Future of Happy Days on TV? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

So HD's run on TV land is only 3 months & history. I wonder if another network may carry the show? I always felt TV land was a bad choice because I knew the show would get bumped, since its sister, Nick bumped it earlier. I wonder if the Family Channel might be interested in HD?or someone else? Or is the interest in HD so low that no station will pick it up?

You know, a local religious station where I lived showed it for awhile, then took it off for either Hogans heroes or family Ties -- cant remember -- between 1 and 2 yrs ago. I mention this because it is the first time in my life that i can ever remember HD NOT being on the air where I live. It kind of blew me away.
I really hope someone does bring it back, but I'm also starting to realize what every generation eventually has to: times change rapidly and the old gets pushed aside for the new. I finally understand what my mother and grandparents were always talkng about. As good as all these older sitcoms are, they're bound to be set aside to make way for the "new" classics.
I certainly hope "my generations" classic shows are able to stick around; and even be released for sale so that i have the choice to see them or not. It's just so very odd to think of the day when all the things i grew up with will be absolutely unimportant to the young. Dude, and Im not even 29 yet!! LOL.

You Know thats so true about The Old Sitcoms. Not Only Cable Channels But Local TV Stations as well Have no Interest In Some of the great shows we grew up with. I felt bad that Happy Days Got Axed By TVLAND so fast. One of my alltime favorites Batman is Comming to TVLAND Next Month I hope It Does great on the Network.
