So is the Ropers starting on Tuesday, February 15th ??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 02-13-2011, 07:13 PM

Don't want to get myself ready for the show at 12:30am on Monday thru Thursday and it's not airing. Confirmation?

Pavan · 02-13-2011, 09:15 PM

Not Monday. It premieres Tuesday at 5:30pm & 12:30am with the first episode. Wednesday it is the one where Jack, Janet, Chrissy guest stars. Then starting Thursday the remaining 26 episodes start, airing Mon-Thurs at 5:30pm and encore at 12:30am. You might want to make sure you watch the 5:30pm airings, because sometimes Antenna TV starts a movie at 12:30am instead of 1am. Check the day's listings first. Please read:

To be on the safe side I think I will just record it at 5:30pm while I'm at work. Not sure why the Surprise Party episode is airing before Opportunity Knocks with Larry

Pavan · 02-13-2011, 09:23 PM

Because the two Ropers episodes that air as Three's Company episodes were given to them as Three's Company episodes. Those two will have the TC theme, while the remaining 26 will have the Ropers theme. That's how it is in syndication. And Antenna TV is airing classic prints from local syndication like they did in the 80s and 90s.

I guess it makes sense because both eps are connected with the Ropers leaving in one ep and the Trio visiting the Ropers in the next

Pavan · 02-13-2011, 09:29 PM

Yeah, I would have still aired The Party 7th though, even with the TC opening theme. Oh well, not a big deal. At least all 28 are airing. And then Three's a Crowd will start after the last TC episode airs in late June.

And are you enjoying Too Close for Comfort? I love that show. Produced by DLT Entertainment, like TC.

No it aired in a bad spot after Good Times. Also i think you mean 26 eps not 28

Pavan · 02-13-2011, 09:40 PM

Too Close for Comfort also airs Fridays at 5pm (in the Three's Company slot) with an encore Saturday at 1pm. Then Sundays at 7pm with an encore at 12am. It's a good show.

No, The Ropers had 28 episodes. But in syndication it is 26, since two air as Three's Company episodes.

JR1 · 02-17-2011, 11:54 AM

So, once all episodes have aired, I'm guessing they will return again as part of the cycle?

Pavan · 02-17-2011, 12:33 PM

Yes, then Ropers again, finish Three's Company, start Three's a Crowd again.

The first ep of the ropers airs tonight at 530pm and 1230am..."Friends and Neighbors"

Pavan · 02-17-2011, 07:40 PM

Went through the episode. Like Three's Company, it was standard syndicated prints from the 80s/90s. I compared it to my episode from Canada's DejaView, and Antenna TV's version had the shorter opening theme. Then after that there was no variation until the end where the locksmith rings the doorbell. That was edited out on Antenna TV's version. And the tag scene was edited out of course was also. Other than that, everything else was the same. I think DejaView aired it unedited (maybe a minor scene edited or so) but sped up. Their episodes came out to like 22:30. Antenna TV's was around 22 minutes but they didn't speed up the episode. One other thing was Antenna TV had the syndicated closing theme, because you don't hear Audra Lindley say "The Ropers was videotaped in front of a studio audeience."

I have all the eps from DejaView as well and it definitely seems unedited. Maybe they time compressed it? It's too bad Antenna TV couldn't have gotten these prints instead.

Are you that stupid to realize that Antenna TV would only receive the local version??????????? Isn't DejaView a Cable network dipsh*T?
