[Pavan]

Thread is almost 100% complete. But talkback is now open.

[clj2]

Ugh. Bad marathon choices. They should do one for Night Court, Dick Van Dyke, and Leave it to Beaver - not the same ole same ole like Sanford and Son and All in the Family. TV Land is so disappointing these days.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I am so very glad to see Benson at 10:00 pm and I am so very glad to see TV Land doing a Three's Company Marathron but I hope to see Threees Company on The TV Land Regural Schedule soon

[JT]

Typical, in regards to the 48 hour marathons. Just plain typical. Good for TC, though, I'll be reacquainting myself with it through the marathon.

I get so annoyed by TVLand sometimes. For every special stunt they have, every marathon, it's ALWAYS shows that we see on their channel every single day. The beauty of the Warner Brothers marathon last year was that throughout the entire schedule, there was absolutely no show that was on TVLand's regular schedule. It was such an incredible experience, and I know the ratings weren't good for it, but sometimes, when you really care about your audiences, you have to take a chance.

Eh, the summer movie block sounds interesting, at least. I hope it's some good stuff from the 70s and 80s.

[gilligan fanatic]

It will be nice seeing What's Happening at a time other than 11. Speaking of 11, what's it with putting new shows on so late. You would think they would want to expose Benson more.

[judgestone]

Thank you for letting me know ahead of time I wont be watching any of 48 marathon May and June either. Except I like Three Company I already have DVD's so I dont need to watch 48 hour TC on Tvland. They should put something else like "Alice" & Would like to watch Night Court 48 marathon one more time.

Il just watch Cheer and Night Court as alway.

I couldnt watch Happy Days becasue it is not closed captioned for tvland I have to to have closed captioned and it only on in the morning and I have to work.
I like this little fella

Pavan, I was just wondering if you heard anything on the live action Mr Magoo series. You posted something about it in November I think.

I think it is in development. That is all I know. It doesn't mean it will air.

in on way I kind of hope it gets picked up because the movie from 1997 wasn't that bad, but on the other hand I think they would ruin it. I wish they would just air the shorts since Boomerang dropped them last year and the DVD was pulled weeks before it came out.

Is it just me...or are they NOT airing any 4th season episodes of TC for the marathon? WTF!? Of course, my absolute favorite season of the entire series, and they do not even air it. Yet they air all of the Terri seasons. That's screwed up.

I like June's new morning line-up and while it's sad to see Bewitched/Jeannie go, I like the idea of Good Times/What's Happening at lunch time.

Glad to see Three's Company getting a marathon, this is for all those people out there who complained that Season 8 never got shown as much as the others (I guess it didn't, but that's not too rare for last seasons). Hopefully the show will be back on the line-up sometime in the fall if not before (kind of doubt that with all the new shows coming in and this marathon)

I wish TV Land would do one more month of marathons. I know they aren't going to do a marathon for every show they have as they would all not do well all weekend long (people shouldn't expect most shows that generally air in the mornings or overnights to get a marathon)

If they were to continue with marathons in July, I'd like to see:
- The A-Team (sort of weird they are doing a 48-hour Miami Vice marathon, but yet they air this show at 2pm and Vice at 2am- clearly these both do better than most of the other crimestoppers, but it's hard to tell which one of these two does better)
- Cheers
- Leave it to Beaver

maybe Happy Days and/or I Love Lucy (I think these may be like The Brady Bunch- they aren't the highest scorers on the regular line-up, but may do well in a marathon event)

Yeah, that's what I kinda thought. Sorry about that.
