It's been going to pot for a few years now. There needs to be a channel just for classic tv. And that doesn't include any show that is in local syndication or on other cable networks.

Yes,it does.Remember the "good old days"of TVLand,when they DID carry classic tv from the 1950's,&1960's?When they first began,They DID once upon a time carry "The Addams Family","The Munsters","MyThree Sons",(Black and white and color)"Petticoat Junction","Green Acres","I Dream of Jeannie"and "Bewitched"(both black and white and color)"The Dick Van Dyke Show"and from the 1970's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and yes,"The Andy Griffith Show"(they are now running this to death.And yes,I KNOW some people like it),with FULL SCREEN closing credits,and all without those very irritating shrinking of credits at the end,which they do now.I mean rre

Disregard the I mean rre part.

The network has been going downhill for years. I think "Chasing Farrah" started the trend of mediocre programming. I'm still holding out hope for a Retro TV affiliate.

I don't get all the hate for TV Land. Ever since they have added The Nanny and Everybody Loves Raymond, I've been watching more than ever. Let's face it, the people that watched all those black and white shows are starting to fall out of their demo, and they don't care anymore. It's all about the ratings, and the newer shows are bringing in the viewers (and the demo), not the older ones. Sorry to tell you all, but as the years go by, networks change to get better ratings in their demo.

Tubehead · 08-17-2010, 03:13 AM

i stil think if they keeped adding more modern shows then they should change theri name isntead of tv land into modern land or something.

Actually, they've been airing 90s shows since around 2004/2005 (but not as frequently). While they are moving forward, unlike other networks I appreciate that they seem to be trying to stay committed to classic TV as well.

Then they should change their name because that's not the reason the network was created and not the reason I waited 3 long years to get the network. Most of the 90's sitcoms are on other cable networks or are syndicated locally. It's just no big deal that they are on TV Land. You'll see in a few years when shows you grew up with are no longer broadcast anywhere. It sucks. There are hundreds of cable channels and not one outside of maybe RTN airs classic television. I had better choices back when there were only 3 networks.

yankeesrj12 · 08-17-2010, 10:01 AM

Why should they change their name? I don't see how TV Land is a bad name for the network. IMO, TV Land means its just a channel with some television shows. I fail to see how it means very old shows from the 1950s and 60s.

MickeyMac · 08-17-2010, 04:09 PM

This is old news. TVLand has been sh*t ever since they ditched their classic TV lineup and went for this more current garbage.

Impressions · 08-17-2010, 04:49 PM

TV Land hasn't been good for a decade now. The only highlights since 2000 was Hot in Cleveland, acquiring those Screen Gem shows, and a few special event marathons where we got to see some rarely seen shows. Random movies, off-the-block schedules, original reality shows, endless back-to-back shows that are on DVD, and programming from the 2000s have all led to the decline of TV Land.

I totally agree.

I remember when they had that John Ritter marathon after he died. It went on all week with different shows. We hardly got anything when Aaron Spelling died. They just used to be a totally different network. Yea they still have a few classics but they rerun the same ones over and over. There's no variety. Theatrical Movies shouldn't even be on the network. If they want to show movies then show made for tv movies from years ago. Reality tv should be put in the garbage can anyway. Shows from the 90's and 2000's that have aired on other channels for years shouldn't be on Tv land. Most of them are still running in other places. The only good original show they have is Hot in Cleveland and that's because it stars classic sitcom veterans.
