Does/Did anyone watch TV Land? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PattiB · 05-28-2008, 01:34 AM

At one time TVL and Nic@Nite were such great networks to watch the old classic sitcoms on.
They went in a new direction and are getting rid of all those shows as the contracts expire.

I sure do miss seeing shows such as Hazel, Donna Reed, My Three Sons and so many more.

Anyway, They have a message board for request/comments and lots of forums for the old classics. I found it a long time ago after I contacted TVL about going back to some of the classics.
I was told if I didn't like the new shows maybe it wasn't the network for my family any longer. They made it clear that they had no intention of bringing back those shows.

So I made it a point to let people know on their message board. I didn't cuss or anything but they banned me.

I've never been banned from anything.

I just felt bad that people continued to beg for shows they didn't have a Prayer of seeing on TVL again. I feel like they are keeping them dangling to keep the posting up.

I got a message saying I was banned because I said I didn't watch TVL anymore and it wasn't my place to tell people that TVL wouldn't be bringing those shows back. They said I was trying to get people to stop posting.
I was honestly just trying to let people know the shows wouldn't be back.

TV Land sucks. You're better off without them. I wouldn't worry about getting banned from over there. They just aren't worth it.

Glad you found SO! This really is the best place to chat about anything! Hope you enjoy it here

treky · 05-28-2008, 03:51 AM

yea, Patti B, I agree. Don't worry about being banned from the TV LAND boards. Like MANY, MANY, MANY people have said in this thread and other, TV LAND sucks!! They've "jumped the shark" so many times, it's not funny! (and I can't believe they're showing reruns of "EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION" when original episodes are still running on ABC)
And the latest is what they've done to the show endings-they shrink the credits down to the very bottom of the screen, speed them by like they're being shot from a gattling gun, and don't even show the closing any more!

TV Land is a waste of airspace. I gave up along time ago and N@N has been a lost cause for eons. I used to be such an avid viewer of both. Thank God for tv shows on dvd

The only thing I watch on TVLand these days is The Beverly Hillbillies because my mom likes to listen to them from her room. But she complains about how the episodes are "cut up" and the ending is cut off. All they ever advertise is their newest reality show, which at the moment is "She's Got The Look". It's really annoying at this point.

I don't watch TVLand anymore it's a waste of my time.

I tune in for the occasional "I Love Lucy," "The Beverly Hillbillies," or "Designing Women." Honestly, it's not uncommon for me to be channel surfing and stop on TVLand if they have something good on. That's usually in the middle of the night or in the morning (like now). But from about noon until midnight, I'm usually not watching. It's either movies, wall-to-wall "M*A*S*H," or some of their original ****.

What I hate is how they believe the audience is ********. They advertsie "She's Got the Look" all throughout each program, yet they also have an advertisement that stays on the screen underneath the bug. We get the fricken idea! That crap is going to take over the network on June 4! We know!

So how did you come across SitcomsOnline? And you should already be able to tell that this site is much better than the TV land boards

PattiB · 05-28-2008, 12:26 PM

I was doing a google search the other day for classic TV shows and ended up here.
