Why is TVLand repeating episodes so soon (Pavanbadal?) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I noticed that TVLand is only showing a limited # of episodes and than starting them over again. I noticed with "The Walton's" they only showed about twenty some episodes and started back to episode one. Now I see starting next week (the 24th), Dennis the Menace is starting over with episode one. Does anyone know why they are doing this? Is it going to happen with all the new shows they recently added?

The Waltons starting over after episode 30 is a mystery, since it is not part of the Screen Gems Deal. As for Dennis, they are going back to episode 1 after episode 41 on June 24 AND in late July too! So expect this to happen for the next 2 cycles atleast. Either they don't have episodes 42 and on ready yet, or they only have limited rights. They should have put Dennis on episode per day slot, so all of them could air.

The Rookies will go back to episode 1 on July 1st, stopping after episode 35 on June 30th.
Donna Reed Show episode 1 scheduled for Wednesday July 3rd. Episode 36 will air on July 2nd!
Flying Nun will go back to episode 3 on July 8th, July 7th is episode 32.
So Waltons, Dennis, Rookies, and now Donna Reed & Flying Nun!
Gidget will stop after episode 31 on July 9th, so the last episode won't air, first episode will air July 10th.

FKB, Hazel, Monkees, Fernwood, and MH2 look good so far, but that is because they air only on weekends. Burns and Allen has been jumping around, for expample, from episode 5 to 15.

The reason is either they have limited rights or are still fixing the digital videos for those later episodes.
