Why did Nick @ Nite stop airing That 70's Show so soon? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

That 70's Show seems like a much better fit for Nick @ Nite than TV Land. I don't know why Nick gave up on it so quickly. As far as I know, the ratings were great. I realize TV Land wanted to air it, but they certainly could have shared it as they did with The Nanny. At this point, however, TV Land isn't even airing it at a decent time. For such a great show and one that historically has gotten great ratings, it certainly isn't getting very good treatment.

Yeah, I think they should have kept it on at some point from 8-11. It was a good fit.

Because That 70's Show is the worst.

But since Nick at Nite is also the worst now, they probably should've stuck to it. It doesn't feel right on TVLand.

Amen. And one of the most overplayed shows of the last decade, there's times it was on 4 or 5 networks at once. It's high time this show had a rest.

They were high alright.

This was one of the most overplayed shows of the last decade, and I'm not sure why. I really don't remember it being this BIG during it's initial run. Or maybe I was just in a bubble when it came to FOX.

I am a big fan of that 70's show. I think it's absolutely hilarious. That being said I really don't know why. They certainly shouldn't have though.

I think it's a decent show, I just wasn't aware it was that big before syndication.

What shows does Nick @ Nite have now? Is it all Friends and George Lopez??

It's not my favorite or, anything. But I laugh when I watch it. I'm really not sure. I don't even have access to my own cable and, haven't for a while now. I am also a huge Friends and, George Lopez fan as well.

I really wish they would do something along the lines of the 80s and 90s reruns would go to Nick @ Nite and TVLand play 50s - 70s reruns. There are a lot of shows that TVland use to run that got tossed.

I imagine Yes, Dear would be a better fit on TV Land with Raymond, and 70s is surely a better fit on Nick.

Because Nick@Nite probably has certain expectations for whatever slot the show was placed in and TSS couldn't deliver the numbers

My Wife and Kids and Everybody Loves Chris and Yes Dear and all of those shows should be gone
