April is alsways a really bad month for this network, because Funniest Mom is going to be airing every night, whether it is at 11:00, 2:00, or 9:00, there is always going to be an airing of it sometime on someday. TV Land does the same thing. They air a new episode of an orginal series, and then air it 10 more times that week, and it really bothers me. So even though Full House is on for an hour, it won't be airing that much because of FM 3.

I still wish Growing Pains was back on 9:30, or even just on weekends at 10:30 or something.

About Kim Coles

When Hollywood first met actress, comedienne, and playwright Kim Coles, she was well on her way to becoming one of the funniest and most creative talents in the business. From her starring role as "Synclaire" on the long- running FOX sitcom Living Single, to her co-starring role in The Geena Davis Show, Coles has always been a true source of humor for television audiences. Coles has also found success in the current reality trend - on ABC's The Mole, VH1's Celebrity Fit Club, and BET's Coming to the Stage.

When not sharing her thoughts from her hilarious book "I'm Free, But It'll Cost You," Coles is performing on comedy club stages across the country night after night. Coles also demonstrated her skills as a co-host of the hit morning program Fox After Breakfast, and as host of Lifetime's lifestyle magazine New Attitudes. She even graces the NY runways from time to time and appears in the latest print campaign for Ashley Stewart.

Coles is no stranger to the challenging world of live theatre. She co- wrote and starred in her one-woman stage show Homework. The show premiered to raving audiences in Los Angeles and then outshined its first run by going Off- Broadway. The play is a funny and heartfelt look into the lives of three best friends, all played by Coles, who progress from elementary school to womanhood.

About Hal Sparks

Actor/comedian Hal Sparks began his professional career as a teenager in Chicago. As a member of the famed Second City Troupe, his quick wit and affable personality quickly gained him recognition and acclaim. After a successful run with Second City, Sparks moved to Los Angeles and immediately began performing at numerous comedy clubs, including The Improv, The Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory and The Ice House, as well as at Comic Relief's American Comedy Festival.

From 1999-2000, Sparks was the host of the Emmy-award winning Talk Soup on E! Entertainment Television, winning rave reviews from fans and critics alike. For five seasons, Sparks co-starred as "Michael" on the hit Showtime series Queer As Folk, based on the controversial and critically acclaimed British series. In 2006, Sparks appeared on the FOX musical competition series Celebrity Duets and is also one of the stars of the VH-1 hit pop culture series I Love The 90's, I Love The 80's, The 80's Strike Back and I Love The 70's. He also co-starred in the Showtime Original feature Bleacher Bums, adapted from the critically acclaimed play of the same name.

Sparks has appeared in the box office hit Spiderman 2 as well as Dude, Where's My Car? and Dickie Roberts, Former Child Star. On the stage, Sparks has performed in such productions as The Glass Menagerie and Brighton Beach Memoirs.

Pathetic, Tv Wasteland continues to be an insult to my intelligence.

[TVJunkie101]

Wow. I've never watched but I might just to see Roseanne, Kim Coles and Hal Sparks.

[JulieSomoski]

I see a very small change in the schedule. It looks like this Thursday, April 12will be an airing of Designing Women at 5:30, replacing Full House, on Wednesday, April 18, at 5:30, and on Wednesday, April 25, at 5:30.

Also, ON Saturday, April 14, will be an airing of Murphy Brown at 5:30, replacing Full House, on Saturday, April 21, at 5:30, and on Saturday, April 28 at 5:30.

So, it looks like Designing Women is now on Thursdays, and Murphy Brown is now on Saturdays. Since Nick at Nite has now strictly went Family Friendly Sitcoms, it is odd seeing thse two shows return. It is nice, and I will definitely enjoy watching them.

[Pavan]

Change for this weekend:

Saturday, April 7
10:00PM-1:00AM Roseanne
1:00AM-4:00AM Fresh Prince
4:00AM-6:00AM Roseanne

Sunday, April 8
10:00PM-1:00AM Roseanne
1:00AM-4:00AM Fresh Prince
4:00AM-6:00AM Roseanne


Schedule change starting April 12:

Thursday nights (early Friday mornings)
5:30AM Designing Women (replaces Full House)

Saturday nights (early Sunday mornings)
5:30AM Murphy Brown (replaces Full House)

More Nick @ Nite changes when does AFV the Bob Saget versions begin?

[Pavan]

As of now, AFV starts April 30 at 8:30.

[JulieSomoski]

I really don't understand the need for these changes. I mean, a night of Roseanne and Fresh Prince is nothing new, but it is getting old quickly. I enjoy watching both of these shows, but I also enjoy watching Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, Murphy Brown, and all the others that air once in a blue moon.

[Kristen]

If Murphy Brown is replacing Full House on Saturday nights/early Sunday, how come Full House is listed for April 22? I'm confused, lol.

[JulieSomoski]

April 22 is a Sunday. Murphy should be listed under the Saturday, April 21 schedule.

[Kristen]

On Yahoo TV, they show it as Sunday morning. And Full House is listed.

[Pavan]

Listings can't keep up with Nick at Nite I'm sure. Visit nickatnite.com/schedule
