So where will the Bunch go next? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now that TV Land has decided to not renew its contract, what channel do you think will try and obtain the rights to air The Brady Bunch? Or do you think everyone figures, the show has a way too long run in reruns anyway and needs to rest for a few years (besides die hard fans already have the DVDs) and casual fans won't care too much if anyone is not showing it?

I don't know, but rumor has it that it is coming to WGN America sometime this year. I don't know exactly when though.

Maybe Hallmark or ABC Family

I would kinda hate for Hallmark to get it--given its notorious schedule changes.....Even though I don't have the channel.....could you see TeenNick adding it?

it would be a hoot if it ended up back at TBS...the first cable home to the Bunch--they could sure rest those Saved by the Bell reruns for awhile!

I don't think another Viacom-owned network will be happening. Not TBS either (they don't show anything older than 90s really). Hallmark and WGN are probably the best bets. I don't think really see WGN outside of Sunday nights though.

I think it may disappear for a while personally.

Since it's not on TV Land, I'd like to see it on WGN since they show a lot of old sitcoms like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie.

What does WGN stand for?

According to the wiki article on WGN:

"...WGN Television is one of several flagship properties owned by the Tribune Company, which also owns radio station WGN (720 AM) and publishes the Chicago Tribune, whose slogan ("World's Greatest Newspaper") was the basis for the call letters used by both stations... "
