Pretty cool for those who get that channel! (I'm not one of them).

The question some members had is: as a family-type channel, would they pull a "Hallmark Channel" and not air the controversial episodes from the first seasons ("Dope", "Rough Housing", "Teenage Marriage, parts 1 and 2", "The Facts of Love", "Breaking Point", "The Source", "Fear Strikes Back") and Season 9 ("The First Time")?

If Facts of Life are coming in April, what shows will leave GAC Family?

It is too bad everything on this station is off the clock, that is a turnoff for watching.

Although I don't have evidence, I think it's because they play the full episode--unlike the Viacom networks, which use the off-the-clock time for longer ad breaks.

One reason I think that is that the old Screen Gems shows GAC had when they first switched format (Hazel, Father Knows Best), were not off-the-clock--and those shows have episodes that are shortened for syndication.

The reason for off the clock is because that all sitcoms airing are playing extended full episodes, like example Full House played full version since I was watching it
