TV Land sucks!! - Page 8 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I wondered that too, why TVLand adds an extra 5 minutes or more into their timeslots and they have an annoying habit of not sticking to even numbered time airings, for example instead of showings like 12:00, 12:30, 1:00 they screw it up with 12:16, 12:48, 1:21.

Bonanza has well written characters and stories that keeps it on the air.

20 minutes of commercials per hour isn't enough, so they've gone "off the clock" to cram in more commercials.

TV Land is just unwatchable anymore.

Quit making new shows! That is a start. If your show is on basic cable, it sucks because it has been shopped to everywhere and no one wants it. One big exception maybe is "Hot in Cleveland" maybe, but it would be cancelled the first year if it were on the Big Four networks.

I think the Big Four networks should have classic shows from their websites. Best NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox shows on the internet, maybe for a fee. But I think not a lot of these shows are owned by the networks. For example, Star Trek is owned by CBS, even though it was on NBC. There could be multiple networks from old TV shows, on the internet, screw it, every popular show gets their own website. Like Bewitched? Dial (not a real website) www.bewitched.com (unless this is a real webiste) and watched Bewitched for a fee. Would make the distributor Billions. Get off the Copyright pot and just do it.

TV land can air whatever they want since we have digital TV now lol

loaferman · 08-18-2014, 12:20 PM

Looking at TVLand's schedule they air 2 "hour" episodes (which means around 40-42 minutes each) in 141 minute time slots. So there are 57 minutes of commercial shown during 2 hour long episodes of a show crammed into an extended time slot.

I just can't hang in with that.

If you want a good classic TV channel, MeTV is yer best bet.

Michael cole · 09-21-2015, 08:45 AM

I quit watching TV Land a while ago. Their new shows are pure filth. They edited their shows so they can squeeze in 20 commercials in one break. Ridiculous. That's why I have Me-Tv, Decades,Insp,and others!

tvfan25 · 09-21-2015, 10:17 AM

Only thing I watch on TV Land is The Facts Of Life and King Of Queens. I wish I could get Me-TV or Antenna TV, but you can't get those on Dish.

mets82 · 09-21-2015, 05:39 PM

The editing of the shows should stop but it wont.. They can change the logo, graphics and whatnot, the channel is still the same.

Michael cole · 09-21-2015, 06:03 PM

If Tv Land stuck to its original intention, maybe it wouldn't be in the dumps, like it is now. But, this is happening with all Viacom owned networks.

It's frustrating, isn't it? The only time I watch TV Land anymore is when there's at least 3 or 4 other things on at the same time that I want to watch. That way I can flip channels and avoid all of the commercials.

We want the classic TV shows back on TV Land.
