Predictions for WGN - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

DSfan · 10-05-2008, 05:25 PM

I was thinking today about what other retro sitcoms WGN will add in the future. Here is my list and tell me what you guys think:

-Taxi
-Laverne & Shirley
-Gilligan's Island
-Perfect Strangers
-Three's Company
-Mork & Mindy
-I Love Lucy
-Diff'rent Strokes
-Family Ties
-Growing Pains
-Wonder Years
-Mary Tyler Moore

I'm not saying they will get all of those but I'm feeling sitcoms in that sort of category. I think they will forsure add Family Ties and the others, in my opinion, all have a pretty good chance.

I think Family Ties is really possible. I'd love to see them bring back Empty Nest or Facts of Life.

sadly, my realistic prediction for WGN is that they will discover MASH and get rid of all the shows that aren't completed on DVD since quality is nothing compared to quantity

I was actually fearful at first myself when they picked up some of these shows. Especially Newhart since they're airing it only twice a week, and the first season isn't as popular as the rest. I was thinking they might pull it after about a month, but they seem more committed to airing series than others. Now they're well into season 2.

Them having yet another WKRP marathon a couple weeks ago and having a second ALF mini-marathon last week, then adding that to the schedule and expanding their retro night on Sundays shows they're willing to try airing something else besides the same frequently repeated shows on other networks.
