That stinks.

I am hoping that TV Land is just putting Benson on Hiatus but this does Stinks

I would think they will just kick them back to the following Friday (not the 8th but maybe the 15th).

Pavan · 11-30-2006, 04:08 PM

Benson is off the lineup, BensonFan. It will not air anymore Tuesday afternoons or Friday late nights. This will take in effect Dec. 4. No more mini-marathons for any show. Regular time periods are now back. See the link above and then click on the full schedule details link in the story.

BensonFan · 11-30-2006, 04:18 PM

Well hopefully it's just a hiatus. They are supposed to have the show under contract until 2008.

Believe me, I understand your frustration. I only need 10 episodes. They are:

#66 "The Party's Over"
#67 "The Lumber Mill
#69 "Death in a Funny Position" (1)
#70 "Death in a Funny Position" (2)
#71 "What a Revoltin' Development"
#74 "Teacher's Pest"
#83 "The Royal Painting"
#84 "Boys Night Out"
#121 "Double Date"
#155 "Hi, Society"

I was really hoping to get all of them before TV Land yanked the rug from under my feet but I kept having this bad feeling it wouldn't happen. It would have been nice if they had at least waited until the New Year to make any major changes.

Depressing. At this point, I'd be happy with one episode a week, as long as they kept them in order. But, nope, not even one.

:-(

I am sure Bemson will Return to the TV Land Line up but I think TV Land Should put Benson in a Prime Time Time Slot

GSU2004 · 12-04-2006, 03:02 AM

Hopefully Benson will be brought back and given a decent timeslot to be able to attract and maintain an audience. TVLand is really doing overkill on the 1970's sitcoms. They tired us out on Good Times, Whats Happening and Sanford and Son. All shows that are entirely on DVD now.

True. I also have a hard time believing any or all of those shows were greeted by the viewing audience with open arms initially. I think they had to warm up to them over time.

That really does suck taking off Benson like that.I have been taping the shows but there are a lot of episodes I missed.What TV land is doing is really,really sad,I hope they listen to the fans and put the show back on soon.

y2k3Joker · 12-05-2006, 01:24 PM

Don't tell me that's it for Benson ???

I just found out today when I went to get 2 episodes I needed and they were showing Brady Bunch

Is it over for Friday nights as well??

Scoobiedoo30 · 12-05-2006, 01:30 PM

I am sad to say that Benson is off of The TV Land Schedule for now but I am hoping it Returns soon
