On TV

[Woolworth27]

I just can't understand why TVland never show the Honeymooners anymore? They use too a few years back, but now they have stopped for some time now. I have seen petisions on TVland.com for the honeymooners but still no change. How are you going too show I love lucy but not the honeymooners? I don't get the goodlife channel in my area, a matter of fact I don't know anybody who has it.

I think one reason has to do with the cost to acquire the rights. The other is there are hundreds of shows that they have to choose from. My guess is it makes more economic sense to get shows as cheaply as possible, so long as there will be a substantial viewership.

And in response to 'Woolworth27's' question in another respect: I have what used to be GoodLife - now known as AmericanLife - on my cable system.
