The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Please Don't Eat the Daisies and Gilligan's Island can all be seen on a newer cable network, Turner South. Currently it is only available in a few southern states. However, Direct TV could possibly pick it up in the future.

Does anybody know why TBS and TNT are airing GI if its on N@N?

Ted Turner probably holds special rights because he colorized the first season's original black & white episodes.

Which by the way look the best in black and white. The colorized version looks terrible.

The original black and white episodes where seen on Nick at Nite only during the Block Party Summer.

Will Nick show the Black & White episodes again?

I remember seeing some BW eps of GI on N@N. They aired some during the 'Block Party Summer' block.

It's a great network. I'm glad to have it. It actually has been around since last October. They've also aired Mayberry R.F.D. weeknights. I don't know if it's still on the schedule though.
