This is not fair! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi, I just checked the new schedule for FT(on another site) and beginning sometimes in August, N@N will move Family Ties to 4:00 and 4:30 AM eastern time.

That is totally unfair especially when stinking Cheers always gets a better time

Montana Ponine · 07-27-2002, 12:25 PM

Yeah, I agree. It really stinks and I'm getting tired of Cheers and even the Cosby Show. Both Family Ties and Three's Company deserve better treatment.

Here's something Nick at Nit probably never thought of.

Why not air the classic NBC shows in the order in which they were originally shown in the 1980s?
first was "the Cosby Show", Second was "Family Ties" and third was "Cheers".

Why don;t they put "family Ties" on at 10:00-11:00 instead of "Cheers"?

I don't like how they air two consecutative episodes of each show in one hour. It makes the shows go through the seasons too fast. For instance, Family Ties will air at 4:00&4:30 starting in August, right? If they would just air one episode of each show on the N&N line-up, Family Ties could air at 12:30----a lot earlier.

Hi, I just wanted to let you guys know that Vision TV here in Canada will start airing Family Ties weekdays starting in September. Not sure what time though, because they haven't posted that info yet.

And if only they'd round out that whole Thursday night sched. and stick Night Court in there!

Oh darn... that REALLY sucks. Looks like I won't be watching Family Ties for awhile.

Montana Ponine · 07-30-2002, 09:35 PM

Me and my sister tried staying up to watch Family Ties at 2 last night but our mom caught us... *growl*

Mr. Shy Guy · 07-31-2002, 12:48 AM

I don't even bother. I can watch it at 5 PM on a local station.

Even though Iam a cheers fan, I think its ludacris that Nick is putting shows ina terrible time slot. Who wants to stay u till 4 a.m. to watch a show when they can get it a a pimetime slot. On a syni station.

I am with you guys and gals!=) Just because N@N ditches their calssics and replaces them with shows that are on our local television affiliates just does not mean that we like these shows. You know, Nick At Nite, we prefer that you air shows that were more worth watching. I am sick of seeing four episodes of the Cosby Show and six eps. of Cheers. Those two shows suck anyway and I am sick of watching them. I wonder if N@N heard about what Bill Cosby said about the Osbournes. Plus, back when I enjoyed the Cosby Show, I heard a voiceover in which he compares the Osbournes dog to the one episode where Cliff tries not to allow a dog in his house. Bottom line, air more FT and less Cosby and Fraiser.(Fraiser from Cheers) It sure would be nice to see that N@n learns their lesson. One more thing for N@N just in case they read this. Since sitcom gilrs are so cute, think this over, who is sexier, Justine Bateman or Keshia Knight Pulliam? It might sound strange, but it worth thinking about. I am not putting down the Cosby Show or Cheers at all. I just want to take a short break from watching those two shows and try as best as I can to watch more FT and also All In the Family.

Wow! I feel so bad for you. I wonder if your mom is fan of the Cosby Show and was angry at you for watching FT. Whatever the case, tell her that Cosby Show and Cheers are being aired too much and ask her to record FT. I am lucky! I get to stay up until like 2:30 in the morning.
