I hereby declare Antenna TV the new Nick at Nite and TV Land of the past - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ThomasE · 01-23-2011, 03:16 PM

I checked out the schedule for this new network and it is great. The one show missing is Archie Bunker's Place. I can't wait to get my cable back so I can watch it. Whatever you do Antenna TV, DO NOT SELL OUT! MAKE IT WORK!

Yeah,so far it's a good tv station.And of course ME-TV is on the way also,and they seem even better.Just a guess of course,but I think maybe one of the reasons Hot In Clevelands ratings took a nosedive and probably will continue to fall is because people were and will be watching Antenna-TV instead.

That station is awesome! My husband found it one night and now I always find him watching "The Monkees". Love that show! That is definitely a great station-that and RTV (Retro-TV). Makes me think that ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX are just letters of the alphabet!

Any idea when it comes to Seattle. I thought it was supposed to start on Jan 1st,

djblaze · 01-24-2011, 07:16 PM

I will give Antenna TV 6 mos. before I declare them the "New" TV Land. Although they show some unseen classics( Dennis the Menace , Father Knows Best , Hazel , Too close For Comfort , Benny Hill ) , they still show sitcoms seen on TV Land (Good Times , Sanford and Son, (at the same time), All in the Family , Married with Children and The Nanny. Plus they show too many movies for me. But I give them credit for being new and trying this format and I do watch it on a daily basis , I also like that there is no Station Bug on the screen .

I'm anxiously awaiting AntennaTV's premiere on Dallas tv station 33.2. Once that station's on the air, I then have to talk AT&T U-Verse into carrying it, since from what I've seen U-Verse doesn't carry any of the local tv station subchannels.

ThomasE, if you have an antenna, you can get it that way. You don't have to have cable. You're in NYC, so you should be able to get it on WPIX.

1960'sTVfan · 01-25-2011, 10:41 PM

It's probably just a matter of time until they start showing a station ID bug on the screen. I've been watching Dennis The Menace and Hazel, the episodes are edited. Antenna TV is OK but I think Me-TV does it a little better, some shows on Me-TV are complete and unedited. I'm waiting for Antenna TV to air long unseen shows as promised like Circus Boy and Iron Horse.

treky · 01-26-2011, 02:29 AM

I was anxiously waiting for our cable provider to pick this up, but now I'm not; since they show edited episodes, and they probably have those split-screen credits, too.

Do they also show vintage commercials, etc. like TV LAND

used to?

Ronny G · 01-26-2011, 05:51 AM

I'm still waiting for The Farmer's Daughter.

On their facebook page yesterday, they responded to a poster, saying they're waiting for the "tapes" to come in.

Antenna TV - Tribune Broadcasting Company: We will have Farmer's Daughter. We do not have any of the tapes yet, but it will be on the schedule at a future date.

I thought that was a strange word to use, considering we're living in the digital age. Does that mean the studio has been providing them with old videotape masters that they used in the 1980s?

comedyfreak · 01-26-2011, 06:48 AM

Anyone know if Antenna TV is or will be available in California?

chris31989 · 01-26-2011, 10:42 AM

Just as long as they don't start the reality crap of today, I don't care if they show 90s shows or use an on-screen bug. I'm thinking they are mixing these shows (the 90s ones) with the old ones to see what works. I can't wait to see down the road when Antenna TV shuffles the schedule to see what stays, what goes, and if they add anything else. I'm hoping they can get the tapes in for "Burns and Allen". I may have to wait to see Antenna TV until March at the latest, so I can wait for that. Hopefully, they will still show "Maude".

tvfreak1987 · 01-26-2011, 10:59 AM

I can't wait to get this channel!!!! It's already available in a couple markets here in Michigan, but not where I'm at yet.

No, they don't: http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2010/1...h-antenna.html And the edited episodes are the standard syndicated prints from the '80s. So it isn't that bad.
