Yeah, whatever happened to giving Knight Rider a chance? They only had it on for 11 days so far, and already they've decided to get rid of it next month? Reminds me of Nick at Nite. But apart from that, it looks like a good schedule.

[Ireneparalegal]

I hate the retrospective episodes of Little House on the Prairie. uke: Why not just a marathon of regular episodes?

[TJL]

Good choice of M*A*S*H episodes for a marathon. The "mail" themed episodes were always very well done.

[MikeLutton]

yeahthis pisses me off glad i got whole collection on dvd but i like having something wake up2 n watch with my family im sick of good times n green acers this makes me sick same shows all the time glad littel house finally gone for now

[samanddiane4eva]

Definitely liking that Cheers will be on twice a day Mon-Fri except on Monday. I just wish they'd stop airing so much Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

[benjamoon]

That is a TON of sitcoms - yay!

And what is with the "I Love Lucy" overload? I'm certainly not complaining but it looked like that show was thrown to the wolves awhile back and now has an EVENING slot? Awesome!

[Scoobiedoo30]

I am glad that TV Land is airing Cheers at 3:00 pm Central Time and All in The Family at 3:30 pm Central Time

I agree...and Sanford and Son. At least Three's Company isn't on much anymore.

It'll be interesting to see if this exact schedule happens. I'm skeptical about how DW will do....it's not on much, but if it doesn't do that great I wonder if they'll go through with that prime time marathon.
