Sounds Good! I know there will be some people that will be happy about FOL being aired.

[ABC1]

As a fan of The Love Boat, I have to say how thrilled I am that they're airing the "movies". If only I knew which episodes, I'd be even happier. Time will tell, of course.
July's going to be a great month for TV Land...and this particular viewer.

[ClassicComedyFan2]

"When Casts Collide" - Sounds really good. Episodes I've already seen, but classics.

"The Friday Night Love Boat Movie" - Hmm. Could this mean more TV movies based on TV shows? Very interesting...

MONTHLY BLOCKS:

July 7th - "The Facts of Life" - This is good. I really like the show when I saw the Fandemonium, but haven't seen it since.

Believe it or not Black Starz! showed "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" several times this month. It had a laugh track (!) and was very, very funny in a silly sort of way.

Coming soon TV Land August (earliest late next week, latest by July 1st)...

[ClassicComedyFan2]

Still looks good, especially the Character box sets.

As for Facts of Life, perhaps this is a prelude to a run on TVL (then again, it wasn't in the list of upcoming shows that pavanbadal so graciously relayed to this board) or will be coming to N@N after the summer.

I, most likely like many others, are awaiting to see what the August box sets are. Of course, by then, school will begin again .

[Lance Link]

From what I understand, Facts of Life is coming to the Hallmark Channel July 1st.

I guess it's TV Land's perogative to change their schedules around, but I do wish that once they decide what to air, they stick with it. After running a KAOS reunion week just a couple of weeks ago, it didn't make sense to me that they would devote a night to Seigfried...maybe in the future those episodes will actually air.
I want to look forward to The Love Boat movies, but until I actually SEE them on air, I won't believe they'll be on. Silly, I know, but it'sI'm sure the day will come pretty soon that TV Land dumps The Love Boat altogether-as it does with most other shows.

Ditto- I wish tvland would stick to one schedule for a few months. I'm disappointed that Batman is moving to 3 p.m. and The Bev Hillbillies is taking one of the old Batman time slots. TAGS is okay, but I think they are in those color seasons, which means I would much rather watch Batman. Crap, this sucks

updates:

Fri July 12th at 10pm will be Beaver still instead of Andy Griffith. 7:30pm Andy will still air though.
But Sat July 27th at 7:30pm will be still tentatively Mayberry RFD, 10pm Beaver. Reason is that Andy is on Nick at Nite these two nights from 2a-6a.

July 14th All in the Family: I Love NY Sunday Best episodes:
8:00PM Lionel Moves into the Neighborhood
The news that a black family is moving onto the block upsets Archie, who tries to stop their impending arrival.
8:30PM The Man in the Street
Archie gives his political views in a “man on the street” TV interview and is all set to watch it when the TV conks out.
9:00PM We're Still Having a Heat Wave

9:30PM Archie the Hero

July 21st
I Love Lucy: I Love NY Sunday Best episodes--
8:00PM Lucy Is Envious
Who are those Martian women atop the Empire State Building? They're Lucy and Ethel, and they're there because Lucy needs money, $500, to be precise, to donate to charity. It seems she just can't say no to her rich ex-schoolmate (Mary Jane Croft), who's heading the drive.
8:30PM Staten Island Ferry
With a European trip coming up, Fred remembers that he suffers from seasickness. Lucy has the solution: seasickness pills and a trial run on the Staten Island Ferry.
9:00PM Little Ricky Gets a Dog
Little Ricky brings home a puppy, which is fine---except that dogs aren't allowed in the apartment and a grouchy new neighbor is complaining about the noise. Naming the pooch “Fred” solves problem No.1, but solving problem No. 2 will require some quick thinking (and dog-biscuit eating) by Lucy.
9:30PM Lucy's Night in Town
The Ricardos and the Mertzes enjoy a night on the town. Well, not really, but they did create a lot of enjoyment when this sixth- season episode first aired (March 25, 1957). Lucy's in town from Connecticut to see the musical “The Most Happy Fella,” but she's anything but happy when, at dinner, she discovers that the tickets she bought were for that afternoon's matinee. Ricky tries to save the day, but he's able to buy only two box seats, so they decide that the women will see the first act and the men the second. It doesn't work out that way, of course, and soon, more eyes are focused on the Ricardo-Mertz box than on the stage. Theater Manager Joseph Kearns went on to become the first Mr. Wilson on TV's Dennis the Menace.
