Does anyone know why Baretta is no longer on TV Land? It was on midnight every weekday.

Good taste prevailed. They also wanted to avoid the possible tampering of a potential jury pool (if it gets to that point).

In the infamous words of Baretta himself, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time"

Baretta will be back, this week Barney Miller/Hogan's Heroes is airing because of The Love Boat Marathon.
Baretta returns Tuesday June 19th at 3AM/ET, and it will air Tues-Sat at 3AM/ET.

I'm so glad that everyone that gave a answer to my question was wrong, and Baretta is back on the air! I guess they were all guilty of jumping the gun if you will.

Just going on current info

I'm just wondering where all this info came from? With all the quick replies I thought that TV Land had posted it had made the change for the sake of "good taste" or "tampering with a jury pool". Or was the info really gossip?

Then again, he got away with murder, just like OJ Simpson.
