What's the deal with Make My Day? Was it production issues, or just ratings? It seems to me if it did well initially it would have aired then and they wouldn't be airing 2 new episodes a week. The whole show just looks awful.

[Pavan]

Make My Day is no longer going to air Wednesday at 10pm for a few weeks starting Dec. 2. Now it will air week of Dec. 21 at 10pm instead.

Also, the Merry-thon schedule has changed a bit and episodes of Married...with Children and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition have been added.

See first post for the full info.

[Brent88]

Make My Day must really suck to be buried during Christmas week. Ouch.

YAY for more MWC!

[Brent88]

The January schedule is posted on tvland.com's schedule updates board. Quite interesting.

It's a little confusing in the evening/prime time, but not really surprising.

3rd Rock is gone, no surprise... Wonder why they don't give it a late night (1am-3am) slot or evening slot at least, as a lead in/out of PRIME?

[JulieSomoski]

So Home Improvement is finally coming over - I guess it was just a matter of time. Thankfully, Roseanne has managed to last on the schedule, and now they have Married with Children as well. Still, the schedule is very confusing to read. And I hate how they still have these nightly mini-marathons. Why can't they just go to a nightly schedule, say HI at 8pm, Roseanne at 9pm, and MWC at 10pm?

And why in the world are they repeating HSR on Wednesdays? Seriously, those episodes have aired more than 20 times already.

What is HSR? I looked over the schedule 4 times and couldn't find it. Perhaps I keep missing it!

High School Reunion. They're airing the first episode alone about 10 times in 1 week. It's crazy. The entire schedule is just one jumbled mess, imo.

[Brent88]

Yeah, the HSR junk is so stupid. I also noticed they actually have special episodes of MWC that "flow" with it on Wednesdays at 9 before it. Give me a break.

I'm not really surprised by much else. Other than HI coming and HSR returning there isn't much change from the current schedule(I know, shocking). LOL

[clj2]

They are smart in just bumping Andy Griffith back an hour and not removing it from the schedule like this past summer. Though it isn't prime-time material for them anymore, it still does very well.

Remember, this is TV Land, so who knows if that will come to fruition, lol...

[tvparadise]

Another headache in primetime. HI and MWC aren't scheduled as much as I thought they would be. I guess they want to "ease" in with Home Improvement?

I think it would work better if they just did
8pm - 10pm- Home Improvement
10pm - 12am- Married...with Children
12am - 2am- Roseanne

That way viewers don't have to think so much about what's on TV Land each night. It's just too complicated...seems like a difficult way to get viewers.


On another note, I went to the official TV Land Facebook page and it looks like the TV Land employee running that page has leaked that "Bewitched" will be rejoining the TV Land line-up in 2010.

The post about 10 mouth-watering Thanksgiving episodes has comments from fans complaining about the lack of classics. Some of them start to make show requests.

Marilyn writes: Bewitched!
then "TV Land" writes about how they have a lot of shows from every decade and then says....
@Marilyn: Bewitched is coming in 2010!

So I guess this is the 60s classic we've been waiting for? Pretty disappointing...Nothing against "Bewitched", but it airs on WGN and it's not been gone from TV Land for that many years. I would guess "I Dream of Jeannie" will be the other 60s show joining. They seem to usually come together.

I agree, primetime is still a disorganized mess. I noticed off the clock is not going away either(as originally planned) which to me makes things worse.

[Pavan]

Well Bewitched is coming back to Program Exchange in 2010, so that would explain TV Land getting it. Very cheap.

[clj2]

I wonder if Bewitched will leave WGN? Jeannie will probably be the other one, I agree.

Any other shows coming to the Program Exchange next year? I bet TV Land will definitely let some classics go next year. I think Brady Bunch and Good Times are goners.
