Is this forum a shill for TV Land? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

bencasey · 07-12-2006, 11:03 AM

Why do I keep seeing all these posts, TV Land this, TV Land that? TV Land sucks. How about some posts about ALTV where they actually show programs that haven't been constantly on for the last 30, 40, 50 years? Give me a break. If one didn't know better and they came upon this board they might think TV Land was good instead of the crapfest it's become. Let's see, ALTV shows F Troop, Chico and the Man, Welcome Back Kotter, Courtship of Eddie's Father, Color Honeymooners, My Favorite Martian and other shows that haven't been on a million times. Sounds more interesting to me than the 6,000th cycle of Beaver, Andy, Bonanza, ad nauseum. Hope they pay you guys well.

what the hell is ALTV?

We cover TV Land a lot because they make a lot of schedule changes each month and it also has stunts. We cover AmericanLife TV, but it is not a well-known channel and they don't change their schedule much (and no stunts either)...maybe once a year they change their lineup, and when they do we DO cover it.

ooh ooh ooh I can answer that one!!!! It's because TV LAND is one of the more popular Cable TV networks that airs TV Shows and since it's a General Forum for TV Topics, that's why you see TV LAND Topics. I started topics about TBS and ABC Family in the past but those networks don't air TV shows the way TV land does. And Not a lot of people on this board have ALTV which is why you never seen anyone talk about it

Just cause you have seen the show six thousand times doesn't mean other people are sick of it... and your forgetting about other shows that don't get show alot (Wings, Night Court, Benson, 227)... And who exactly makes you watch and look at threads relating to tv land? no one so if you don't like it avoid it...

I noticed you hang around the general sitcoms board a lot. You should venture out into one of the other boards, a lot of non TV Land talk and stuff about the actual shows and not the networks happen there.

BTW, out of curiosity do you have the Don Rickles Variety Show or the Don Rickles Sitcom from 72'?

Not everyone has ALTV...i used to get it here, then it was taken off. TVLand is more visible to members here.

I think he has it but doesn't really get involved in tape trading unless he really wants something you have.

Where's my $$$$$$$?

I don't know where this person got the idea I said anything nice abt TVLand, those stupid idiots, brain-lacking bastards with interns as editors, racist, trash-talking forum board...

Sharop · 07-12-2006, 06:46 PM

When I've been on holiday in America and watched TV Land, I've always thought it to be very good. It's because of TV Land that I got to see Cheers, Family Ties and Wings for the first time - not to mention Three's Company, The Andy Griffith Show and Sanford and Son.

I'd make sure I watched it every evening at my grandparents' house. I really enjoyed TV Land.
