Why is this show on Antenna TV? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Antenna TV is for retro, nostalgic shows. Last time I checked, 1998 is not retro. If they're gonna air it, they should at least save it for between 1 and 5 AM. Then maybe they could air Newhart at midnight instead of 1 AM. Why do they air this?

Yeah I agree!

It isn't old enough of a show for this channel nor is this show very good anyway !!!

I find it okay, but it would be more fitting on Laff, I sure would like to see Step by Step picked up by Antenna TV

It's really considered to be too "new" of a show to be aired on something like Antenna TV anyway.

And I agree. LAFF would be a more fitting choice for Becker and Step By Step would be nice to show.

Well it certainly isn't on my wish list. And retro to me should be a last airing at least 25 years ago. The one exception to this would be WINGS which I absolutely adore.

I agree, and Wings started in 1990 , so it IS over 25 years ago.

And Wings is a funny show!

Becker is a lot newer and kind of blah

IMO!!

Pretty soon it's getting moved to Mon-Thur nights and Sunday nights at 4 AM Eastern. Thankfully Wings still stays at 11 though, and Newhart is airing Sunday nights at 11

I don't get Wings here!!! I'm on Pacific time and Wings should air at 8 PM, but at that time Antenna plays local news from 8-9!

Becker is definitely way too new for Antenna TV. It ended in 2004. That's not retro at all.

I was counting by LAST episode of series airing, which for WINGS is 1997 or 1998 I believe. But it's such an utterly enjoyable and charming show I'd be delighted to watch it on any channel. (Sorry if I had been a llittle unclear in my original post)

And I agree with you on Becker, IMO it's not all that.

Just like how if Buzzr aired the Anderson, Karn, and O'Hurley eras of Family Feud, those would be too new for them.
