Friends is coming to TBS in the fall of 2001.

TJ · 05-12-2001, 03:47 AM

Will it still be on in local syndication or exclusively on TBS?

Pavan · 05-12-2001, 04:13 PM

I think both, but we shall see...

I hope it also stays in local syndication. TBS has a wierd start time for their shows (5 mins later) and WAAAAY too many commercials!!! Which means the shows will be hacked to pieces to allow for those ads to run!

I AGREE TBS CUTS A MINUTE OR TWO FROM EVERY SHOW IT AIRS.

Your best bet is tape the show while it's running on the network because once it's in syndication, it's a guarantee it will be chopped up to make room for all the commercials.

I am pretty sure it's staying in local sydnication. TBS doesn;t usually get the annoying exclusive rights to the sitcoms it airs.

Pavan · 07-17-2001, 12:16 PM

Friends:

"Friends," will begin on Monday October 1.
For the first two weeks only, TBS will air it at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. (ET)
during the week. After those initial weeks, the show's regular weekday
schedule will stay at 7:30 p.m. (ET). "Friends" will also air on
Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. (ET).

Pavan · 09-13-2001, 02:58 PM

3 weeks or so left...

I like the TBS episodes better. Has anyone noticed tat FOX has been airing the same episodes recently? THey all seem to be from the same season. TBS is playing the older and better episodes.

I'm so glad someone else noticed this. I don't even watch the shows on FOX anymore. I'm glad someone else picked them up.
