I only watch the black and white "Bewitched"episodes,with Dick York as Darrin,(when they come around)and that's all.I do NOT care for Everybody Loves Raymond,Roseanne,and reallly do not care about "How'd You Get So Rich 2",or"Extreme Makeover :Home Edition"And I totally abhorr at the end of a series,the tiny,itsy bitsy credits.TVLand is a FAR cry from the classic station it once was.

sorry but it just isn't TVLand anymore; the only thing I 've watched on there in the past two years has been the TVLand awards

Mr. Television · 06-01-2010, 08:29 PM

What's TV Land?

ABC1 · 06-01-2010, 09:30 PM

I don't watch it very much. It's not the same channel anymore.

That sums it up for me, too.

treky · 06-01-2010, 09:58 PM

hell, I haven't watched it in so long; I don't even know what number it's at on our system!!! Like others have said; it;s a FAR, FAR cry from what it used to be, which is a damn shame.

Rezny@gmail.com · 06-01-2010, 10:13 PM

And the thing is;they air the shows they DO have from the 1950's and 1960's and 1970's OVER and OVER and OVER again ,ad nauseum.Question:What would they do,if on one of their shows ,if the film breaks?

yankeesrj12 · 06-01-2010, 10:43 PM

I have only watched like 10 minutes of TV Land in my life. I plan on tuning in more once Hot in Cleveland premieres!

clj2 · 06-01-2010, 11:07 PM

I guess I'm alone, but I still do. I like shows from all eras, so if something's on I like, I watch it. Still a regular viewer.

benjamoon · 06-01-2010, 11:40 PM

I'll still watch it if I catch something and I'm not doing anything else. I'll watch Bewitched (even though I have it on DVD), Home Improvement, Raymond, Andy Griffith, Beaver, and sometimes Roseanne but not with any regularity for any of them. The off the clock stuff bugs the crap out of me and while I used to tape/DVR stuff, I don't anymore.

My biggest gripe with TV Land and Nick at Nite is not the programming in and of itself. I recognize that viewers taste change and the channels have to evolve with their show selections but I just don't like how little care they seem to put into things. Think of Nick at Nite circa 1995 (when I first started watching) - they were up to the ceiling with clever stunts, commercials, programming, etc. It wasn't just watching the shows, it was experiencing them in fun ways thanks to unique N@N programming (clever marathons, Very Verys, Block Party Summer, hilarious and memorable commercials, etc). TV Land was very much that way in its early days as well with the retromercials, Wonders of TV Land, box sets, etc. Now both are just run of the mill cable channels. It's been sad to watch

comedyfreak · 06-02-2010, 05:39 AM

I haven't watched in quite awhile and I missed the tvland awards which I do like.

SpenceOlchin · 06-02-2010, 10:52 AM

Definitely not as much as I've used too. I miss the days when they had Retromercials, clever promos, Twice as Nice and Fandemonium. I also loved the "Better Living Through Television" block on Sunday's that had classics like Hazel, Dennis The Menace and Father Knows Best. The schedule just doesn't have much variety anymore with a few shows dominating the airtime. The only changes I've actually liked recently are the 5-8pm block of Bewitched, All in the Family & Sanford & Son. Raymond, Roseanne and the movies that they show have been way overplayed on tv over the years.

MickeyMac · 06-02-2010, 12:56 PM

I quit watching TVLand when they abandoned their classic TV format and started showing all of that 1980's crap, and reality shows. If I want to look at garbage I can go to a land fill.

JamesG · 06-02-2010, 12:59 PM

Haven't watched TV Land in years.
