I hadn't watched TVLand much lately. That changed last week, with their weeklong marathon I saw 21 episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show.

For LESS than it costs for one month of Cable TV in my area you can see that other half on DVD!

Pay-TV = Big WASTE of Money!

..when "THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" is on TV LAND these days, 'MRPITT'- it's just that they actually show less than when "Nick At Nite" carried it, years and years ago. I've noticed more "fade-outs" at the beginning and end of certain scenes, where there originally weren't; TV LAND merely "shaved off" a few seconds here and there, in order to squeeze in more commercials. As for "end credits"...forget it! This is no way to treat a "classic" TV series- but then again, Hallmark Channel does the same thing to "I LOVE LUCY" early in the morning, and they have no respect for "classic TV shows" as well.

GQ28 · 10-12-2011, 01:08 AM

As far as I know they treat the shows very well.They may not show the shows totally un-edited,but they are alot better than TVLand.If you get either Me tv or Antenna tv(which I do get) chances are you'll hardly even look at TVLand.

floyd2006 · 10-12-2011, 03:17 PM

I rarely watch Tvland as it is, I'll catch a Mash episode from time to time. Sadly, I'm not able to get Me-Tv or Antenna Tv

they have a great lineup.

You mean WHAT'S LEFT of Leave it to beaver!

Lets see, late 1950s = 26 Minutes of Programming - 9 Minutes Cut off to add Commercials = 17 Minutes + 5 MORE Minutes of Commercials added 'Making the schedule go "Off the Clock" = 18 Minutes of Commercials per episode.

PURE INSANITY!!!

Better late than Never Again, but now I'm watching "Mr. Belvedere" on DVD that I got from the Library.

I hope the damn networks DO wake-up from the nightmare they made once 9/11 hit...I'm sorry, but I feel that date REALLY destroyed TV in the 2000's!
