CHCH TV - SPRING 2022 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In a couple of weeks, CHCH is about to undergo its first significant change in its daytime retro schedule since last fall, when it added a number of great series like "I Love Lucy", "Happy Days", "Andy Griffith", "My Three Sons", and "Make Room For Daddy", which for me has been a wonderful and pleasant surprise. Look for more of the same this time as a few returning favorites show up in the afternoon, and an underrated gem make its retro debut. Here is what the new lineup will look like by the end of this month:

10:00 am - To Be Announced -

Matlock will end on Mon. Feb. 7. I'll announce the replacement series after I find it.

11:00 am The Andy Griffith Show - Season 4

11:30 am I Love Lucy - Season 4 (The Hollywood episodes!)

12:00 pm Bonanza

1:00 Taxi - Returns Wed. Jan. 26

1:30 Benson - Returns Jan. 26

Both series will replace Hawaii 5-0.

2:00 The Danny Thomas Show - Season 7

Look for the classic episode "Danny Meets Andy Griffith" later this month.

2:30 My Three Sons - Season 4

This is the season where we meet Ernie. He will show up as a semi-regular before becoming part of the family during the color seasons.

3:00 Maude - Season 2

3:30 THAT GIRL - Debuts Thu. Jan. 27 replacing Get Smart.

Danny's little girl Marlo Thomas grows up and headlines her own ground-breaking series which became the inspiration for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

4:00 Laverne & Shirley - Season 2

The first of 3 Garry Marshall hit series that will be seen in the next 2 hours.

4:30 Mork & Mindy - Returns Jan. 26

This is great news. I miss Robin Williams.

5:00 - TBA - "Who's The Boss?" will end on Mon. Jan. 31. If CHCH needs someone to burn the tapes, I will gladly volunteer! I'll name the TBA after the news arrives.

5:30 - Happy Days - Season 6

The season after the infamous shark jump. I'll still watch. All others, proceed with caution from this point on.

So that's it. The new schedule is almost complete. I would say that it gets better the further you go down the page. Let me know what you think about it and what you hope will arrive next. With CHCH, you never know but it's always fun to find out. Like I mentioned above, you may be getting a pleasant surprise.

DEH55 · 01-14-2022, 12:33 PM

thanks for the update Sal. I am glad to see Taxi back. not a fan of Benson. and thank the lord Who's the boss will be gone. Tony Danza was involved with one of the best shows in Taxi and one of the worst with that garbage.

KatieAnn · 01-16-2022, 11:29 AM

Not easy to guess when it comes to CHCH. "That Girl" is a surprise. I wasn't expecting a new show to pop up on the schedule. Taxi, Benson, Mork & Mindy - no surprise.

"The Dick Van Dyke Show Remembered" is scheduled to air on Saturday January 22 - maybe the show will be the next new addition to the schedule.

Shows I wouldn't mind seeing air again:

Bewitched
Barney Miller
Designing Women
Cheers
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Rhoda
Hawaii Five-O (yes, I know it's just about to end)
Newhart
The Bob Newhart Show
The Brady Bunch
Gilligan's Island
The Jeffersons

Shows I would like to see for the first time:

The Dick Van Dyke Show
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Lucy Show
Here's Lucy
The Golden Girls
Eight is Enough
Adam-12
Emergency!
The Rockford Files
Police Woman
Cagney and Lacey

But no matter what they air, this fall schedule has been great. Even if CHCH adds no shows that I would want to see, there are already so many good shows airing. It's actually not easy to find time to watch them all.

Thanks for updating the schedule. It's always good to see this thread pop up.

Sal · 01-18-2022, 06:53 PM

Thank you as usual Katie Ann for the nice words and your support. Like you mentioned, the Dick Van Dyke reunion special will be on this Saturday the 22nd at 5 pm. One week later, much to my surprise and sheer delight, even though I sensed that it might happen, CHCH will indeed add "The Dick Van Dyke Show" to its retro lineup February 1st at 5 pm replacing the dreaded "Who's The Boss?". So now, the afternoon group has just become a lot stronger. Shifting to the mornings, one week after Dick Van Dyke arrives, "Matlock" will finally be over on February 8th. I can't imagine what will arrive next. I would love to see another couple of good sitcoms show up. As always, I'll have the news first.

KatieAnn · 01-19-2022, 11:55 PM

Great news about "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

No idea what CHCH could add next. I never watched "Matlock" but according to CHCH that show gets the highest ratings of any retro show, 2nd highest being "Hawaii Five-0."

I look forward to reading about any new addition to the schedule, when you get the news.

Thanks!

DEH55 · 01-23-2022, 12:50 PM

I am still hoping for WKRP and Alice. Have not watched them in years.

GoodoldDay1970 · 01-24-2022, 12:05 AM

I don’t mind the list of shows that you mentioned above but I was hoping eventually in the future to schedule the shows like

The Love Boat
All in the family
Gunsmoke
Welcome back Kotter,
The Fall Guy
TJ. hooker
Six Million Dollars Man
Bionic Woman
Mission Impossible (I know it already shown a couple years ago but don’t mind watching again)
Growing Pains
Little House on the Pararie
Much much more.....

Sal · 01-25-2022, 07:38 PM

The final piece of the puzzle will now be revealed. Sorry to say that nothing new will come up except for what I've already told you, but the morning schedule will get a major revamping and will be much improved and the afternoons will look a little flat until you get near the end when the lineup will start to look a lot better. Here now is the final official CHCH Spring 2022 Retro Schedule effective Tuesday February 8:

10:00 am I Love Lucy (New time. Moved from 11:30 am.)

10:30 Make Room For Daddy/The Danny Thomas Show (New time. Moved from 2:00 pm.)

11:00 The Andy Griffith Show

11:30 My Three Sons (New time. Moved from 2:30 pm)

12:00 pm Bonanza

1:00 Taxi

1:30 Benson

2:00 Soap (Returns Tue Feb. 8)

Once again, the original follows the sequel in what will be a long spring for both series.

2:30 Designing Women (Returns Tue Feb. 8)

Yes, we get this again. Oh, the horror!

3:00 Maude

3:30 That Girl

This is where things begin to get better.

4:00 Laverne & Shirley

4:30 Mork and Mindy

5:00 The Dick Van Dyke Show

5:30 Happy Days

Overall, not too bad but could be better. An outstanding morning group followed by a bland and uninspiring afternoon that picks up some much-needed momentum when "That Girl" arrives and continues to look great from that point on.

GoodoldDay1970 · 01-25-2022, 09:56 PM

Thank you for the update information, I'm not a big fan of Soap, Designing Women and Benson. But the rest I will enjoy all other comedy and drama shows including Bonanza. Enjoy the shows everyone!

GoodoldDay1970 · 01-25-2022, 10:02 PM

I hope in the future CHCH put a couple of Drama shows, to balance it out throughout the day on CHCH. Oh well, next major changes coming this summer and fall. Oh well, Enjoy the shows everyone!

DEH55 · 01-29-2022, 11:16 AM

Not a fan of That Girl, Soap, Designing women. I am glad Matlock and Who's The Boss are almost gone. I watched Maude the first time but not watching it this time. I have just been watching Bonanza, Taxi, Happy Days.

It would be nice to the show like Dallas, Knot Landing, Dynasty and Falcon Crest. Don't you think it fun to watch again? I wouldn't mind watch it again.

KatieAnn · 01-29-2022, 05:54 PM

The list of retro shows that would be great to see again, or see for the first time, is very long.

I am glad that Matlock and Who's the Boss will soon be off the schedule, and I like the shows replacing them.

The only shows I can't really bring myself to watch are Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Happy Days, but I'm sure they are somebody's favourites, and I have plenty of favourites to keep me entertained for the winter and spring.

No complaints from me about this schedule, but I do love to see other people's wish lists for the future. I hope CHCH has a look here and sees those lists.

Thanks for the update.

DEH55 · 01-29-2022, 07:37 PM

I am not a huge fan of Laverne and Shirley and Mork and Mindy. I liked them when I was a kid but now I don't like them as much. Happy Days I like until Ron Howard and Donny Most leave. When it focus's on Joanie and Chachi I can't watch anymore. lol

As someone said I would not mind seeing Dallas, Falcon Crest, Love Boat, The Twilight Zone, Growing Pains, Silver Spoons, Leave It To Beaver, WKRP, Alice, Welcome Back Kotter, The Flintstones lol

I wouldn't mind seeing The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch or Mary Tyler Moore show return.

Funny you should mention that because "Happy Days" is my favorite show of all time and "Laverne & Shirley" and "Mork & Mindy" are part of my top 20. As for my wish list, I do remember writing about it in great detail exactly one year ago on this site. Looking back at it now, I'm surprised at how much of it has come true.

Shows that I would like to see on CHCH - Feb. 8, 2021

(The one other thing that surprised me: Does Designing Women ever go away?)

So you see, unlike other retro stations that you may be more familiar with, CHCH really does listen to their viewers. So keep those lists coming. You never know.
