What TVLAND needs to do is quit playing those marathons of the same old shows. They have a lot of great shows to choose from, but the way they schedule things, I'm surprised they have good ratings.

I agree, especially when htey have 3 different marathons a day. I mean, 10-12, and 12-2, that is just unreasonable. Why would you put 2 different marathons there when you can just program the same shows in a daily slot-it makes no sense. The overnite marathons, those are more reasonable, but even those could be replaced with shows that already have bad treatment on TVLand, like I Love Lucy, Mister Ed, Green Acres, Wings, Night Court, Murphy Brown, etc.

Also TVLtheLink has informed me that Murphy Brown has been doing even worse on TV Land than it does on Nick at Nite, and it's Saturdy Marathon will probably be replaced in January. In my opinion, that is no fair because the Saturday night marathon is almost never show, because of the weekend marathons. NO wonder it has bad ratings.
