Default Only a matter of time now before this show gets pulled from TV One

The show is now airing in the early evening, 2am in the morning,, and saturday afternoon which are all bad timeslots for a show trying to gain a fanbase


If no one was watching the show at prime time on friday then you know no one is watching at 2am

This show will be gone before Labor Day, BOOK IT

I am very sorry to learn this! As you can see, in the recent past, I have tried very hard to stimulate some conversation by bringing four old threads to the top of this page. I would say that the fact that nobody has responded to any of them says something about how many people are still interested in the show! I guess that we just have to accept that this show is past its day!

Well no one responded years ago because the show was not in syndication and no one is responding today because not many people are on the site due to social media

Is this something you know or just an opinion? I don't care what time it's on because I DVR it and watch it at my leisure. I can't be the only one.

Sorry to learn that you have to make a choice like that. I hope that your situation improves one of these days!

Why not just watch the show instead of over analyzing like usual, Solomon? You probably haven't even watched it. It's not going to be pulled.

I'm with you TFF...I can only seem to catch this on Saturday afternoons, and that's after doing a "channel check", cuz I can never remember that it's still on!

I haven't seen this show since it first aired back in the 80's...

I didn't have cable until 1989 so that explains why this is my 1st time seeing it on cable
