I found myself not getting into the marathon on Fridays because of not being able to - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

follow the show from season 1 to season 7 every Night. The show was taken away from the Normal Viewing Slot and I just can't get into the marathon. The fact that I didn't record the Marathon weeks ago and that they are showing the last 2 seasons makes it hard for me to watch. So unless a local TV station in Philadelphia picks up the Show, I really have no interest in watching anymore.-LOL It's all TV LAND fault

Well, the show is closing in on the last episodes very soon, so I'm assuming they will start back with the pilot episode when they have finished running through the whole series...

And yes, TV Land did not do "Benson" any justice by quicking yanking it from the 11pm time slot. Good thing they're not running a baseball team--if they were you'd have to bat .1000 for two weeks straight or be sent down to the minors!

I would really love for Benson to follow the Jeffersons or air before the Jeffersons. But That's not how they think at TV LAND

And once those Friday night movies start up again next month, there wont even be a Benson marathon on Fridays.

They'll probably air 2 episodes (3 if we're lucky) of Benson after the repeat of the Friday night movie, but that's it.

What??!! You mean to tell me they are going to be showing movies again on Friday nights?? Oh dear Lord help me. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was complaining about those damn movies. I can't believe they'd have the audacity to do that again!

I haven't watched Benson in a long time because of the way TV Land treated it. It's like you needed a map to find it.

The Screen Gems Network (in its limited time of existence) did exactly that---Benson and The Jeffersons back to back.
