I hope this doesn't hurt the DVD sales the way Nick At Nite reportedly hurt Who's The Boss, I will be watching though

Dean Winchester · 01-23-2006, 11:40 AM

only thing I dislike about the episode list is that the last two seasons are almost non-existent here, the show was still good without Dolph Sweet (who passed away in 1985 in between seasons 4 and 5) and the last episode TV One's airing is the one dealing with his passing.

If it does join the regular lineup, I'll just be content watching on tv as opposed to buying the dvd set. Though I think running this marathon just days before the season 1 dvd release is good promotion for it.

that's what I was thinking, but I know a lot of people blame the low WTB sales on it premiering on N@N the same week, even though personally I'd think high exposure on a channel like N@N would boost sales (notice that the overplayed shows like Roseanne, Full House and Fresh Prince have greatly outsold the underplayed Murphy Brown and Who's The Boss).

At least TV One doesn't exactly have the N@N/TV Land style audience, Good Times was on TV One before TV Land and it didn't hurt the DVD one bit.

If it were two years ago, or maybe even 1 year ago, I'd get the set, but I've gone overboard with my collection so I've gone into a pick and choose mode and become more selective in what I'll buy. In that respect it'll be good to see at least a few episodes on TV One. I haven't watched GAB since the prime time airings.

Dean Winchester · 01-23-2006, 06:50 PM

I'm gonna record the season 2-5 episodes that TV One airs just in case they don't come out on DVD

Wheeler Sloane · 01-23-2006, 07:05 PM

How come no episodes from season six?

I wondered that too, I will NOT be watching any of the season 1 episodes on there because I am gonna get the DVD but I will tape the rest. There's too many season 1 episodes on there, I'd like to see some of the NYC episodes again

Wheeler Sloane · 01-23-2006, 07:13 PM

This is definite TV One material.

spunkygirl · 01-23-2006, 07:14 PM

This is great, I'm def. watching

Does TV One air their shows uncut?

Wheeler Sloane · 01-23-2006, 07:17 PM

I don't notice any edits on their shows.

lol, if I recall, Jay Johnson played a ventriliquist in the episode. So I guess Bob, lol.

Wheeler Sloane · 01-23-2006, 08:43 PM

Wasn't her ex's named Tony (played by Ben Powers; aka Keith Albert "KA/Kool-Aid" Anderson from the sixth and final season of Good Times)? I can't remember.
