OK when I found out that the show was coming on TVLand at 6:30 am central in the morning I sighed.I go to school an hour and a half after it comes on.I decided that I will go to bed earleir than ususal now so I can wake up earlier so I can watch.How many others are doing this?

Notorious · 01-02-2002, 09:06 AM

i am! as u can see, by the time i post this, i just got done watching (and recording) it.

Sean Snow · 01-02-2002, 12:00 PM

JT, your lucky. I have to get up at 6:00 AM, so I'd get to see it if I lived in the Central Time Zone. But I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, so it comes on at 7:30 AM....And I'm already gone by then. But it's only a repeat of the 3:30 PM episode from last night. But you know, I can't catch the 3:00 PM episode or the 7:30 AM episode. Sometimes I can catch the 3:30 PM episode. But at least I get to see "Happy Days" everytime it gets on.

Notorious · 01-02-2002, 12:08 PM

it sucks for me, living in central zone. cuz, laverne and shirley is on at 2 and 2:30 and happy days comes on at 3 and 3:30! darn! that means when i record both shows, i have to have the stupid commercials in them! but i made a little system thing. i did calculations, and i can up to 14 eps per tape, if i set my timer (NEW VCR FROM SANTA :rollseyes

for only 28 minutes! then, i save recording space!

LOL When I timer record, I usually give each episode (If it's a half hour) 32 minutes. If it's an hour I give it 62 minutes. I do this cause TV Land usually starts it's shows at --:58 or --:28, at least thats according to my clock.

JT · 01-02-2002, 12:49 PM

I only have one tape of sitcom related stuff.
I just recorded my only Three's Company episode last night along with the first Barney Miller episode.All that's gonna change because unlike just a VCR Santa brought me a TV/VCR combo so I can finally record in my room.I'll start bying tapes on regular basis so I can get TC episodes and L&S episodes.Maybe I'll dedicate one tape to one show?
I know I know.....it's a shame!
I need the new weekend lineup so I can see if L&S and MTM are on at weekdays.
Oh the life I live......

Sean Snow · 01-02-2002, 12:52 PM

L&S is on at 5 PM I think and 5:30 PM on Weekends. MtM is on at 10 and 4:00 AM like usual I think

LucyFan · 01-02-2002, 04:34 PM

"Laverne & Shirley" comes on over here at 4:30am, 12Noon, and 12:30pm. I am alseep at 4:30am, and in school at 12. There is no way I could see "Laverne & Shirley" unless if I set my timer to record it. I plan to tape "Laverne & Shirley" along with "Happy Days". Remember, "Happy Days" comes on over at 4a, 1p, & 1:30pm, so I'm in the same boat with both shows. Boy, does this suck.

JT · 01-02-2002, 09:14 PM

Mom let me set my alarm watch for 6:25 central in the morning so I can enjoy instant waffles and Laverne & Shirley!!!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I go back to school tommorrow.......

I was supposed to go back today. But it snowed overnight in mid-Georgia, so we got the day off! Yayy!

Moondance · 01-05-2002, 03:18 PM

Yikes! School don't start here till Monday!!!

But then again, it doesn't snow here!!! It's a bummer that you don't get to see L&S...only in the morning!!!

I wish you could see it during the day...but... at least you get to see Happy Days!!! Fonzie..(sigh)

I watch L&S at 6:30 while I get ready for school.

I miss L&S in the afternoon which sucks cuz I wanna see the little tidbits they say during the previous show's credits about the eppie that's about to come on.

However, if I run home right away instead of hanging out at the bus stop with my friends, I can see the last 2 minutes. I get out at 2:50.

I can see Happy Days, though.

JT, do like I did. Dedicate 16 tapes to the show. I have all the eps. (except for a full one and two half ones that I recorded over) recorded. And it's worth it. Anytime you wanna watch a certain episode of L&S... it's there! I'm buying all the ALF eppies from some guy an I'm still recording GI. (If I can ever find it on any channel now.)

GOD.

Nick at Nite sucks now.

All it is is Family Ties and Cheers.

Not really. Cheers is on to much. Family Ties is on enough but it has a bad time.

LucyFan · 01-06-2002, 11:31 PM

Nick at Nite isn't the same as it used to be that's for sure.

Lone_Wolfette · 01-10-2002, 06:46 PM

I remember way back when, when my cable company used to have one channel split between Nick & VH-1. The channel would change to VH-1 at 8pm... right when Nick@Nite started & at the time, they had some really good shows! Now look, I could watch it all evening & all there is is... err... nothing (or atleast nothing *I* like)!

Thank God for TV Land!
