Does "Empty Nest" still air??

Brett Ferino · 01-01-2001, 02:52 PM

Currently there are no stations in this country airing re-runs of Empty Nest. Once it is picked up by a syndicator or a cable channel we will let you know...

There were atleast 10-15 stations airing it as recently as 6 months ago - maybe the syndicators decided to pull it out of all markets. I don't understand why it's not shown on WGN or Lifetime..

Brett Ferino · 01-07-2001, 12:28 AM

It should be on Lifetime.

ThomasE · 01-07-2001, 01:50 AM

WGN aired it until it was replaced with Hawaii 5-0.

VORS27 · 02-05-2001, 01:51 PM

Lifetime and WGN suck.
They won't even leave the credits alone and they were rude about it!

Brett Ferino · 04-27-2001, 04:59 PM

I THINK WE SHOULD ASKED EM TO AIR IT THIS FALL ON LIFETIME

Drew · 07-15-2001, 01:36 AM

I think Lifetime should rerun it to. Or how about Oddyssey.

plappy · 08-15-2001, 01:36 PM

There is this one rumor that the show will air on Oxygen in 2004.

Drew · 08-15-2001, 11:53 PM

I think I read that Buena Vista/Disney (the syndicator) is letting their agreements with local stations lapse so they can sell it to a cable channel in the future. Cable stations pay more for a show if they have exclusive rights than if they have to share rights with local stations.

Please, with Micheal Eisner running the Disney company, he will not put it back on the air until someone will pay some major bucks for it. LIFETIME must pay a fortune for the exclusive rights to air Golden Girls for so many years.

Miss Golden · 06-06-2003, 12:32 PM

Lifetime could easily pick it up, because they still own the Nurses episodes which they bought with Golden Girls. Since all 3 shows were basically owned by the same company they could easily show it.

The problem is the concept is not necessarily geared for women as Harry and Charlie were usually the central characters.

Lifetime owns Nurses? Hmmm... news to me.
