That's disappointing. Why do they skip episodes anyway?

TV land Canada skipped episodes, too. They played the first couple seasons and then began again with the Pilot episode. I was hoping to see episodes like The Real Thing and My Name Is Alex, but I don't know if they ever aired them. To get the collection of episodes I have on tape now I've had to tape episodes from both Vision TV and TV Land Canada. It would make sense to me, too, to show the episodes in order.

I found out from the TV LAND board that the reason is because Family Ties contract expires at the end of November and that contract restrictions may be the reason certain episodes will be skipped during the remaining airing of the show.

Corleone23 · 10-11-2004, 12:43 AM

Any news on if it will air on a different channel after that?

Or if TV Land will pick it back up??

Usually, TV Land gets new contracts on shows soon after the old one expires.

Oriole Adams · 10-25-2004, 07:12 PM

When TVLand buys the rights to a show, it's usually for X amount of airings per episode. If they have a specialized marathon of some sort, it often involves showing particular episodes, which counts towards the total number of airings they're allowed. The upshot is certain episodes have already been aired their alloted amount of times, and are therefore excluded (or "skipped") during subsequent sequential runs.

(Hope that made some sense.)

Don't know. Will see what happens. If not, maybe it will be out on DVD soon. According to amazon.com "Not yet released". No word on when will it come out. Stay tuned.

Isn't the first season of "Family Ties" supposed to be released on DVD in the first half of 2005?

Harper49 · 12-08-2004, 07:33 PM

Harper49 · 12-14-2004, 07:50 PM

I sure do occasionaly, but I'd would like to see FT for a month on the-N.

musicradio77 · 12-29-2004, 11:39 PM

Another great show on TV Land bit the dust since November 24th.

I wonder I would pray for a DVD.

Sharop · 12-31-2004, 09:44 PM

On TV Land's website, they still have "Family Ties" listed as one of their shows, so maybe they have plans to renew the contract soon?

Either way, it doesn't make much difference to me right now, since I live in the UK - but we usually go to America in the summer time, and I try to catch it on TV Land during the couple of weeks or so that we're there.
