Memo to CBS Paramount - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dynomite · 03-10-2007, 06:31 PM

We're frustrated because TV Land has taken off some of our favorite classic sitcoms, including The Brady Bunch, Cheers, Happy Days and Wings. Now, since CBS Studios, Paramount's parent company in television, owns all four I've just listed, should we consider lobbying for re-syndicated reruns? I don't know what the deal is, but if no other cable network is going to air these classic sitcoms, I think it would only make sense for all four to be re-syndicated in reruns. I'm sure there are other classic TV shows CBS Paramount is responsible for that we would like to see again. Please post your thoughts.

I believe TVL has The Brady Bunch until 2010, Cheers and Wings until 2008, and lost Happy Days last year. After Wings and Cheers expire next year, maybe one of the other networks will acquire them.
