Why is not MTM on TV Land - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SpunkiiMonkii7078 · 11-07-2004, 11:06 AM

TVLand's "The Link" answered why The Mary Tyler Moore was not being broadcast, espcially since it was constantly requested, and he graciously provided the following answer.
TVLTheLink: I periodically post information (usually on individual show boards) when a show is not available in syndication. Current shows which are not available to "national" networks are "The Mary Tyler Moore Show", "Emergency", "Adam-12" and "Dragnet". The main reason that a show is not available is that the syndicators are trying to increase the value of the show for VCR/DVD release or insure that the show does not go "stale" with too much airing.]

So does this mean that someone (Fox or anybody else) will eventually release MTM? Maybe after everyone really starts to have a crave for it (like we don't already!)??? That's what I'm thinking, but it's been off air for quite a while, and nobody seems to be releasing MTM right now.

I'm sorry I spelled the topic wrong!!!! It was supposed to be 'Why MTM is not on TV Land', but I must of screwed it up. LOL!! Is there any way to edit that???? Because right now it makes no sense.

Those are lies!

Because Dragnet was on TV Land a couple of years ago...I remember watching it...

So it was obviously "available" to them then...

Pavan,

Is TV Land still trying to bring MTM back or is this a dead issue?
