O/T Michael Landon Marathon WHY? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Why in the world is Tvland waisting valuable airtime this labor day weekend airing a 48 hr Sappy Michael Landon Marathon this is just stupid IMO It will be the least watched and lowest rated marathon ever aired on tvland. What do you guys think about it

I love little house on the prairie, but since this show has been seen in syndication on almost every channel in the universe, I don't see the point. TVLand should show episodes of something that is new, or maybe a mini-marathon of different shows with a certain theme tied in. Something, but I agree with you.

Do you think they are doing his marathon this weekend because its labor day weekend. and usually most ppl are not home watching tv their on vacation or outside having a pool party or barbecue. and they didnt want to put any of their high rated shows like our fav Sanford & Son on and get bad ratings just a thought.

Knowing TVLand and how screwed up they are, anything is possible. Good thought though, hmmmm..........

Well I'm not bothered by it because i will be watching the that's my mama and what's happening marathon in my city all weekend. But yeah a Highway to heaven marathon is Too much

The marathon will certainly be the lowest rated one TVLand ever had.

Personally, I do not like Little House on the Prarie or Highway to Heaven.

And I'm not a big fan of Westerns, but I do like Bonanza and I don't know why.

That's the guy who played Monk and Tony the cabdriver on Wings. I think his real name is Tony Sharob or something like that. I have to laugh because even though his character was supposed to be a loser at love and kinda goofy on Wings, I had a huge crush on him - still do.

Even Doogie grew up not to bad. (Gee - now I sound like a "Cougar" or something!

)

Oh thanx tripper. I can't believe that he was playing a "loser". Well, I can make him a "winner" anytime. LOL

That's Tony Shalhoub who played Antonio on "Wings" and is currently playing Adrian Monk on "Monk."

The picture is from the tv series "Stark Raving Mad" in which he played an eccentric horror novelist with Neil Patrick (Doogie) Harris as his editor.
A very funny series that was cancelled after one season.

thank u for the info. i appreciate it. he is so nice looking.

hoosierelvisfan · 09-01-2005, 02:11 PM

I love Bonanza
I like Highway to Heaven
I can't stand Little House

So, I could take it or leave it. I normally like TV Land's marathons although I can not sit in front of the TV all weekend long watching TV Land even IF it is a show I love watching. But despite that, I'm just thankful that it's not a "TV Land Top Ten List" marathon!!!!

Now THAT is a show that TV Land does WAY TOO MUCH! Plus, you'd think TV Land could find something else to air on Saturday mornings besides the TV Land Moguls series.

Hellllllllloooooooo, TV Land, you've only shown those shows about 100 times each. I think I've got those stupid things about memorized by now I've seen them so much.

Signed,
Respectfully,
Dutch
