I always wondered that also. If you recall earlier in the summer, there was an article about Fred Berry's wife suing Sony Entertainment for the use of Fred's image and likeness. But like everyone else said, the series is on DVD and can be found at rental stores such as Hollywood Video so I would rather watch those.

I have thrown my hands up in the air with TV Land and Nick at Nite. In the nineteen years that I have been watching this(these) network(s), I have never been so frustrated or disappointed with the disorganization of the programming. I don't see things getting better. It is like they are slapping things like putty up against the walls to see if will stick and if it does not, they throw some more in place of the other putty. I am going to amazon and try to buy every TV show that I might like in my collection over time. My season three of "W.H.!" just came in the mail so now I do have the enitre series. Do what you want TV Land.

I know what you mean brother...Damn, this is more frustrating than trying on a pair of pants that are too damn small!

Really, what are they snorting over at TVLand????

I am sticking with DVD's. This is a bunch of malarkey!

Nick at Nite with their constant Fresh Prince marathons is horrendous. Someone must like FP over there.

ThomasE · 12-19-2006, 01:19 PM

FP is on NAN, then it is also on Noggin during the primetime. Give it its own network. I'll bet Will Smith himself is tired of repeated airings, maybe that is why he went to go find the pursuit of happiness.

I know!!!! My five year old son watches Noggin for the children's programming and then I can tell when FP has come on because he gets mad and screams, "MOM!!!" His way of saying his programming his over and that piece of crap FP is on.

My God, FP seems to be on all the friggin time!

I haven't watched Nick-at-Nite in years. Every once in a while I would catch some of Cosby but there's nothing entertaining on there anymore. I haven't watched that channel regularly since The Lucy Show was on.

As for TV Land, the last time I watched in recent days was when they showed a mini-marathon of What's Happening Now!! and The Ropers overnight. I haven't caught their regular programming in several years. No need to when you can watch TV-on-DVD. I wouldn't be surprised if Nick-at-Nite was headed for some sort of takeover and re-vamp soon. They need it.

The mad programmer at the "big V" [Viacom] strikes again!

Scoobiedoo30 · 12-24-2006, 12:05 AM

What do you mean by The mad Progrmmer at Big V Viacom Stricks Again.

KurtfromPitts · 12-27-2006, 01:05 PM

TV Land is owned by Viacom, and that channel, along with other Viacom-owned channels, has been known to screw up its programming. What just happened with WH is just the most recent example. TV Land, once they put a gem on, yanks it immediately just as one is getting into the show.

One show they brought forth and didn't even give it a good chance was 227.

I'm not sure why but I could never get into 227. The only ep I have on Tape is the one with Sherman Hemsley when he was dancing
