I have mixed feelings about this schedule, but in a huge way it's a step up from September, so I have to applaud TV Land! In a huge change of pace, their 2 top shows, Andy Griffith and MASH, are out of primetime - I never thought I'd see that happen! And to think, it's the more current shows like Cosby, Scrubs, and 3rd Rock that pushed them out!

I'm an avid fan of EM:HE, but 2 episodes a night is too much - 1 episode is enough, especially since it's an hour long. I think we'll be seeing an episode cut soon. And I'm thrilled that Mad About You, Murphy Brown, and Designing Women are back - granted, it's at 4am, but I guess that's what DVR's are for-LOL

And Myths and Legends is by far their best reality show and the only one I have watched to date, if the episodes are good.

[icecream]

way too much Home Edition

[Pavan]

7pm Home Edition is an encore from the previous night's 11pm episode, so they are maxing their plays for it...getting their money's worth by encoring it. Remember encores within 24 hours are free plays.

Mondays 11am encores at 7pm, so that takes care of that. Weekend two-hour episodes premiere 8-10am then encore Saturday 8-10pm and Sunday 6-8pm.

Still, it's one way too much. it would have been better to encore it at like 5am instead.

[Pavan]

I bet 3rd Rock will not last 10-11pm and M*A*S*H will return within weeks, leaving 3rd Rock just 8:30am. Scrubs they will not have a short leash with, like 3rd Rock. They will make that work no matter what.

I don't think they'd abandon 3rd Rock that fast - I think if it doesn't work at 10pm, they'll move it to like midnight or something. Scrubs I'm not too sure on. It may be the George Lopez of TV Land - a surprise hit.

[Pavan]

3rd Rock was a cheap buy like Just Shoot Me, from the Program Exchange.

[USATVFAN]

No More Three's Company? is it doing well?

[Scoobiedoo30]

I am sorry to see Three's Company going on another Hiatus

[JulieSomoski]

Forgot to mention Three's Company - it had another short run before going away again. I wish they'd give this show a decent slot again - it always did well for them in the past, I wonder why they could care less about it now. They renewed it just a year ago and barely used the plays.

You are right. It one of the best show of all time and I remember when TV Land started showing Three's Company it was one of their Top Rated shows and now i am not sure and they just Renewed it and I think puttting it at 2:00Am is not giving it a chance But aleast I have all the Seasons on DVD but i would like to know that a show I like and a great TV Classic was being aired so new Viewers can Discover it.

I think if they gave it a chance in primetime, it would do well. Maybe if 3rd Rock or Scrubs bombs, they can put in Three's Company as the replacement. It's very unlikely, and they'll probably use MASH instead, but it would still be nice to see TC where it belongs.

I honestly can't remember the last time TC aired in primetime - it had to be many years ago.

[Pavan]

Three's Company was never slated to be more than August/September. It was added last minute in August. Originally it was only slated to air three times in September on Thursday late nights.

[Chelsea]

Good to see Murphy Brown back, and good to see that they're still running Night Court.
