I hope your TV grid is not accurate and it does not change as much as this! Their schedule now isn't perfect but there are several good things about it. I love the Welcome Back Kotter and Head of the Class hour at 2PM, was hoping to see all of those episodes. With this Kotter would be pulled and Head of the Class moved to a lousy time. I also like Silver Spoons and it would also get sent to a graveyard slot, had never gotten to see it or HOTC before I got Antenna back last week. Now I won't get to see them from the start when they cycle again.

My Two Dads every day is also nice, and it would now exit weekdays after just 4 months. I also wish Jack Benny wouldn't be a permanently early morning show, it would be nice if they gave it an afternoon hour sometime. Benson loses its great primetime slot. 4PM is at least watchable but I wish it was one of the shows getting double episodes if they are going back to that. The best part of this new schedule would be Barney Miller and Coach getting more episodes in great slots.

Oh cool !!! I'm on PST and I think this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

A Lot of the shows I like are on better time schedules and some shown twice!!!!

snowpeck · 05-04-2018, 02:32 AM

The schedule is correct. There are also some changes on the weekend.

Silver Spoons replaces 227 at 1:30PM
Family Ties replaces Growing Pains at 3:00PM
Growing Pains replaces The Hogan Family at 3:30PM
The Hogan Family replaces Dear John at 4:00PM
Dear John replaces Coach at 4:30PM

MikeLutton · 05-04-2018, 03:38 AM

what about welcome back kotter where is that going

MA · 05-04-2018, 05:49 AM

So what shows are going to be gone?

Svenfan1234 · 05-04-2018, 07:08 AM

Some thoughts:
I wish Gimme a Break and Webster were gone completely.
Head of the Class and Hogan Family gone like that is horrible.
If Barney Miller is in primetime on Weeknights, the Sunday night schedule should change to remove it from then.

Unfortunately it is being removed from weekdays. If the only weekend changes are what snowpeck posted, Kotter will keep its 7PM airing on Sundays.

icecream · 05-04-2018, 08:40 AM

Such a massive overhaul is starting in 10 days, and Antenna TV has not even let a lot of its fans know yet, no mention of changes on their Facebook page.

1960'sTVfan · 05-04-2018, 09:20 AM

So there will be two Joey Bishop episodes in the morning instead of just one. I want to record a few 3rd season episodes so I'll be checking the schedule, 3rd season should be coming around again in a few weeks.

stevea · 05-04-2018, 09:40 AM

Huge change. Somebody ought to list what they are removing--seems it's a lot.

It appears the really old sitcoms (50s and 60s) work well for them, since these are all doubling up. Alice also must be doing well.

I think Alice is probably getting good ratings but I'm not so sure about the older sitcoms. They might have doubled up on the episodes because there are fewer of the older sitcoms on the schedule. And notice where the older shows are placed, in the early morning AM hours when usually fewer people are watching.

It's been my feeling for awhile that Antenna TV will eventually become a 1970's to 1990's channel and drop most of these older sitcoms, they might keep some of the more popular ones like Bewitched, I Dream Of Jeannie, maybe Hazel too. I'm just glad Joey Bishop's sitcom is still on because I want to re-record a few episodes.

Interesting. Considering how heavily they have been promoting the blocks of programming. If I were Antenna TV I would air Johnny Carson & the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s programming during the day 8:00AM-10:00pm. Than 10:00pm-8:00AM air 50’s and 60’s shows a different show every half hour at night just like they did back in the old NICK at NITE days.

Svenfan1234 · 05-04-2018, 11:36 AM

I wish that Head of the Class, The Hogan Family, & Silver Spoons were on daytime/nighttime. Barney Miller from 9-10pm and Coach from 10-11pm is downright unnecessary. Barney Miller is WAY overplayed on Antenna TV, I mean I like the show. And Family Ties and Three's Company still? And how do Gimme a Break and Webster remain on here? Instead of My Two Dads and Hogan Family? GimME a break... Head of the Class being relegated to the graveyard slot on Weekdays is not good news, but if it will still be Weekends at 2 that's good.

That being said, I like...
2PM-3PM
4PM-5PM
6PM-7PM
8PM-9PM
11PM-11:30PM
