It will be moved to 2-4am. Story coming Monday.

Hallmark has, to me anyway, what has to be the most bipolar scheduling team in the history of broadcast medium. One day it's up, one day it's down, one day it's gone, one day it's here. I mean, seriously ... keep shows on where they're originally scheduled or just never schedule to begin with.

On the other hand, I think they're better at just making cards and wrapping paper than running a television network.

So far, the Monday to Friday 8 am to 10 am slot is still listed on the Hallmark Channel Schedule website all the way through January. As a matter of fact, it pretty well takes us at least partway through Season 4 -- the 9:30 am slot on Friday the 27th is the Moo Goo Gai Pan episode, "Over the River and Through the Wood". If Hallmark is going to change it during the month, their website does not reflect that.

I just checked DirecTV's online guide. Hallmark Channel has TBNS in the same slot all the way through the 19th, which is as far as the guide goes today. For DirecTV folks on the west coast, the show is on at 5 am.

Listings are NOT updated yet. Starting Tuesday, Bob will move to 2-4am.

That's gotta be a record.

I remember when Hallmark aired Family Ties several years ago and it lasted about 3 weeks before they yanked it.

Airing The Bob Newhart Show late at night is actually a good idea. Lower expectations, so it has a much better chance of sticking around for a while. I don't recall hearing about any shows in the past few years getting yanked from the schedule during the late night hours without airing most or all the episodes at least once.

That's true, but at least it's still on. 8am - 10am wasn't much better. I don't know when they could air it and expect to get decent ratings. To their credit, Hallmark did promote the show, they just changed their minds too quickly. I think it's an unusual show(but great show) for Hallmark to air since it's much older than their other shows and not as "family friendly".

The Golden Girls is not a family show is it?
