Now that Antenna TV has began airing episodes, maybe this Joey Bishop Show forum will have more activity.

It seems to be a fairly good show, I mostly like what I've seen so far, although Joey Bishop seemed to be an odd choice to star in a TV sitcom.

It's strange that it took all these years for this series to finally appear in syndication, I haven't seen the show before this is my first opportunity to see the episodes.

I used to watch it on RTN and I always thought it was a pretty good show

Joey Joey Joey! - burning it to DVD as I type. Always enjoyed him.

What's irritating to me are those damn credit crunches at the end of the episodes. I wish Antenna TV would discontinue doing that, it's very annoying.

Yea I agree. It ruins the enjoyment of watching the show.

That's exactly why I quit watching Antenna TV. I turned it on this morning to see if they were still doing it. Apparently, Joey Bishop's end credits are longer than most shows so Antenna crunched the credits and showed 3 stupid promos during them. I'm going to check out 227 tomorrow night to see if it has the crunch since it's closing is a little shorter. I may have to see if Joey Bishop is on Kodi.

I think the reason Antenna TV does these credit crunches is to discourage people from recording the shows for a collection. At least that's the only reason that makes sense to me. Serious collectors want the episodes intact including the end credits.

I've never seen this show before till just now! Watching it for the first time. I really like it!

It's funny!

The reason I think is because Johnny Carson must have been very expensive, they add one commercial per break per show to make up for it and they drag the show on a little longer so instead of deleting the end credits altogether or adding an extra minute, they credit crunch. I seriously doubt it's to discourage people from recording for their collections. They also said before that with the rising number of networks like that, the cost of programming is rising.

It's really sad that show hasn't aired in syndication much over the years. It's like a lost classic.

Watching this show now is like opening a time capsule from over 50 years ago and finding the episodes inside the capsule.

I could be wrong but I believe Antenna TV was already doing the credit crunching before they started airing Carson.

Anyway, it is what it is, I'm not recording these episodes, just watching them as they are aired, it's good to see these shows despite the annoying credit crunches.

They were, but they had already acquired Carson when they started credit crunching.

I remember watching it on Nick At Night in 1998. My son was just born and I would do weekend duties. It was on very early in the morning. I was exhausted but watched.
