Antenna TV Adds The Joey Bishop Show and Good Morning, World To Its 2107 Lineup

October 17, 2016 – Antenna TV, Tribune Broadcasting’s multicast network is pleased to announce beginning January 2nd, The Joey Bishop Show and Good Morning, World will join Antenna TV’s schedule as the network continues to expand its programming lineup.

The Joey Bishop Show starred Rat-Pack member Joey Bishop as Joey Barnes, a harried talk show host. Executive produced by Danny Thomas, the 30-minute sitcom originally aired between 1961-1965 and Antenna TV is thrilled to add the show’s entire four seasons to its lineup, including the 32 episode first season (in black & white) which was transferred from 35mm film to make its debut on Antenna TV.

Good Morning, World starring Ronnie Scnell (Gomer Pyle, USA) featured Goldie Hawn in her first television series, set at a Los Angeles radio station. Created by Carl Reiner and featuring LA Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully as the voiceover, the sitcom aired from 1967-1968.

Earlier this year, the network brought Johnny Carson back to late night with a 60-minute classic Carson episode airing weeknights and a 90-minute episode on weekends, marking the first time Carson is airing in strip since he signed off in 1992. This year, Antenna TV also added Webster, Wings and The Addams Family to its program lineup. In 2017, Becker, What’s Happening and My Two Dads, Alice, Growing Pains, 227, Hogan’s Family, Head of the Class and Murphy Brown will join the network during the year.

Antenna TV currently airs in 129 TV markets across the U.S. reaching 87% of TV households.

I can't get Antenna TV too well now, so I hope someone can record Season 1 while it's still being aired. Joey just lasted 18 months or so on TV Land, and I hope he lasts longer on Antenna TV.

I purchased the 2nd season DVD set from Amazon because I want to see the uncut episodes. Package should arrive in a few days. This DVD set is getting rare, I imagine it's been out of print for awhile now. Currently only a few sets can be found for sale on Amazon and Ebay, but the price is reasonable so I thought what the heck and I ordered a copy.

1960'sTVfan · 02-02-2017, 12:43 PM

Well that was quick service, I received the DVD set today.

I'll watch some episodes tonight. The studio that produced this DVD set, Questar, I know they left the opening credits off of the episodes, not good they did that but it's not too big of a deal, as long as the episodes themselves are uncut is the main thing.

Antenna TV started over with the 1st season today, airing episodes 1 and 2, and I noticed there was no credit crunch, the end credits were shown in full and intact. So I wonder if Antenna TV has decided to do away with the credit crunches, at least on some of their shows. Will have to see if the no credit crunch policy continues with the Joey Bishop Show.

That figures if Antenna TV is now going to air Joey Bishop Show with the end credits intact, after I went to all the trouble of recording seasons 1, 3 and 4 and transfer the shows to DVD. Antenna TV airings are edited, some scenes are deleted so it isn't worth recording these again just to have the end credits intact. I'll live with the credit crunch airings.

They had it on last night's shows in prime-time and they were bad. I watched AITF and Barney Miller and they were crunched.

I was surprised to see the two Joey Bishops today had the complete ending credits without the crunch. It was nice to hear the complete theme song for a change. Will see if this trend continues. But I'm not recording all these shows again just to have the full ending credits, it's not worth the trouble and it was enough work recording these the first time, I'm not starting the process all over again.

LOL, well I saw that Antenna TV was up to their usual tricks today, both Joey Bishops had the end credits with the split screen/credit crunch.

Murphy's Law in full operation.

I've noticed, on episodes where they play the end credits, but used to crunch them with "junk", they seem to be intact now. They played out a Hazel the other day. Maybe they read all these posts.

Could be that Antenna TV is gradually doing away with the credit crunches, although todays airings of Joey Bishop both had the credit crunches, while in yesterdays airings the end credits were shown intact, so it's flipping back and forth between the two. Will just have to continue watching and see what happens.

Antenna has two different "crunches":

1. They crunch the credits of the ending program over the opening of the next program. This is the more-common "crunch."

2. They crunch the credits of the ending program over one of their stupid promos (when there is an ad in the coming program which does not allow enough time for the first type). I think they've decided not to do this anymore. The simple reason might be that it costs a lot of $$ to do this. All this is a lot of guessing, of course...it could be something is just broken.

This is why I quit watching Antenna TV a long time ago and I don't plan on ever watching it again unless they stop these stupid crunches. Does 227 still have a crunch?

This is the one I really dislike, I hate this one.

Antenna does this type of crunch for the Joey Bishop Show. Not good either, but it's slightly more tolerable compared to the other one.

I don't like it either, but I didn't want to pass on the chance to record the Joey Bishop Show, especially since they're also airing all the episodes from the long unseen 1st season, so I thought what the heck I'll record them anyway even with the credit crunches. I have the retail DVD set of season 2, so I just needed to record seasons 1, 3 and 4.
