starting in September they will now be doing something they never did before

1. Showing More Sitcoms on the weekends and NO MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So we can now watch sitcoms on saturday afternoons as early as 1pm all th way to midnight. BOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know. I'm so glad I have something better on Saturdays. I just hope they get some new shows in 2015 and greatly change up the times of the ones on now. The Norman Lear shows either need to go or else be moved to daytime or overnight. They've been dominating primetime way too long.

exactly. some of the shows airing in the afternoons are not my favorites but I like that it's all sitcoms and no movies

I agree and am glad Ant has finally cut back the movies (though not enough, take 'em all off). But this channel is in really bad need of some new OLD shows added. How about Betty White's hilarious Life with Elizabeth, Love That Bob, Mannix, Cannon, I could go on. But these same shows now on Ant have been on since they started and have long past worn out their welcome. Ant needs to learn to give shows a break now and then, play 'em a little while then put on different OLD shows and then bring back the shows you've run forever for a little bit again if you can't think of any other shows to put on.

I'm hoping for lost gems of the 80's on Antenna TV, in particular "Gimme a Break", "Facts of Life", "227", and "Amen"...just to name a few.

I wonder if there'll be a Retro Game Show Network? (And no...GSN doesn't count anymore)!

I wish Dish net carried this channel.

Facts of Life and 227 shouldn't be too hard for Antenna TV to get because they are both Sony shows and most of the shows Antenna TV has are from Sony. Gimme a Break and Amen would be nice to see too. I'd also like to see What's Happening/What's Happening Now, One Day at a Time, Archie Bunker's Place, and Who's the Boss. The Jeffersons would be good too but I'm not as concerned about that one since it's been shown more on cable and thankfully is finally getting a complete series release soon.

And yes, I would love to see a Retro Game show channel as well.

I agree. I'm glad there moving away from there lousy movie schedules. I do agree with the big cookie about moving the Norman Lear shows.

That...and "The Facts of Life" is a spin-off of "Diff'rnt Strokes".
