And I don't mean Ha as in ha ha ha but that was the actual name of the network. Now, just off of memory, here are some of the shows that I know they ran, and I'm sure I'm missing some:

Bilko
CPO Sharkey
Mary Tyler Moore Show
Bob Newhart Show
Rhoda
Phyllis
Betty White Show (70s)
Dick Van Dyke Show
Your Show of Shows
You Bet Your Life
Steve Allen Show
Tabitha
Camp Runamuck
Quark
Occasional Wife
Bridget Loves Bernie
Captain Nice
The Charmings
That Girl
Mr. Ed
Dobie Gillis

I'm sure there were lots more but that's all that I can recall just off the top of my head. A great network that will never be equaled.

Sounds like a great network. I got commercials for it on one tape and it seems like it would have a lot of shows I would like.

I remember Ha! It was the forefather to Comedy Central.

I remember Ha! (or maybe it was the Comedy Channel) launched their network with the Love, American Style episode that was the pilot for Happy Days. TV Land did the same thing. Too bad Ha! didn't last long before it merged with the Comedy Channel and became Comedy Central.
