TV Land Boycott! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hughsgirl · 04-01-2009, 09:48 AM

I wanted to bring to everyone's attention that I think we should do a TV Land Boycott UNTIL we get LITB on a regular schedule!! They are showing all Andy Griffith and that dumb High School Reunion show and not enough of LITB! As a big fan of this show, I have had enough of their BS with dragging their feet on bringing out the next season on DVD and now TV Land won't respect it enough to show at least one episode a night but they don't mind doing blocks galore of Andy Griffith!

LESS OF MAYBERRY....MORE OF MAYFIELD!!

I haven't watched TVLand in years. I don't know what they have on there.

Only problem here is that TVLand takes out anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes of the original episodes to make way for more commercials. I dont think TVLand cared about how they once were anymore. Sad but true.

Exactly! You can't get the plot of the show anymore because they have edited out so much. I haven't watched in years either and don't plan to. There are other cable channels showing good classic shows so I stopped with TV Land completely. If others would do the same, maybe the programming would get better, maybe not.

TV Land is often (very often) a big disapointment. I'll take my store bought DVDs anyday so I can see what I want when I want!

Well stated! I feel the same way. I'm glad I have the dvds.

I don't care much for TVLand anymore. We have a new channel here in AZ call Retro Network and it shows LITB and Adam-12, Dragnet, Magnum P.I. and others.

But sadly you can't say the same for LITB seasons 3-6.

Not sure why your mad at TV Land for the LITB DVDs, they have nothing to do with it. For TV Land, you should be more upset that the episodes are being chopped up- I hadn't watched LITB in awhile then when I decided to watch the episode where Beaver gets pigeons- but seeing a whole scene left out I stopped watching.

Hughsgirl I agree with you 100%. I have been complaining about this at home for the longest time. They always air Andy Griffith when the entire series is on dvd. LITB does not even have a certain time slot. You catch it when you catch it. I loved it when they aired it Mon-Fri at 5:00 and 5:30. Two sets of dvd's only goes so far.

MickeyMac · 04-02-2009, 07:40 PM

I for one would love to see TVLand return to the way they once were, and show classic undedited episodes, but it seems their bad reality shows have an audience, so they will probably continue on this tread.

TVFactFan · 04-02-2009, 08:29 PM

That's always been the crazy thing about TV LAND, they air tv shows that are already complete on DVD like

Sanford and Son, Andy Griffith, and Good Times. What about creating room for shows on the schedule that is not on DVD?

gidgetgrape · 04-02-2009, 09:26 PM

I feel like I'm already boycotting TVLand because I hardly ever watch it anymore. I LOVE LITB and would like to see it (and other b&w shows) on regularly.

I know TV Land has nothing to do with the releases of DVD's, I just happened to bring that out in my post. I have also e-mailed Universal and any DVD company I can think of about getting an answer for a release to no avail and it's frustrating as hell. I also hate the chopped up episodes, but I will take that over nothing until they decide to bring out the remaining seasons if that ever happens.
