The Truth about TVLand!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I saw this quote about how the way TVLAND is these days. It pretty much sums it up!!

"consider the source....TV LAND! look who else they consider icons! roseanne!!! alf!!! look at their "classic tv"...."highway to heaven"..."hunter"..."wings"..... so many others!

tv land's problem is, it's programmed by 20-30 year olds for old farts like me in their 40's to 50's...... "

I believe this quote pertains to the tvland show chasing Farrah!!

What they don't realize is that us old farts could care less about Farrah now! Just like everyone else!

If they wanted to show Farrah, they should have just put Charlie's Angels back on.

Exactly!!!

I mean, I LOVED Barney Fife, but I wouldn't be interested in a show about what he's doing these days!!!

tvland should just keep shows from the 50's and 60's on and let nick at night show the shows from the 70's and 80's. I believe they did this about 4 or 5 years ago!! let tbs and tnt and other stations show the shows from the 90's and after!!

I can agree about the '80s, but the '70?

That was the best decade of sitcoms.

If TV Land only showed shows from the '70s (dramas included) it would be far better than it is now.

if the would stick to sitcoms instead of westerns,cop shows,dramas,it would be much better.nick at night isn't much better its the same few shows over and over .i felt both were better a few years back.

Yeah okay whatever. If Hunter aint classic tv then I don't know what is. Just because you may not like a show, doesn't mean it's not a classic. And it always amazes me how people like to begrudge other people about seeing their favorite shows. It's not our fault TVLAND chose to air Wings, we're just happy because we don't get to see it on any other channels

Wings is 15 years old, in the television world that's considered classic

dave insinga · 05-24-2005, 11:35 AM

i just feel both were better a few years back no need to bite my head off, i like hunter,not thrilled about bonaza but hunter is ok .

The problem with this quote is that it is not true. Roseanne has never aired on TV Land. It is on Nick@Nite. ALF's Hit Talk Show was just for 6 episodes and has not aired since December. Wings is no longer on TV Land, as of now. Chasing Farrah was just 7 episodes and is no longer airing.
Highway to Heaven and Hunter are 80s, but at least they are not 90s. Highway to Heaven will just be airing in the afternoon starting next week anyway.

Great post Pav

I don't what it is, why some people think that 80's shows can't be considered "classics" I mean there are shows I don't like but I don't deny they're classics

dave insinga · 05-24-2005, 12:24 PM

lets keep in mind the 80's were 20 years ago thats classic as far as im concerned.

eddie146 · 05-24-2005, 01:08 PM
