It's great that Desperate Housewives is coming to weekdays, but I'd rather it switch places with Wife Swap.

Pavan · 07-30-2008, 03:41 PM

Desperate Housewives can only air one episode a day, though. The 8am airings are encores of the previous noon airings.

What is the deal with Still Standing and Reba? Who wants to watch two shows with short original runs go through cycles 20 times a year?

Umm...Reba was on for 6 seasons. That's considered a good run. Still Standing however, only had 4 seasons. Both shows bring in the ratings for the network or they wouldn't air them back to back and then back to back again. Although, being a Reba fan, I can honestly say I never watch the 6pm airings. I do watch the 8pm airings 3-4 times a week though.

JulieSomoski · 08-01-2008, 05:48 PM

I do agree, Still Standing and Reba both need some of their airings cut. Both air twice in 4 hours - and it's in good slots, too, which is way too much. I wish they could give Frasier a nice evening slot - it deserves better than morning and latenight.

thetornado · 08-01-2008, 06:19 PM

Isn't The Nanny coming to either Nick @ Nite or TV Land Fall 2009 still?

JulieSomoski · 08-01-2008, 08:07 PM

I believe it's coming to TV Land sometime in the future - it was supposed to come to NAN, but I don't think that's happening anymore.

JT · 08-01-2008, 08:25 PM

Eh. They should drop "Wife Swap," and an hour each of "Reba" and "Still Standing" and make that more movie time.

icecream · 08-01-2008, 11:08 PM

They air tons of movies on weekends. Four movies every weekday would be overkill.

Pavan · 08-01-2008, 11:34 PM

The Nanny is listed to come to Nick at Nite in April 2009, and TV Land in 2010.

So are The Nanny and Everybody Hates Chris the only 2 coming in 2009 to N@N as far as you know?

I would love Reba and Fraiser one after the other. Still Standing needs to go, lol.

Pavan · 08-01-2008, 11:55 PM

Well, The Nanny might not be even used on NAN until its TV Land premiere. If it is, I bet NAN stuffs it to late night. As far as other reruns, that is all that is announced as of now, but they do have the animated sitcom coming in summer 2009.
