TV Land/Nick Digital? Pavanbadal or others please add input - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I notice that a lot of the "Screen Gems" and newer series seem to be getting "repeated" by N@N or TV Land as opposed to the whole series airing. I read on another site that TV Land had "gone digital" and quit airing things from videotape, etc late last year and that the reason certain episodes aren't airing is that they aren't digitized. Pavanbadal can you or one of our other in house TV Land experts explain the new system, if what I read is true? It sounds neat, but I wish they showed everything!

Yeah that's true. They are in the process of converting the shows to digital for the Screen Gems shows on TV Land.

Is that why they're stopping after 36 episodes of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman? (A little over 11% of the 325 episodes).

Yes, they stopped after 41 episodes of Dennis, and the other SG shows too. TV Land says they only have limited episodes, which is a lie. Because why have some Dennis episodes aired past episode 41 in a Sunday Best. Those episode looked terrible too in quality. So I guess they didn't convert it yet to digital.

They already did. November 2001. That's why they backed off the Screen Gems shows then. They already transferred their regular shows then.
