NICK at NITE & TV LAND - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Merry24 · 10-28-2021, 07:07 PM

Is the reason these networks don’t show older Classics is it because of Paramount Plus?

MTV has been doing Homecoming for Real World & spin-off The Challenge All Stars.

With that being said why doesn’t NICK at NITE & TVLand do Homecoming Weekends? Example, NICK at NITE airring a Weekend (Fri-Sun) of Timmy and Lassie and or NICK at NITE 1985.

While TVLand has a Weekend (Fri-Sun) of I Love Lucy.

tv land drifted away for classic programming a long time ago probably around 2007 when they started forcing reality shows like
Highschool reunion
The Cougar
Shes got the look

soon after that they began their new sitcoms craze by airing Hot in Cleveland. Impastor. Jim Gaffigan Show. The exes. Younger. Happily divorced. kirstie. lopez. nobodies. soul man. and teachers.

all they are now lately
is
Mash
Gunsmoke
Bonanza
Andy griffith
King and queens
goldbergs
new adventures of old christine
everybody loves raymond
and golden girls

Exactly! nick@niTe has been the FRIENDS channel for a long time while TVLAND has been Raymond & King Of Queens for a long time.

Isn’t time for a Revamption?

tenter · 11-06-2021, 09:25 AM

Two and a Half Men also on tvland.

also nick@nite and tvland already lost the purpose, they're not going to shut down yet, as they still make money regardless of ratings or lack variety

tenter · 11-07-2021, 07:25 AM

Merry24, aren't you guys forgetting about Mike and Molly recently joined nick@nite? I haven't heard you once Made comment about it. It's also still airs tvland and CMT

Full House left nick@nite recently two months ago, and George Lopez last year. Both were longest running. FH 1st in 18 years, GL 13 years.
Friends would have been next but Nick renewed contract for more years due to fanbase.

We are already in 2020s decade, while it's not the same as it was decades ago, Nick@Nite aquires nowadays could be Warner Brothers cbs show because it's cheap. Example Mike and Molly.

Merry24 · 11-07-2021, 10:40 AM

Mike & Molly are too new.nick@niTe is already pushing this show off to the early mornings.nick@niTe will not get any different sitcoms again until October 2022. That’s basically what they have done over the last couple years.

What I’m trying to say is old shows are coming home. I just don’t understand why nick@niTe or TVLAND can’t have a Homecoming for some of its old shows. Considering Paramount Plus has a lot of them.

tenter · 11-07-2021, 12:43 PM

What do you mean "homecoming"?

Merry24 · 11-07-2021, 01:25 PM

Something that use to always air but now airring it during in today times. Example, I Love Lucy & The Dick Van Dyke Show airring again on CBS but in color.

tenter · 11-08-2021, 01:59 PM

OK then, That was around in 80s or 90s... I don't know exactly, so that was before. But Nick@Nite as been told many times is no longer a classic network. TVLand does air some few classic shows, but no variety.

So literally there's no point complaining about it, because nick@nite and tvland are no longer going back to old ways as it was before. You can go to AntennaTV, MeTV, or Decades. There's some classic shows.

NICK at NITE & TVLand has shown much success in those days. That’s what surprises me on why they don’t want that success-remember what got them officially off the ground. How everything Old is now New again.

Not everyone has Antenna TV & Me TV & Decades & Cozi TV & Me TV Plus.

It’s a shame that both NICK at NITE & TVLand are being waisted.

tenter · 11-08-2021, 03:02 PM

Several other cable networks especially Viacom are wasted.

Crusinforabrusin2.5 · 11-17-2021, 08:12 PM

Both channels slowly drifted away from classic tv programming in the early 2010s (well TV Land especially), in a failed attempt to attract a young demographic. Now, both channels have resorted to showing only a select handful of shows that while aren't terrible, are just on way too much and lose their appeal. TV Land even has a few shows that I like (Gunsmoke, Bonanza, King of Queens, Roseanne) but they've been played endlessly and need to take a rest.

stevea · 11-17-2021, 10:33 PM

Nothing takes a rest on these two channels. Everything is played to death. The binge lengths on Nick at Nite are absurd, and nearly as bad on TV Land. I enjoy Raymond, but even with 9 seasons it cycles too frequently. And with 5 seasons Andy G. cycles every few weeks (once in awhile they throw in the color seasons).

Merry24 · 11-18-2021, 02:47 PM

Yes!!!

Both Channels have so many options and have rights to a lot of shows but are only allowing the same tiring programming to air. When has NICK at NITE TVLand offered a different Sitcom at 12:00AM? Kept it there for a year?
