are supposed to start airing on N@N in the next year, like Full House, don't get the shaft so N@N can show Cosby Show over and over again.

Probably because it's their highest rated show. If I ran a network, and had a show that brought in the kind of ratings Cosby brings in, I'd air it in the best possible spot as well. Of course alot of people feel that N@N playing Cosby so much is overkill, which may be true, but lets face it, they've been airing it for close to a year, and it still is apparentaly getting phenomenal ratings. I say the smart thing to do is to milk that show for all it's worth. I don't think you should worry too much though. With the 4 new shows that are coming to N@N in the next few months, Cosby probably wont be in primetime for much longer.

Jo_Marie · 07-07-2003, 01:54 AM

Just Once I'd like to see the show we want to see. If I was working at Nick at Nite I'd Air: Facts of Life, Head of the Class, Family Ties, Perfect Strangers, Alf, Just the ten of Us, My Two Dads, Growing Pains, Charles In Charge, just to name a few.

Nick at Nite is supposed to be Modern TV Classic's , right?

Then why are they showing, All in the Family? I know there are some of you who like that show but I'm Sorry, I don't and Frankly I'm tired of it being everywhere I turn around. I'd like to see it disappear for at least a good 10-20 years.

I'd like to see the shows I want to see, not the shows they want to see.

It's to bad Ted Turner doesn't own the rights to these Shows cause if he did they would probably get as much air time as saved by the bell. (which he still airs)

Anyway, I'm just blowing off some steam after looking at the line up.

I agree about All in the Family. I mean it's a good show and all, but now that N@N has moved to the 80's & 90's, AITF doesn't fit in. Neither does "Three's Company." I'd love to see ALF and most of the above shows that you listed come. I can't see how N@N calls it Viewer Appreciation Summer. That ticks me off more than anything. And about the "Cosby Show" hour every night, I don't care about the ratings. I am so tired of that show. And I don't even watch it. Just by turning past N@N, I've seen every episode. Litterally every time I turn to N@N it's The Cosby Show. And now they've picked up another show I despise, Sanford and Son for the Summer marathons. Which I don't see why they can't just leave that to TV Land. One day, I'll become President of N@N and then things will be different. Oh, will they be different.

Televised Static · 07-08-2003, 11:57 PM

Every night, I would stay up 'til 4 for my Perfect Strangers and Head of the Class. Most of the time, I had morning classes later that morning, thus, I would get a grand total of 2 hours of sleep. Finally, school is out, and I get to sleep as late as I want. Thanks N@N, for wonderfully ruining my summer.

Eh, I guess I still have weekends...and the Sanford and Son is a nice addition to the line-up, as I don't get TVL. So, lose some, add some...I guess.

TALLguyinKY · 07-10-2003, 03:37 AM

Yeah, I really hate how both "Perfect Strangers" AND "Head of the Class" get the "summer shaft" here---not to mention "Family Ties", too!

Personally, I'd gladly give up "Sanford & Son" for one of those---or less "Cosby"---I loved the show, but c'mon, even I admit that enough is ENOUGH!

Chelsea · 07-13-2003, 08:07 AM

What they did with Family Ties and Sanford & Son is just Sad. If they had switched out any of the 2nd blocks (Including the 2nd TC & AITF ones), or had originally put Coach in the slot, and pulled IT out, I wouldn't be as upset, but to put in one of the "Back" shows (PS/HotC/FT/KSTDT), then switch it out for something they don't even regularly air, is absurd.

IMO, if I were doing this, just using the shows which appear on N@N nightly, and using what appears to be the standard programming logic, I'd:

*Give back the 9-10 PM ET hour to Nick for the duration of the summer. It's not like there's any real way to program 2 shows into 9 hours neat and tidily, so chop off an hour.

Swap Out the Following Things:
Monday:
2:00 AM - Head of the Class in for Three's Company

Tueday:
2:00 AM - Perfect Strangers in for All in the Family [this gets better]

Wednesday:
2:00 AM - Family Ties in for Wings [Trust Me on this]

Thursday:
10:00 PM - Wings in for Cosby Show [Told you to trust me]
2:00 AM - Coach in for Cheers

Friday: Wouldn't Change a Thing

Weekends:
Sanford & Son Replaces the 12:30 AM Cosby Show, and something (Go fishing at TV Lang) replaces Kids Say. Heck, give the slot back to Family Ties
