no offense to those who swear by it (I like it too), but Three's Company is becoming to TV Land what Cosby was to N@N. I mean, it's good, but only in moderation. They had several all-night TC marathons a few weeks ago that completely screwed up the Family Ties schedule, shafting several season 6 episodes from being aired

Here we go again...we better brace for the fact that Family Ties could get off the schedule before the summer is over. It really is a shame.

::sigh:: Figures...I just started watching the show consistently, and was really getting into it, and now its being downsized again. I usually just catch random episodes here and there, but I now wanted to try watching the entire series from beginning to end. (I know they skip eps, but still...) I can still try, but its gonna take forever now.

Is it on the same four days, Jen?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Bring on the Family Ties DVDs! (season sets, of course)

Aww, that's too bad they're cutting it down. But at least we have a month until they do so.

Hey, that's actually not that bad...we're only getting one less episode a week. I was afraid we'd only get four or something. I'm really gonna make it a point to tape the show every day...hopefully TV Land plans on keeping it on awhile...

The new schedule after midnight will be:

12am: Sanford and Son (how many times has that been shown?)
12:30am: Cheers
1:00am: Cheers
1:30am: Family Ties

TV Land will not be airing the last two episodes of Family Ties.

They are not showing the Pilot either. They are skipping to episodes 2 and 3. I am really angry about this. I don't know why they cannot air episodes in order in which they occur.

I don't understand why TVLands does that, but I guess that's just how TVLand is. Since it was the first run of FT on TVLand you would think they would make sure to air the last two episodes even if that meant having to cut other episodes. I also noticed that they will not be airing the pilot.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure during the first run of Roseanne on Nick @ Nite, they skipped the 2 part series finale, and then, also skipped over the pilot. They did show it in the future, however. I think they've done this with other shows, as well. Why, I dunno...

Simply stated: TV Land and N@N can be simply horrible at airing shows with the fans in mind.

Well, once again TVLand has made "minor" changes. So FT will air even later.
It will air at 2AM(Eastern)/1AM Central), instead of 1:30AM(Eastern)/12:30AM(Central) Time. I don't like that it's been pushed even further back, but I guess it doesn't surprise me a whole lot since TVLand is known for doing that.

Our only hope will be season set DVDs coming out I am afraid.
