I found that out which was cool but why are they repeating the same damm episode? Like the Johnny Carson episode that is on now is coming on again at 3am

Ever since January 1, 2016, Antenna has aired Johnny Carson every single night at primetime (plus a repeat in early morning) regardless of marathons and schedule changes. It seems to be the only show with this immunity and I would imagine it's something to do with Antenna's agreement or contract with the Carson Entertainment Group that they have to show it twice every night without interruption. It's an unprecedented multi-year deal between them and Antenna allowing them to show original full-length episodes of the Tonight Show so I guess Antenna has to let them call the shots in this case.

I watched the Johnny Carson episode with Richard Kline and he said nothing about Three's Company or was not asked about Three's company

Plus the eps they are showing tonight are repeats of last nights

Why the hell would they show repeats during a marathon?

Then they will be showing that dumb a$$ Lucille Ball retrospective tonight at 11pm

Johnny Carson sucks and I still don't watch Antenna TV because of the credit crunch. But I will just watch the full reunion interview on their YouTube channel. It looks interesting.

Yeah, and according to Antenna on Facebook, they're not going to interrupt Johnny Carson this year for anything. I think it was a nice tribute to Three's Company, and John Ritter was asked about Three's Company. And Johnny Carson is not a dumb show. If it were up to you guys, Antenna would be going down the toilet.

It is contracted that way with Johnny Carson.

They show the same episode twice because it is supposed to be the Antenna version of the late show.
On the West Coast they get it twice but the first airing is the East Coast late night showing (early evening for WC) and then the East Coast gets it again a few hours later and it is the West Coasts late night showing. This way it lands in the late night slot for both coasts. It is Antenna's way of have a late show like NBC/CBS etc.
