I agree with this. No show should be taken off in the middle or towards the end of a run like that.

Well, the way it looks, the shows only gonna be on for the next month. And on some nights, it will be interrupted for Christmas episodes and movies. With 8 episodes each week, we should get around 30 episodes, so we should be able to get through the series.

Classicshowsgurl15 · 12-02-2007, 05:03 PM

That's good. I hope that they show all of them.

Does anyone else get a bad vibe from the Drew Carrey press release from ION? When the CEO says "The Drew Carey Show will bring a nice breath of fresh air to ION Television’s primetime lineup" it would appear they are disappointed with their current offerings and are looking to transition out of the 70's and 80's sitcoms that aren't airing anywhere else?

Before you know it they'll be airing 6 episodes of Fresh Prince every night...

EmoJoe · 12-02-2007, 10:08 PM

they need to expand already...

people are obviously starting to give up on this network so they need to do it fast.

Well, their primetime from 8-10 is getting very old. Diagnosis Murder airing at 10, which has aired in that time slot a lot on the network in the past, is getting old.

They really need to expand, but they probably never will..

JulieSomoski · 12-03-2007, 05:35 PM

yes, please expand already! I don't know what they're so afraid of. It can only be better for them to expand!

I think Drew Carey will be a nice new additon to the primetime lineup. I don't think they mean anything by it. They're just saying their current primetime lineup is getting old, which it is, and it'll be nice to see something new on.

mgsports · 12-03-2007, 07:53 PM

Family Ties is on RTN.
Fresh Prince is on Nick.
They should expand but leave 5pm to 6pm for Local and National News,11pm Local News,6am Local News,Noon Local News.
Shows like Daves World,Major Dad,Growing Pains,S. Ward's show that was on ABC,Clarissa Explains it All and so on.
Bring Back Supermarket Sweep,Shop to Drop,Mall Game and so on Game Shows and do a new versions of Wipe Out and Hollywood Squares and so on.

NFL Game of the Week will air every Saturday at 6PM still. Kung Fu is no longer scheduled to return Dec. 15 on Saturdays. Maybe it will return when the NFL season ends.

Will WTB still be airing at 9pm as well? If so, that's great, because we've been getting it like once a week lately with all these Christmas movies they've been airing.

Pavan · 12-17-2007, 11:46 AM

Yes, for those three days WTB will be four episodes in a row.

Wow, it couldn't get better than that

48 Hours must really be doing badly in that 10pm slot. It's always good to see a sitcom replace a drama on the schedule. I'm surprised they didn't put Mama at 10pm instead.

Pavan · 12-17-2007, 11:50 AM

Well, WTB is moving to its new 10-11pm a week early. What better way to promote the move with its old time slot leading into it.
