Is Odyssey Network still around? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember the cable company in the Worcester, MA area used to have this channel when I was a freshman in college (1999-2000) but they dropped it. It aired reruns of ALF, Muppets, Doogie Howser, and other stuff. Is it still around with other cable companies?

Isn't that the Hallmark channel now?

Odyssey is now known as The Hallmark Channel. It was re-named in (I believe) 2001.

Odyssey converted to the Hallmark Channel on August 5, 2001.

Over the last 2 1/2 years, Hallmark has aired the following shows (among others):

*Shows currently on the channel

"Bewitched"
"I Dream of Jeannie"
"My Three Sons"
"ALF"
"Hogan's Heroes" *
"The Beverly Hillbillies" *
"Gilligan's Island" *
"The Facts of Life"
"The Addams Family" (2 special marathons in October 2003)
"Little House on the Prairie" *
"The Waltons" *
"The Big Valley" *
"Bonanza" *
"The Rifleman" *
"The High Chapparall" *
"Rawhide" *
"Matlock" *
"M*A*S*H" *
"Magnum PI" *
"McMillan and Wife" *
"Banacek" *

"Quincy ME" *
"The Equalizer" *
"Hart to Hart"
"Touched by an Angel" *

"Perry Mason" *

There are lots that I'm forgetting, but that's most of them.

When exactly does Hogan's Heros air on the station? I've never seen it on their and I like that show.

When it was Odyssey, they had ALF on. My cable system would only let us have it on the weekends, so that was the only time I could watch ALF. I wish Hallmark would show fewer dramas and more sitcoms.

How 'bout more comedies?

Thanks for the info, guys

I thought Hallmark and Odyssey were seperate networks. I don't get Hallmark with my local cable company

although it is listed in TV Guide.
