This Would Make a Fantastic Schedule for Antenna TV - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 02-02-2019, 12:50 AM

This is not their actual schedule but what I would do. The four returning shows have all aired on Antenna at some point. Bachelor Father and Mr. Belvedere I don't think have aired anywhere nationally since they left Antenna. WKRP in Cincinnati and Newhart are under contract to rivals so Antenna would need to snatch them away when the rival contract expired.

What's Returning: WKRP in Cincinnati, Newhart, Mr. Belvedere, Bachelor Father

What's Leaving: Nothing currently airing leaves entirely.

7PM WKRP in Cincinnati- The 7-10 block recreates what WGN had a long time ago when they aired their Sunday classics block. I think that is when I first became a fan of all three shows. This is also the hour WKRP aired briefly for 2 months the only time it was on Antenna's weekday schedule, shortly before expiring.

I like flipping Father Knows Best and Burns and Allen. I do like FKB, but I'd like B&A to be at a better time. Also like bringing Benny back on weekdays. His show and Burns' show aren't typical comedies.

Also with Bachelor Father they need to find some way to play all the episodes. They skipped much of seasons 4 and 5, probably due to music issues.

They Can't get rights back to WKRP Cinn and Leave it to Beaver and Newhart when MeTV and Decades may have a Long Term Contract to those show

I exactly agree on that, Newhart is currently on Decades while WKRP in Cincinnati & Leave It To Beaver are on METV.

Svenfan1234 · 02-09-2019, 11:20 PM

As far as what I wish Antenna TV would add, how bout these: Room 222, It's a Living, & Chico and the Man are a few I'd love to see. I'd also love to see Bachelor Father, Mr. Belvedere, Doogie Howser, & Evening Shade back on the schedule.

Mr. Television · 02-09-2019, 11:35 PM

Bachelor Father needs to come back.

icecream · 03-01-2019, 05:41 PM

Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley are treated like dirt by Me-TV, off the regular schedule since 2016 and 2017. And on Cozi The Dick Van Dyke Show was just taken off the schedule, where it was already reduced to a graveyard slot. If Antenna can snatch the rights away they would make excellent additions. My schedule with them joining

I strongly agree on that! And Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley do not need to come to Antenna where they will be credit crunched. They need be somewhere else that is crunch-free.

I am glad you like it.

Svenfan1234 · 03-01-2019, 06:04 PM

The thing is that MeTV still has the rights to both Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley as of right now. So Antenna couldn't get them right now.

eng51squad51 · 03-01-2019, 10:15 PM

same with Dick Van Dyke as CoziTV may still have rights to that show so antennaTV can't get until their rights expires.

icecream · 03-01-2019, 11:45 PM

My point is that Me-TV treats Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley like crap, and Cozi treats Dick Van Dyke the same. It is a real shame that they hold onto the rights and don't let a network that could actually use it (and a network I get) like Antenna have them.
