Yes, 1:30am is Jeffersons.

[JT]

They should bring Charlie's Angels to a better slot!
I might watch The Waltons......LOL
And Barney Miller and Jeffersons at better slots.And TAXI too!
I can't (ralph)wait(e)!

[Brian]

I never watched the Waltons, but I have a feeling that it will be a good addition to the lineup. It didn't belong on the New TNN with all those comedies and stuff.

[ABC1]

Not only will I still get to watch The Love Boat throughout May, but I'll also have the chance to tape Get Smart episodes that featured Bernie Kopell as Siegfried...
I'm very happy. It's kind of cool that it takes so little to make me happy.

[Sean Snow]

Yay! More "Father Knows Best"! More "the Donna Reed Show"! Can't wait to see "batman" & (maybe) "Superman"! "The Waltons" I ain't that thrilled about though LOL. I see "Maverick" is gone along with "Mannix" & "Hogan's Heroes" (But we know about those two..)

Can't wait for "Laverne & Shirley" Sunday Best. And the "Get Smart" marathon too! Thanks for info PB!

Yes indeed! May 6th--mark those calendars!

[Sean Snow]

Yay! Happy Days are finally happy again here! Wait, if they were happy days before- our nevermind! But I'll miss Gomer, guess I'll have to watch *shivers* The Andy Griffith Show for him.

[LucyFan]

Yeah!!! I'm so HAPPY for the return of Happy Days!. Thank You TV Land! I guess they haven't lost the rights to it. I will definitely be watching as much as I can of Happy Days before it disappears again.

I'm glad Happy Days is back but I'm unhappy with the schedule due to some choices they made.

The schedule should look like this (in my opinion):
6AM- GILLIGAN'S ISLAND
6:30 AM- THE BRADY BUNCH
7AM- HAPPY DAYS
8AM- THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
8:30 AM- GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C.
10:30 AM- GET SMART
11:00 AM- CHARLIE'S ANGELS

2:00 & 2:30 PM- LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
3:00 & 3:30 PM- THE BRADY BUNCH
4:00 & 4:30 PM- LAVERNE & SHIRLEY
5:00 & 5:30 PM- HAPPY DAYS
6:00 & 6:30 PM- I LOVE LUCY
10:00 PM- HAPPY DAYS
10:30 PM- LAVERNE & SHIRLEY
11:00 PM- THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW
11:30 PM- LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
12:00 AM- THE JEFFERSONS
12:30 AM- THE JEFFERSONS

That seems like a fine schedule to me.

[Kristina]

I'm not pleased with this Batman/Superman thing at all.
