Revisiting TV Land Box Sets

[24/7 reruns]

This is my first post for starting a conversation so I hope I'm not repeating an existing topic.

Remember when TV Land was in it's prime? One of my favorite offerings was there Box Sets. So I was thinking what if that were to continue somewhere. I came up with a bunch of themes with episodes from shows that would now be seen on channels like METV, METV+, Antenna TV, Rewind, Laff, FETV, etc.

Do you have any themes with episodes for this idea? What other shows could be added to the list I came up with?

Here's my list at this point. With more to come.

Welcome to the community.

I didn't get TV Land until a few years after they started. I missed out on their early years. I'm sure many people on here miss how TV Land used to be. They had a lot of good ideas with their programming, promos and the retromercials.

I like your theme ideas.

Split Happens - bowling themed episodes

The Dick Van Dyke Show - The Twizzle S1 E23
The Andy Griffith Show - Howard the Bowler S8 E2
My Three Sons - The Enthusiast S12 E9
The Odd Couple - To Bowl or Not to Bowl S5 E2
Laverne & Shirley - Bowling for Razzberries S1 E3

Here's some threads from 2001 and 2002 with some of their Box Sets.

Unsung Hero: Burt Mustin
3pm All in the Family "Archie Is Worried About His Job" When his company announces that it's downsizing, Archie spends a night wondering if his job's been eliminated. Guard: Burt Mustin.
3:30pm Get Smart "Diamonds Are a Spy's Best Friend" Max uncovers a KAOS diamond-smuggling ring.
4pm The Andy Griffith Show "Goodbye Sheriff Taylor" Andy leaves Barney in charge while he goes to Raleigh to interview for another job, and things immediately get out of hand. Judd: Burt Mustin

TJ thanks for replying. Bowling definitely was a theme used alot then. Not so much now. I found some additional shows for it.

Hazel – Hazel and the Playground S1, E1. The Natural Athlete S2, E11. Hazel and the Halfback S3, E15
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet- The Bowling Alley S1, E26
Married with Children- Alley of the Dolls S2, E9. Peggy Turns 300 S4, E19

Now Burt Mustin was one of my favorite character actors. He's from my home town Pittsburgh. I didn't realize he didn't start his acting career until he was 67. I remember him in Dragnet episodes. The Bank Examiner S1, E6. The Senior Citizen S2, E7 (My favorite) and Homicide DR-22 S3, E14.

I wish one of these retro channels pick up on this format. Sunday afternoons were always fun with the TV Land Box Set.

Hi 24/7 reruns!

I hope you’ll like it here.

TVLAND Box Sets brings back a lot of memories. Since Me TV has the Summer Of Me Perhaps Summer 2023 Antenna TV will do something similar to this.
