"Fresh Prince", "Murphy Brown" to join Nick at Nite - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TV Guy · 05-06-2004, 02:55 AM

Nick at Nite announced at its fall upfront presentation yesterday that "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" will join the schedule in September, while "Murphy Brown" will join in January, 2005.

Good luck with "Murphy", Nick -- that show has already bombed in syndication and on Lifetime.

Yes, Murphy Brown was the secret show I told everyone that would be coming in January. I think everyone knows about Fresh Prince for this fall already. TV Land has a secret drama coming in January, which I won't say until the press release comes out. The press release for Nick@Nite's Murphy Brown, etc should be out later this morning or afternoon.

Murphy Brown = awesomeness.

Great to hear that its coming.
I think its a great fit.

Maybe by January 2005 double takes will be dead, and they will all of the shows they air now, plus WTB?, FP, and MB all before 1:00

I doubt that, have you seen the new TV Land schedule? Double takes everywhere in primetime.

I don't see Murphy doing any better on N@N than it did on Lifetime, which must have been bad because it didn't stay on no time. Well hopefully, at least, with this pile of new shows coming, Cosby will have to be cut back some.

What I think the lineup should look like in January 2005....

9:00 Full House
9:30 The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
10:00 The Cosby Show
10:30 Who's The Boss?
11:00 Roseanne
11:30 Murphy Brown
12:00 Wings
12:30 Cheers
1:00 Coach (if they still have the rights)
1:30 Full House
2:00 The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
2:30 The Cosby Show
3:00 Who's The Boss?
3:30 Roseanne

10:00PM The Cosby Show
10:30PM Who's The Boss? (if it does well)
11:00PM Roseanne
11:30PM Murphy Brown
12:00AM The Cosby Show
12:30AM The Cosby Show
1:00AM Roseanne
1:30AM Roseanne
2:00AM Cheers
2:30AM Cheers
3:00AM Who's the Boss?
3:30AM Wings
4:00AM Murphy Brown
4:30AM Murphy Brown
5:00AM Full House
5:30AM Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

FamilyTiesGOP · 05-06-2004, 12:01 PM

I can see where I am going to watch N@N less and even more less soon. I dislike Fresh Prince and Murphy Brown. I already dislike Cosby and Full House. The only time I watch is for Cheers at 1:00am and occasionally Roseanne (when TV Land is messing with its 11:00pm slot) and I am not watching a tape.

Ant-Lox · 05-06-2004, 12:14 PM

I love murphy Brown, I forgot all about that show.

plus Double takes are good.

ClassicComedyFan2 · 05-06-2004, 12:19 PM

I've never seen Murphy Brown, but I will give it a shot.

A secret drama coming in 2005 to TV Land? I'm intrigued...

I would like to see The Fugitive come to TV Land. I really enjoyed it when they had it on their TV Land Moguls block.

jayman75 · 05-06-2004, 01:42 PM

Murphy Brown is LONG overdue for syndication. I can't wait. I will be taping this one!!!

Dean Winchester · 05-06-2004, 02:23 PM

Murphy Brown? yes. I still think it is way too soon for Fresh Prince to come out on N@N.

Too true, since it was only for what? Less than a year on Lifetime in 2000/2001?

LucyFan · 05-06-2004, 03:22 PM

Great, I wouldn't be surprised if more Nick at Nite shows (such as The Cosby Show, ect.) end up on TV Land by January 2005. What a shame.
