Coming in JULY: Flip Wilson Joins the Line-Up & Wednesdays at 10PM get better with lots of specials ...

[LucyFan]

I don't care for the June schedule (regardless of the return of The Addams Family). The line-up that goes into effect May 10th definitely needs MAJOR improvements, thats all I can say.

I'm disappointed that Ricky Ricardo (from I Love Lucy) was left out of TV Land's Dad event. He was clearly a father AND a role model to his son, Little Ricky. I can't believe TV Land ignored that, especially since Ricky was one of television's first dads.
If TV Land would have had a night solely dedicated to Ricky Ricardo, this is how I would organize and/or recommend the night:

8:00 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #045 - "Lucy Is Enceinte".
(This is the episode where Lucy tries to tell Ricky that she's pregnant with their son.) A very touching episode.

8:30 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #051 - "Lucy Goes To The Hospital". Desi Arnaz's personal favorite episode of the series.

9:00 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #080 - "Ricky Minds the Baby"
(This is the episode that has the classic scene where Ricky "acts out" Little Red Riding Hood in spanish to Little Ricky).

9:30 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #157 - "Little Ricky Learns To Play the Drums".
(This is the episode where Little Ricky gets introduced to Ricky's favorite instrument, the drums).

10:00 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #156 - "Little Ricky Gets Stage Fright"
(This is the episode where Ricky has a father-son talk with Little Ricky.)

10:30 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #162 - "The Ricardos Go To Cuba"
(A classic episode that showcases Ricky and Little Ricky performing the famous 'Babalu' number together in front of Ricky's Family. The performance scene defines the "Like Father, Like Son" saying real well).

11:00 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #163 - "Little Ricky's School Pageant"
(This is the episode where we see Ricky as a tree, Lucy as a witch, Fred as a frog, and Ethel as a fairy princess.)

11:30 PM - I Love Lucy
Episode #173 - "Ragtime Band"
(A post-apartment episode where Ricky comes to the rescue for Little Ricky in his PTA school musical).

[ClassicComedyFan2]

Good to see The Addams Family on the lineup. I saw some of it during a marathon and found it enjoyable.

More Cheers doesn't hurt.

Good to see EW&DG back. I missed it the first go-around.

Otherwise, not much to say. The specials are just the same old song & dance.

[Chelsea]

F...FF....fFll...Flip Wilson. holy Blinking Crikies. I NEVER thought I'd see that on TV again.

[storrs19]

Too bad it will be chopped up to 21 minutes of comedy only, since TVLand (like all the other networks) are too damn cheap to air the full program with the musical selections as well. I never even watch this channel anymore they have gone so far astray along with Game Show Network. Hell, the only sitcoms I watch anymore are on TVOne and that's because I'm taping Good Times and 227 to get the full uncut episodes since TVOne doesn't hack them up. I haven't seen a 26 minute episode of a tv show since TVLand first came on the air back in 1996 before they flushed away.

8am #5 The Addams Family Tree Pugsley and Wednesday start a row at a birthday party when their gift of a tarantula upsets Harold, the birthday boy.

1pm #15 The Addams Family Meets a Beatnik Rockland Cartright III is a beatnik who crashes his motorbike into a tree and recuperates at the Addams house.

Nobody likes The Waltons!!!

That's very interesting!!! I used to watch The Waltons when it first came on in reruns. And it is a very good show. I suspect the same holds true in the crowd that no one likes Little House On The Prairie as well.

Can I just say that there is no reason for "Addams Family" to air 48 hours (96 half-hours) when there are only 64 episodes. At least do a "Munsters"/"Addams Family" thing

I disagree. I'm happy with their decision because if we miss an episode the first time, we can always catch it the second time. But I do agree on one thing: it would be kind of neat if TV Land had an Addams vs. Munsters weekend.

Just added Stepford Wives stunt, it looks interesting:

Stepford Wives on TV Land Stunt
Thursday, June 10
8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Join TV Land and celebrate the new movie Stepford Wives, a remake of the 1975 classic. This new move has an all-star cast starring Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler, Matthew Broderick, Christopher Walken, Faith Hill, and Glenn Close. The 1975 classic was headed by Katharine Ross, Peter Masterson, and Tina Louise. Look out for those wives happily doing their housework. Will TV Land save them from the robots? Stay tuned...

Any takes on what shows you think they'll show? I'm guessing sitcoms where wives do a lot of housework. All in the Family and Happy Days come to mind...
