Wonder why TV ONE never picked up the Jeffersons since 2004 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 11-24-2007, 09:36 PM

I really hope it's not because it's not ALL BLACK like Good Times and 227 and ROC. Because that would be just plain stupid. Really wish the Jeffersons was on TV one since Good Times is shown UNCUT and that would mean fans could see uncut eps of season 7 to 11 while waiting for them to come out on DVD?

Maybe TVLand has a specific contract to be the only channel to air the show.

Seems like the network don't air any black shows with white people as supporting characters

Jeffersons
Sanford and Son
Diffrent Strokes

They air NY undercover and there is that one actor who isn't black.
Wanda at Large also airs, isn't there some non-blacks on that show?

Do you know how long TVOne has been on the air?

January of 2004 and you mean to tell me that in 4 years they couldn't acquire the Jefferson?-lol And I don't buy thay TV land contract mess because Good Times is being aired on both networks

Ireneparalegal · 11-24-2007, 10:49 PM

I just made that comment abt the contract. Aren't there times when a specific network or channel that airs shows in syndication gets exclusive rights to air them and no one else can? Isn't that how it is sometimes?

I haven't a clue abt the whole "acquiring shows for syndication" thing.

GT is getting way too much exposure like FP

Ireneparalegal · 11-24-2007, 11:00 PM

Well GT doesn't get as much exposure on TVLand, they chop, dice and slice that show but good.

Imagine if ION aired Good Times...

I'm just sick of it, GT has been on cable for 5 years and it all started with TBS in 2002, then TV one in 2004 and TV land in 2005 and still on.

Jeffersons has only been on TV Land in 2002 then notjhing for 3 years and then a reappearance in 2005 on TV land.

You're sick of it??? But why are you watching it today then?

Because how often do we get to see a James Evans marathon?-lol So I had to watch that, usually when it's a GT marathon it's eps mixed in from all seasons

Ireneparalegal · 11-24-2007, 11:15 PM

You're too much.

The Jeffersons also airs on ME-TV, a Chicagoland TVLAND, but better.

Scoobiedoo30 · 12-12-2007, 12:43 PM

maybe one day The Jeffersons will come to TV One

GSU2004 · 12-24-2007, 05:35 AM

I'm tired of Good Times also. It seems like TVLand and TVOne constantly air it. I was hoping after the launch marathon of the Jeffersons during Labor Day week 2006, we would have constant airings of it. I really want to see the last season and see what was so bad about it.
