Original schedules/debut dates for USA, TNT, TBS, etc? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVJunkie101 · 07-19-2002, 08:06 PM

Does ANYONE know the original lineups and debut dates for the following networks?

TBS
TNT
USA
TNN

Any help would be so appreciated. All I know is that The Brady Bunch "debuted" on TBS in 1986 at 4:35pm. LOL.

I think boeschner(spelling? sorry) may be the person I need to help me out with this.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Check you local library's TV Guides, if they have any, my library only dates back ten years.

Anybody else?

Thanks guys... and Classic Is Better, I didn't even think to try my local library! I'll do that this weekend! Hope they have some old ones... Although I doubt they'd go back more than 5 years, 10 at best.

EJoshuaP · 07-20-2002, 12:23 AM

No problem Shawn. I always enjoy helping guys in anyway I can. As if you all don't already know that I'm gay. LOL. I do remember catching Roseanne a long time at 7PM and 7:30PM..

EJoshuaP · 07-20-2002, 12:28 AM

Wait.. I also remember catching "Gilligan's Island" at 7 and 7:30AM, "Brady Bunch" at 8 and 8:30AM and "Three's Company" at 11 and 11:30AM.

TVJunkie101 · 07-20-2002, 06:54 AM

Thanks again. Well, I'm sure most of the sitcoms that eventually went to Nick at Nite/TVLand (Addams Family, Three's Company, etc. all) were on TBS at one point.

I know Knots Landing was on TNT.

USA had FOL, and I'm sure all the classic 80 shows.

JT · 07-20-2002, 01:58 PM

TNT HAD KNOTS LANDING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Tell them to BRING IT BACK!

JT, Knots Landing (I believe, but not 100%) was on TNT years and years ago, of course, as we all know, it's on SoapNet now.

Pavanbadal & Burke Snow Winters, thanks for the help, I was just really curious what the networks aired years and years ago, too bad none of the lineups are like that now, lol.

Lee · 07-20-2002, 08:29 PM

What was the TBS lineup around September 1989?

SBTB Geek · 07-22-2002, 11:06 PM

I have also noticed that almost all of the sitcoms that were once on TBS later end up in Nick-at-Nite:

Maybe we will see Saved By The Bell, Friends, and Full House on Nick-At- Nite somewhere in the next 10 years.

ThomasE · 07-27-2002, 06:26 PM

I remeber fun house as a kid on TBS as 3:05pm and Leave it to Beaver at 5:35pm. BTW, "Married" Never aired on TBS.
