I find it hard to believe that Drew Carey will do better than M*A*S*H. Oh well, it's not going anywhere on Hallmark. And way too many movies, this isn't TCM

[Scoobiedoo30]

will M*A*S*H still air on Saturday's at 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm CT Time.

[Pavan]

I listed MASH as airing on Sat-Sun above, didn't I? The blog story is coming in an hour. Please read it.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Do you think we could see other Sitrcoms like Growing Pains Mama's Family Alice Returning anytime Soon.

[Pavan]

No, they are too old for ION now.

[Scoobiedoo30]

do you think we will ever see Alice and Mama's Family Again

[icecream]

The main page of SO doesn't have the last month's blogs right now. It says news service expired.

[Pavan]

Can you view them on the blog archives on the blog itself?

Here is today's blog: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/20...2009-sees.html

[Scoobiedoo30]

I got the blog story

[clj2]

Dang. Of all shows to add, Drew Carey? Wish it was one that hasn't aired in the last year.

Maybe I'm not getting it, but how can Mama, Growing Pains, etc be too old but not M*A*S*H, which is even older?

[Pavan]

Well, M*A*S*H has been downgraded.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Was it because of Ratings M*A*S*H Got Down Graded

[Tubehead]

I'm glad quatam leap is coming back it my all time favorite show. it sham that hanging with mr cooper is gone. i'm glade i taped them on dvd when i did. i never watched drew carry show. so i might check it out.

[Jude The Obscure]

So hmmmmmm......I guess this means M*A*S*H sorta bombed for ION Daytime--really this show is overexposed. Surprising to see Quantum Leap rejoin the lineup--thought ION was not going to bring that back. They still need to expand their daytime hours. January should have brought yet another hour to add....I can't believe they are still depending on informercials this long.
