Should Laff Air Movies in Primetime again? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

So back in 2015 up to late 2016 when Roseanne premiered, Laff would air movies at 9PM EST. I was wondering if you guys think Laff should start doing that again.

I think they should start doing it again. Sure they air some dud movies, but they've aired a lot of great movies in the past like High Fidelity and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, only to let them rot in the early morning hours. I miss the weeknights when they would have an hour of Night Court followed by a movie then another hour of Night Court.

Definitely not. Home Improvement is a great show to air in primetime 9-11 every night, it is nice to see LAFF be good to it when a lot of channels haven't. Now That 70s Show I don't like at all, and depending on the movie that would be an improvement there. But movies would not be my first choice, Night Court should get the 7-9PM slot or pick up something good like Mad About You or Boy Meets World (BMW hasn't aired on any broadcast stations in a long time) to put 7-9.

They aired some good Disney movies which would be nice to see again but I don’t like that they crunch credits now like Antenna does.

It depends on the show what LAFF does. Home Improvement credits are not crunched at all, and there are others also left in place like Spin City.

No movies. Put Night Court back on primetime.

Night Court should be on at night, and have another show take Night Court's afternoon slot.

Knowing Laff, I doubt they'll actually do that. They're probably gonna try to push According to Jim into the primetime hours, which is gonna be

Then have a new show or at least one movie in its slot instead.
