Nick At Nite 1989 VS Nick @Nite 2009 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dakert · 11-20-2009, 11:46 PM

I vote for the 80s Nick At Nite as they didnt have to ask viewers what to air. THEY Knew What To Air and they didnt have to have a viwers poll, which means diddley squat anyways

Me too!!!

benjamoon · 11-21-2009, 01:12 PM

obviously it was 1989

and regardless of the actual shows that were airing in either year, what made N@N special back then and all through the 1990s was how intentional they were about what they were airing from creative and unique programming specials (the many marathons, Block Party Summers, Classic TV Countdowns, etc) to the commercials and bumpers they had back then. Now they aren't so creative nor do they show the type of devotion to what they're doing

If you are going to compare 89 to 09 it would be better the post the n@N schedule for 89 so we would know why u feel the way you do

This was the schedule in Fall 1989 (eastern time)
8:00 Bewitched
8:30 Mister Ed
9:00 Patty Duke Show
9:30 Car 54, Where Are You?
10:00 Saturday Night Live
10:30 SCTV
11:00 Laugh-In
11:30 My Three Sons
12:00 Donna Reed Show
12:30 Make Room for Daddy
1:00 Bewitched
1:30 Mister Ed
2:00 Car 54, Where Are You?
2:30 Laugh-In
3:00 My Three Sons
3:30 Donna Reed Show
4:00 Make Room for Daddy
4:30 Private Secretary
5:00 Lassie
5:30 Ann Sothern Show

although i do like the actual lineup better - as I stated before, I liked 80s and 90s N@N better because of the way they ran their network from marathons to commercials to bumpers to intentional scheduling, etc. My favorite era for actual shows was probably 1994-1999

After seeing that schedule I would choose N@N 2009 since I have no interest in the shows on that schedule from 89. 1989 was a beuatiful year but not for N@N-lol

Althought I can do without SCTV and Saturday Night Live, this is a classic line up back when Nick at Nike was so good. This station sucks balls now.

Based on the shows, 2009. But based on the network, 1989. They were much more authentic and original back then with how they ran things. The commercials, the bumpers, the promos, the jingles, and the programming blocks were far better than they are now. Today, NAN is just another cable network - nothing specal about it.

Heck, just think of how good N@N could be if they'd move away from just airing the same six to eight shows from two to six times per night.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on that one. 1960's TV was the best TV ever (with the exception of those dumb rural shows).

LOL, as much as I do love 50s-80s TV, I have to say that the 90s are what grabbed my attention the most. And, they're what make up the majority of my DVD collection.

Coffeecup · 11-22-2009, 07:34 PM

Some of the posters must be different ages. I looked at the line up of 89 and only 2-3 I didn't/wouldn't watch. And they appeared to be 80's shows. 1980's shows shown in 1989 aren't in my mind too old. I'll take the 50's and 60's shows any day. Most of the 1980's shows, well I should a lot of them were teen type shows which were too young for me. I wished the 89 lineup nick at nite had would come back. I miss those old shows.
