The Golden Girls Coming to TV Land in March - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJ · 01-30-2013, 01:04 PM

We're still waiting for some final updates and news from NATPE 2013, so we won't bring you the annual what's coming up in syndication this fall list today. We hope to have that for you tomorrow...so stay with us. Anyway, we hinted last week that we would have some good news for fans of The Golden Girls and we will fulfill that promise today! As you may have noticed, The Golden Girls was pulled from the WE tv line-up a few months back. The network will be losing the rights to the sitcom this March and will not renew. They were sharing the series with the Hallmark Channel, but that network will keep airing the series and will not lose rights. However, WE tv's rights are headed to another cable network and it is TV Land! The Golden Girls joins the TV Land line-up on Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17, 2013 with a weekend marathon from 3pm-11pm on both days with all the fun and laughs in Miami with Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia! In addition, for the week of March 18-22, the sitcom will have a week-long stunt in primetime as well from 7-10pm and more information on that will be announced at a later date. The sitcom will then start airing regularly after that every Mon-Sat from 7-9pm and Sundays 5-9pm - in primetime every night!

as long as it's still running, it's all good. Of course, I have all the DVDs, but it's fun to watch on TV from time to time.

Due to a cable provider switch I lost the syndicated episodes so I had to start picking up the DVDs, it's good to know that I"ll be able to catch the later seasons on TV again.

They'll probably hacked to bits considering it's airing on TVLand.

Completely unwatchable, completely butchered. And time compressed as well. I don't know why anyone would watch anything on TVLand.

Commercials inserted where they aren't supposed to be, and not taken where they should be.

Exactly!! I stopped watching TVLand in 2001 when I saw they cut out the entire "Veal Prince Orloff" scene from a "Mary Tyler Moore" episode and cancelled my cable completely a couple years later. Remember when their slogans were all about "preserving our television heritage"? Larry Jones and his staff are a bunch of hypocrites.

Thankfully I own every DVD of all my favorite shows and never have to watch their butchered versions and contribute to their ratings.
