Retro Central: My Fictional TV Network

[TVLegend]

This is a thread for my fictional TV network called Retro Central. Retro Central is an American cable and satellite television network that airs shows from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. No need to worry about any “butchering” of shows, because we at Retro Central edit our shows “as little as possible” with limited commercials. Also, for anyone who’s curious, this schedule is in Central time, so in Eastern Time, all the shows on here come on an hour later. (BTW, I’d appreciate some feedback, in other words, what do you think?, what shows did you like from the lineup?, what would you watch?, suggestions for some shows to add, etc.).

So, without further ado, here’s the schedule:

I’ll see about adding those shows in the future. And by the way, I already have Sanford and Son. It airs weeknights at 10PM|9:00 C.

[TVLegend]

Does anyone else like it?

[stevea]

Yes, I like the prime time, particularly with the MTM block 7-9 on Saturday. Some interesting shows I see, that are rarely seen, are My Mother, the Car, Honey West, and Julia. I also like that the westerns don't take the whole afternoon. A rarely seen show that might find a place sometime is 8 Is Enough. Being an animation fan I like the inclusion of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

I probably would put Mama 2X 6-7 rather than pair it with Carol. For Dragnet I'd get the first 8 seasons from the 50s, which haven't been on TV in many years.

[TVLegend]

I’ve decided to “launch” this channel next Monday, July 4.

[icecream]

Good schedule with a lot of variety

[Demo]

What new channel are you making, TVLegend?

[Demo]

You should add Batman, Barney Miller and Family Affair.

[Demo]

Besides, add The Brady Bunch, Leave it to Beaver, Flying Nun, Gidget and Patty Duke Show as well

[Demo]

And I think this channel is fine, besides, rest in peace to the shows that have to be removed from the schedule.

Great lineup, especially "Nanny and The Professor".
