So I guess Who's the Boss is too new of a show on N@N to be on for a full hour like

Roseanne, the Cosby Show, and Cheers? This really bothers me

Actually, if you tape the 3:00am airing of Who's the Boss, you get one hour per night.

It would just be better if the show was on back to back like the stupid cosby show

Yeah, it would be better. It will get worse starting july 5th with the marathons and stuff.

I agree 100%.

But, imo, it was even stupider to put it at 10pm instead of sandwhiching it between Cosby Show and Roseanne, two of their more popular shows, but whatever. I still say it deserved an hour.

And guess what? They only have the rights for a freaking year, while all the other shows have multiple (Cheers has 7 years, Cosby SHow, who knows how long they have that) years.

I'm taping Seasons 2-8 while I can (1 is on DVD, so why tape that?) before it's dismissed off. I love the show and I pray that it does good in the ratings, but we'll see.

It really irks me too.

I mean even Full House and Wings(one of my fav. shows) Even got hour timeslots after their marathons, not to mention back to back hour timeslots.

I mean they're showing two different episodes each night, but still.

I think it'll do great in the ratings. It's still a really popular show. People said Full House would bomb on N@N and it hasn't. People said Wings doesn't do well on N@N, but obviously it does, or they wouldn't have kept the show after a year and some months.

I think this can only help the season 1 DVD release too. I can't wait for Season 2 to be released.

I agree, WTB is still a really popular show whether N@N thinks so or not. I think it'll do great in the ratings. Especially considering how badly ABC Family treated the show.

I am taping Seasons 2-8 as well, I just hope they don't skip any episodes, they do that to Wings, they skip episodes during the rotation cycles, plus they tend to skip Christmas episodes alot

I think it's not on for a full hour because of the deal with The Program Exchange. Usually their shows on Nick@Nite have limited number of airplays per night, like Coach and Charles in Charge. Didn't anyone notice that usually these shows weren't listed on the weekend schedule? And even Fantasy Island and The Love Boat for TV Land.

I too agree that they should have put Who's the Boss? at 10:30. Two reasons -- like TVJunkie101 said, sandwitched between Cosby Show and Roseanne. The second reason is that Cosby Show is more suited for children than Who's the Boss?, especially after Full House.

That's not true, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it were.

Hmm... you're probably right on that. I did notice Fantasy Island and Love Boat never seemed to be on weekends. Love Boat was for a bit, I think. Fantasy Island seemed to either air Weekdays or Weekends, not both.

Coach I believe was given one episode a night when it first started, right? But fan complaints on the TV Land boards made them do an hour at 11pm, but it still bombed. And Charles in Charge got double-takes for a while, then it went to one episode a night. And actually, the contracts are shorter for Program Exchange, it seems! Love Boat: 2 years (2001-2003, renewed 2003-2004) Fantasy Island: 1 year (2003-2004; renewed 2004-2005) Charles in Charge: 1 year, Coach: 2 years (2002-2004), Who's the Boss: 1 year (2004-2005). Is it just a N@N thing? because WTB was on Fox Family/ABC Family for quite a while.

I see once N@N picks up a show that does well in the ratings, they usually stick with it-LOL

When Who's the Boss? was on FOX/ABC Family, Columbia Tri-Star distributed it. The Program Exchange picked it up for distribution this year, on May 31. Some shows they only do local channels for, like Three's Company. DLT Entertainment distributes it for cable. Coach is going back to Universal for distribution, that's why USA Network is going to air it this fall.

So, The Program Exchange is not your ordinary syndication distributor. It can get confusing.
