I have a feeling that my beloved Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman will not exactley "go away." I think it will stick around for box sets, sunday bests maybe, and specials. All and all, THAT IS GREAT NEWS! TVLand.....gotta love TVLand. I'm gonna have to DEFINATLY buy a new tape. Let's overview:

All in the Family #114 <~~not gonna tape it, AITF will always be around

The Jeffersons # 83 <~~~hmm....if it goes away, I'll just tape an ep from the regular schedule

Good Times #2 <~~~~~~definatly taping it

Sanford and Son #97 <~~well, we'll see when I find out when it's coming back for reg. sked

Maude #47 <~~~~~~~~already got one ep on tape

Grady #1 <~~~~~~~~~~a must-tape

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman #1 <~~~~if the 2nd one is gonna be on the 23rd, I'll tape the 1st one from here

Fernwood 2 Night #1 <~~~~~nice show, but not funny enough for me to tape

Forever Fernwood #1 <~~~~~a must-tape rare show
The Powers That Be #8 <~~~~a VERY rare show
Sunday Dinner #2 <~~~~~~~a VERY rare show, also

Three cookies for TVLand!
Now all we need is maybe.....an Nicholl Ross West marathon or something?

I swear, if my satellite goes out during this, I will forever hate satellites, LOL. I mean, it's been storming where I live, and during the episode of Chico and the Man last weekend, guess what goes out? Then of course, last night, the Munsters started again at number one, so I decided, hey, I'll record it, but guess what goes out again? RIGHT AT 9:30. I swear... LOL. Sorry for the ramble! It's just getting so frustrating.

Sitcomwriter · 08-13-2002, 02:18 PM

Yes! This is great! The Powers that be? Sunday Dinner? WHOO-HOO!

What about the animated comedy "Channel Umptee-3"?

Norman's best IMO

Sitcomwriter · 08-23-2002, 05:29 PM

Here's the ad.I'll try to be awake till!

PPatters · 08-23-2002, 08:24 PM

I am VERY excited about Sunday Dinner and The Powers That Be and Grady and Forever Fernwood, but, another show that would have been nice would have been 704 Hauser. But, these shows sound great, and I've done some reading up on them, and I'm VERY excited about what's gonna be airing. I'm taping the whole thing.
