Does Anyone Else Think There Are Plenty Of Other Shows That Should To Be On TV LAND? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JamesG · 06-30-2008, 09:16 PM

I don't know if it is just me but TV LAND sucks now. They seem to be catering to the reality show crowd now and it's idiotic. There are plenty of other older shows out there that should be aired:

Charlie's Angels
The Untouchables
Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman
Highway to Heaven
Kung Fu and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues
Family
The Streets of San Franciso

I think the whole tvland stinks topic has been done to death.

BarneyFife · 06-30-2008, 09:26 PM

Well I agree with you Irene, but I do find myself watching less and less of TV Land these days. I think they need to change their name to Reality Land, because thats about all they wanna show anymore.

TeeVeeCloset · 06-30-2008, 09:49 PM

I agree it's over, TV Land doesn't even deserve wish lists anymore, it's like asking MTV & VH-1 to go back and play music videos 24 hours a day...its a Viacom owned network and if they have a business model at all, it is to stray from the their original premises for their networks without having the guts to change their name because if it is one thing their good at is branding name recognition but not formats. What I will never understand is the missed opportunities for other networks to start a 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and even 90's classic TV channels, this would be perfect for the Encore Group, they practically do it with their westerns channel, they run rifleman, big valley, etc. and speaking of missed opportunities....where is a talk show channel?, running classics like Mike Douglas, Merv, Dinah, Johnny, Letterman, Davidson, etc.

my favorite martian
night court
Greatest american hero
the wonder years

I'll just quote myself..........sigh.........lol....besides I'm too busy at night losing sleep about Rachael Ray maybe being cancelled....someone laugh and understand my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek....Irene or you out there????

PrettyinPink55 · 06-30-2008, 10:57 PM

It's not even a home for classic TV anymore...

The gems that they do have like I Love Lucy and The Jeffersons and the Brady Bunch, etc. all air at odd times...I mean come on, The Brady Bunch at 4:30 a.m.??? And the stuff that does air in primetime is like that stupid knockoff of Top Model- She's Got the Look (Sorry if anyone is a fan)! I am sure the show's great, I just don't think that's a network that should be airing it. What about WE or Oxygen??
Nonetheless, TV Land and N@N are not what they used to be AT ALL!!!

TVFactFan · 06-30-2008, 11:48 PM

I will give TV land credit for allowing me to see the pilot of Gomer Pyle but other than that the network has been A$$ this year

Mr. Television · 06-30-2008, 11:52 PM

They can take TV Land off my cable for all I care. Imagine at one time I was begging my cable company to add this network.

Jude The Obscure · 07-01-2008, 03:50 PM

I think The TV Land Sucks should have its own board

MrBand · 07-01-2008, 08:26 PM

Years ago, TV Land had Adam West film a series of promos in which he said as a tag, "TV Land...because life's too short to watch cr**."

Seems like that line's caught up to them.
