Bad news for The Cosby Show on TBS?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Madness · 05-03-2001, 01:59 PM

According to the TBS schedule, Tuesday July 10th will be the last airing for The Cosby Show! The show, according to the schedule will air at 4pm and 4:30pm and will not be back on until Tuesday July 10 at 4:15pm. I can only see up until July 31st but there's no more Cosby Show after the 10th for as long as I can see. I'm hoping this is just an error on the TBS site because The Cosby Show is one of the best shows on that channel. It would be a huge loss for the channel. This is not confirmed but is on the schedule. It looks like the TBS Movie will be on from 2pm-5pm, replacing the Cosby Show.

It's just an error, try Good Times, Family Matters, Saved By the Bell too, same thing happens.
They have The Cosby Show until 2004.

Really? Good. I tried the schedule, not by show. Coach is gone, too according to the schedule search.

Madness · 05-03-2001, 02:38 PM

I checked the show search. Cosby Show goes up until Jul 10 and Full House goes up to July 31. If it's not an error, maybe it's going on a short hiatus possibly?

I did some investigating...

I think it's still schedule problems. Because I see Good Times, Gilligan, Coach and Cosby Show still not listed

I think those links don't work...anyway go to the Superstation website, click Schedules, Choose May 19...in the URL there is a 16 there (not the end one, the first one, after the word TBS|), change it to 60. Look at that schedule. Then change the 60 to 89, see what you see.

Personally I think there is just a glitch after June 29th or whatever.

That's what I did first and how I found out about the shows missing.

I knew this would happen. "The Cosby Show" has never done that great in syndication. Even though it was the number one show in the 80s, it only lasted about five years in syndication originally. I think everyone got their fill of it by the time it was done. It's not really a show that you can watch over and over and laugh at the same jokes like "The Simpsons" or "Seinfeld". Basically "The Cosby Show" is a good sitcom to see every five to ten years for about a year or so, before you get bored with it again.

Well now, it seems to have done well this time around. Lord knows it was on 5 times a day between my local network, TBS and WGN. People tuned in and watched.
