Someday space travelers will visit another planet. And when they reach that
planet, they will find beings who have been monitoring our television signals.
And they will find a replica of the Ponderosa ranch and the Long Branch Saloon!

First, some of us enjoy Bonanza and Gunsmoke. Second, please learn to type correctly.

Well...actually..."Bonanza" and "Gunsmoke" are huge ratings winners for TVLand...yet "MacGyver" and "Hunter" (two "cool awesome 80s adventure shows") are pretty much gone from the network entirely (I think McG airs sometimes, but I don't keep up with TVLand's schedule like I used to).

Personally, I have no problem with the westerns, as long as they are aired a reasonable amount of time. They both ran for a very very long time (Bonanza: 1959-1973; Gunsmoke: 1955-1975, but I think TVLand only has rights to the 1966-1975 episodes) so I would say an episode a day for weekdays with one three-hour marathon for each show on the weekend to help speed the run along. That'd be 8 episodes a week and it'd take a wee bit over a year to complete the entire run of "Bonanza" and several months to get through all of the episodes from the last nine years of "Gunsmoke."

TVLand does nee diversity with their dramas, I do have to admit. "Star Trek," while not one of my favorite shows, definitely helps. There's two westerns, one family drama, and now one science fiction drama. Of course, I'd like to see something soapy on the schedule (come on TVLand...Knots Landing, Dynasty, and Falcon Crest have all been jilted by SOAPnet now...any ONE of them would be GREAT), but I'd also love to see a medical drama and maybe a crime drama. This would be a great daytime schedule (TVLand should *always* build its daytime schedule on hour-long dramas, IMO) for me:

11am: "Gunsmoke" (a timeslot it held for years)
12pm: "Bonanza"
1pm: "Hart to Hart" or "Kojak" or "Ironside" or "Quincy ME" etc
2pm: "Marcus Welby MD" or "Medical Center" or "Emergency!" etc
3pm: "Knots Landing" or "Dynasty" or "Falcon Crest" etc
~~~
6pm: "Little House on the Prairie"
7pm: "Star Trek"

LHOTP and ST could get repeat airings during the late night (4am and 5am would be ideal). On the weekends, "Bonanza" and "Gunsmoke" could have a six-hour "Goes West" marathon, with three episodes of each show on the Saturday and the regular schedule would resume on the Sunday.

I pretty much agree with your list. Of course, Lucy, Beaver, Little House, and the Brady Bunch are already on TVLand.

I like Gunsmoke and Bonanza but, I still would like to see more of the Chester episodes of Gunsmoke. The only ones I have seen are the ones on the DVD. Lucky for us Voulme 3 comes out soon.

treky · 09-23-2006, 10:04 PM

that's because TV LAND only has the rights to the color episodes.

I agree with you, though. I'd also like to see the ones with Chester, also the half-hour episodes.
