Nick@Nite September 2003 -- Roseanne Marathon - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ugh, I can't stand Roseanne!

AKA · 07-26-2003, 01:50 PM

I love Roseanne, save for the abysmal final season, and I'm glad the show is being added to Nick At Nite's lineup.

As for Full House - I used to like it, but then something important happened that made me change my opinion: I turned eleven. They really need to rethink airing it on Nick At Nite. Nickelodeon would be more appropriate for the show. It's for the kids. As an adult, I don't find Michelle "cute," I don't think Joey does a good "Bullwinkle" impersonation, and I definitely don't think John Stamos is a good musician.

Boy... that Uncle Jesse and his Elvis impersonations! That show cracks me up! Kimmy Gibler's feet stink!? I'm in stitches! Stephanie just said "how rude!" Hahahahahaha! Danny Tanner is a neat freak! Now that's comedy! Cut... IT.. out!

Sorry. I think I spent a bit too long ranting about Full House. I deserve every flame I will get from you folks.

Anyway, another thing wrong with Nick At Nite is that they seem to have an obsession with Bill Cosby (who I also love, but enough is enough). You can cut down on Cosby Show airings, Nick At Nite. It's on eight times a day on cable, let alone the countless markets where's it still airs in syndication. Now Cheers has been relegated to 1 am purgatory for the sake of airing two more Cosby Show episodes - even though the show just aired two hours ago! Do we really need that much Huxtable love?

And by the way, nobody wants to see Kids Say The Darndest Things.

This brings me to those damn "double takes." They'd be able to air more shows during the night if they ceased this practice. As I said earlier, I love Roseanne, but if cutting down its airings means we can watch Wings at a better time slot, so be it.

And Who's The Boss? The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air? Remind me a few days before these shows start their Nick At Nite runs so I can gouge out my eyes.

A brand new life around the bend, indeed.

Anyway, I agree with just about everything you said, AKA. Can't really speak much about what you said about Roseanne at the top. Used to watch the show when I was a kid, but I did like the show. The whole last season was the lottery thing, right?

Yeah. It became a surreal crapola-fest. And the final episode was the biggest copout I've ever seen in my life...

tvfanfor1980's · 07-27-2003, 04:04 PM

IM SO SICK OF THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!! TBS in fall will have 1 extra airing of it, plus, Cosby. Why such an obsession? Nick At Nite is pathetic! PATHETIC!!!!!! I cant wait till they plummit. Haha!! They will have to cut down on The Cosby Show when FPOBA and WTB comes. When these 2 other shows come, the schedule should be like this:
9:00- Whos The Boss
9:30- Whos The Boss
10:00- Full House
10:30- Full House
11:00- Fresh Prince Of Bell Air
11:30- Fresh Prince Of Bell Air
12:00- Roseanne
12:30- Roseanne
1:00- Wings
1:30- Wings
2:00- Coach
2:30- Coach
3:00- Head Of The Class
3:30- Head Of The Class
4:00- Perfect Strangers
4:30- Threes Company
5:00- Cheers
5:30- The Cosby Show

I really wouldn't be surprised if WTB? got stuck with a dead 2AM slot. I really enjoy WTB? and all the shows that I enjoy always get the shaft.

AKA · 07-27-2003, 05:21 PM

This is what I'd do with the schedule (and yes, I'll even include the ones I don't like).

9:00 - The Cosby Show
9:30 - Full House
10:00 - Roseanne
10:30 - Cheers
11:00 - All In The Family
11:30 - Family Ties
12:00 - Three's Company
12:30 - Wings
1:00 - Perfect Strangers
1:30 - Head Of The Class
2:00 - The Cosby Show
2:30 - Full House
3:00 - Roseanne
3:30 - Cheers
4:00 - All In The Family
4:30 - Family Ties
5:00 - Three's Company
5:30 - Wings

Seems more logical, doesn't it? And you get more mileage out of your shows that way...

GoldenFamilyTies · 07-27-2003, 09:27 PM

I'll be getting my tapes ready for the Roseanne marathon!! I can't wait.

As for all this Cosby Madness, I just try and ignore it.

Chelsea · 08-02-2003, 07:33 AM

PS but no HOTC? How quaint. I can't recall Viacom slotting one without the other before.

3 hours of Cosby out of 9 hours of programming.

Good Lord. If their aim is to have "Modern TV Classics", then here's a small list of what they should do, according to me. (And I LOVE telling networks how f'ed up they really are)

1)Dump the Double Takes. As far as sitcoms go, I don't care how much I love the show, I can rarely stand seeing multiple episodes in a short span. Not only does it create a burnout, but you burnoff the shows too quickly that way.

2)Cut Back on the Cosby. 2 hours of Cosby Show, PLUS one hour of Kids Say a night? I have nothing against Mr. Cosby personally, but I can't stand having to watch the same people ad infinitum, just becaused some bass-ackwards programming exec is getting paid off to air more of his stuff.

3)Move AITF and TC to TV Land. Let's face it, even if we like the shows, we can pretty much agree that they ain't exactly new (ESPECIALLY AITF). Give them some nice cushy slots on TV Land.

4)Air more library programming. Everyone, Viacom has a GREAT deal of shows under at least a limited lease, that they COULD air but DON'T. Why not dig some of them out of the mothballs for the late night slots, move the current late night stuff to middle-night, and keep the high raters in early night.

5)Don't air Full House. Ever. For Any Reason. Some of you may like the show, but, I'm fairly positive that, for everyone who likes the show, there are 3 that hate it with a passion. Heck, I hate the show enough I could count as 3 myself. I was flipping channels the other day, and turned it to my local WB affil. full House was on. The show was on maybe 10 seconds, and I was already sick to my stomach.

6)Don't air the LAst Season of Roseanne. EVER. I have no problem with any season of the show up until that point. The last season I hate more than the Worst season of Full House. I have no qualms about any of the other seasons of Roseanne, but don't air that one.

7)Move Wings to an earlier slot, or to another Viacom-owned channel. That show deserves to be seen in a good timeslot, dangit. It IS a good show.

8)No More Kids Say, ever. One of my top 5 least favorite shows, ever. I'd rather sit through a marathon of just about any show from any genre than watch this. Heck, Full House replacing the show in Oct is actually an improvment. And I never thought that I'd be saying FH was an improvement on ANYTHING.

This is so ironic . . . but I disagree with this. I know that I'd agreed on this before but now I see a different view of things. Anyways, I think Three's Company should remain on Nick at Nite until TV Land changes its programming. Right now, I feel as though the network is shifting more to the shows from the 50's and 60's than anything else. With that concept, I feel that neither Three's Company or All In The Family will fit in as well on TV Land. Also, I think All In The Family should be given a hiates for awhile because it has been on practically since either 1997 or 1998. Give other shows a chance to air. Give it a few more years, and THEN add AITF and 3's Co. Hopefully by then we'll have a TV Land 2.

Here's my *suggestion* schedule for that time:
9:00 PM "Full House"
9:30 PM "Full House"
10:00 PM "Perfect Strangers"
10:30 PM "Three's Company"
11:00 PM "Roseanne"
11:30 PM "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
12:00 AM "Who's the Boss?"
12:30 AM "Cheers"
1:00 AM "Wings"
1:30 AM "Coach"
2:00 AM "Full House"
2:30 AM "Perfect Strangers"
3:00 AM "Three's Company"
3:30 AM "Roseanne"
4:00 AM "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
4:30 AM "The Cosby Show"
5:00 AM "Family Ties"
5:30 AM "Cheers"

Shows eliminated: All In The Family, Head Of The Class, Kids Say The Darnest Things.

Nick at Nite used to do that practice until the network started shifting gears to the shows from the 80's. Like I said before, Nick at Nite was never the same after September 4th, 2000.

Here's a schedule from Nick at Nite way back that I remember which features "the show mileage" practice-

December 1998 schedule (lasted through the month of January 1999):
9:00- "The Brady Bunch"
9:30- "The Wonder Years"
10:00- "Happy Days"
10:30- "Laverne & Shirley"
11:00- "I Love Lucy"
11:30- "Bewitched"
12:00- "Mary Tyler Moore"
12:30- "Taxi"
1:00- "Newhart"
1:30- "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
2:00- "The Brady Bunch" (repeat)
2:30- "The Wonder Years" (repeat)
3:00- "Happy Days" (repeat)
3:30- "Laverne & Shirley" (repeat)
4:00- "I Love Lucy" (repeat)
4:30- "Bewitched" (repeat)
5:00- "Mary Tyler Moore" (repeat)
5:30- "Taxi" (Mon-Thurs) (repeat)/ "Newhart" (Fri) (repeat)

Awww, Those were the days . . .

Tammy · 08-04-2003, 09:34 PM

I think they should only air 1 episode of each show per night, or else go to block scheduling and have a different schedule for every day of the week in order to leave time open for more shows in the schedule. I don't think AITF or TC should be moved to Tvland, because they do seem to be going to older shows like someone else mentioned.

Actually, the begining of the apocalypse started on October 7th, 2001. After that night, N@N was on some sort of high and decided to really play around with it's new found controls. The final nail in the coffin came on the night of March 3rd, 2002. Ever since that day, N@N has never been the same. Trust me, Strokes, Facts, ALF, and Silver Spoons are all 100% more entertaining than the Cosby Show will ever be, now that's it's been in the same timeslot for 16 continuous months. Harldy any of the shows I mentioned lasted in it's slot for more than 16 weeks.

Chelsea · 08-05-2003, 01:33 AM

September 2000 wasn't the problem. The 2 key problems, as was said before, were October 2001 and March 2002.
