Pavanbadal, if any of this is incorrect or if you need to change anything, go right ahead. I figured many people here would be interested in this information.

Looks good. I think Boston Public won't be coming this fall though; I guess it didn't sell. Ricki Lake is canceled too, which I know you know but I guess forgot to list it. I think they'll make Fear Factor into two half hours though? Maybe I'm wrong on that.

My bets for the sitcoms in NY:
I am betting Malcolm will be on BOTH WNYW and WWOR. Yes, Dear will probably be just WWOR, same goes for Girlfriends.

I'm not sure about Fear Factor. I think FX is airing it as an hour, so that's what I'm going by. I remember reading somewhere about 14 minutes of advertising per episode, which would indicate hour long but I'm still not 100%.

Any info on any new syndicated dramas, in the vein of Star Trek Deep Space Nine or VIP, or do they not even make those types of shows anymore?

JTC · 06-22-2004, 11:47 AM

"South Park" is also debuting in syndication in Fall 2005. It hasn't found a home in NY yet. It will air on KCAL Los Angeles, WCIU Chicago, WPSG Philadelphia, WSBK Boston, and KBHK San Francisco, among others. My guess is that it will air late nights.

Pavan · 06-30-2004, 04:23 PM

Hmm maybe America's Funniest Home Videos is coming to locals this fall? WGN is going to add it this fall.

The Bob Saget episodes(that PAX airs) or the newer sucky episodes?

The newer ones I believe, with Bergeron (who is better than Saget).

I remember hearing about this last January and it was for fall 2003 but it never happened. I guess it's happening now.

That is good That America's Funniest Home Video's is coming to WGN.

I guess this means Grounded for Life comes next year and Scrubs the year after that, right?

I don't know yet about locals, but Grounded for Life is coming to ABC Family in January.

Really? That doesnt excatly fit the "family" theme. Grounded for Life is TV-14, right? My guess is ABC Family will butcher it, like they did with Who's The Boss?, which is only TV-PG.
