Are you saying Gunsmoke isn't beloved? It ran 20 seasons. It was in the top 20 17 of those seasons. They announced a few weeks back about it being part of the marathon. Gunsmoke has great ratings on TV Land and Gunsmoke did great in sales on the Gunsmoke DVD. I am an All In the Family fan as well and both shows have big fan bases. It's not like TV Land is showing a marathon of Dr 90210, they are showing one of there highest rated shows along with All in the Family. It is an easy way to gain ratings.

I did not say Gunsmoke isn't beloved but it had no buisness bein' in the All In The Family Marathon my opinion is that it's awful but people like it I'm just saying it should not have aired this weekend

Oh Ok, I see what you are saying. You wanted it to be a 48 Hour Marathon like the Brady Bunch and Benson.

An 80s Guy · 06-12-2006, 07:32 PM

Now it's not even going to be a 48 Hour marathon of Sanford And Son either

A Western from the 60's has no place on an AITF marathon...THE END

well, I happen to LOVE westerns; and in fact "Gunsmoke" and "Bonnanza" are 2 of my favorites. And, I read that TV LAND plans to keep showing it for a LOOOONG time!!!

Also, I'm getting tired of "All in the Family" it's been on so many times.

An 80s Guy · 06-13-2006, 10:44 AM

The Westerns are shown almost all day on Sunday All In The Family isn't getting shown enough Westerns bring good ratings they come on everyday and almost all day on Sunday isn't that enough

gilligan fanatic · 06-13-2006, 12:36 PM

Again, I like AITF but it has a decent afternoon spot. The Westerns are shown on the early afternoon during the week

An 80s Guy · 06-13-2006, 05:58 PM

but also shown all day sunday I have no problem with westerns I don't like them but when they advertise a AITF weekend marathon they should give us one
