Screen Gems & WB Deals

[tvparadise]

I've read that TV Land is losing the rights to their deals with the Screen Gems shows and the WB shows. I know Screen Gems is expiring at the end of March, when is the WB deal expiring?

What are all the shows that are a part of the Screen Gems and WB deals?

WB? I can't answer but i'm guessing around June 2005.

Warner Bros. Deal expires at the end of this month as well. Screen Gems deal was renewed in January 2003, and that also expires at the end of the month.

Basically, both deals are any show that are not on any other cable network they have access to. Some Screen Gems deal shows they have aired are: Hazel, Father Knows Best, Dennis the Menace, Donna Reed, Archie Bunker's Place, Fish, Bridget Loves Bernie, Gloria, Mary Hartman, Fernwood 2Night, Soap, Tabitha, etc.

Some Warner Bros. shows they have aired: Perfect Strangers, Welcome Back Kotter, Head of the Class, Just the Ten of Us, Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip, Adventures of Superman, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper (TNN and Nickelodeon aired it), etc.

Thanks.

After these 2 deals expire, what shows will TV Land/Nick @ Nite have the rights to that they currently do not air besides:

- Three's Company
- Bob Newhart Show
- Coach
- Fantasy Island (still airs now, but not after March 17)

Good question. Coach and Fantasy Island are expiring after May. The Munsters is as well, but I expect a renewal of that. Bob Newhart expires after Aug. 31.

Batman won't be airing starting in April, and they still have that for another year or so. So I think your list is correct, but Batman was missing. I can't think of any others. They lost rights to Get Smart, Honeymooners, Mary Tyler Moore, My Favorite Martian, Charlie's Angels -- the missing shows we haven't seen in a while.

This news is disappointing, especially when TV Land didn't air the whole series of "Dennis the Menace". They only aired about 40 episodes total wise. That's shame because Dennis is one really good show. It's too bad that shows like "Dennis the Menace" get exposed less often while shows like "Leave It To Beaver" practically HOG the spotlight.

Bob Newhart DEFINATELY deserves to air.

Even it got an overnight airing.... it still belongs on TV.
Air it instead of Cheers.
Even if it is my favorite show.


What do I care.... its on N@N.... and the DVDs are DEFINATELY either here/or on the way.

Once a show releases the 3rd season.... the entire series is guaranteed on DVD.
Season 1 tests the waters.
Season 2 checks to see what people think if multiple seasons are out.
But once the 3rd Season comes.... you KNOW they wont stop.
Because if someone bought the first 3 seasons of a show -- why would they stop there?!
