It seems like there aren't nearly as many new threads on this board, so I just decided to post. Batman used to play on Scifi, and then it came to TV Land, right?
Well, which network played Batman better? I would have to say TV Land because they showed it more often then Scifi, and I heard they cut-a-lot out of Batman! What is your favorite network, that plays Batman?

I would have to say Tvland is the better network. Scifi just edits way too much out.

Yeah. They even edit Dark Shadows, and that's only 22 minutes, I don't wanna think how much a show like "Batman" which was like 25 minutes originally got hacked to pieces.

I believe the Family Channel also aired the series. Probably before Sci-Fi got it.

I like TV Land's airings, basically because I never watched it on Sci-Fi, because when it *was* on Sci-Fi, I didn't have satellite and my cable company didn't offer it, but of course, when Batman left, guess what channel was added to my cable company, LOL, but right before they added it, I got satellite.

a little off-topic, I hate what Sci-Fi is turning into. Before you finish reading this, I think the X-Files is a good show and all, but I hate that Sci-Fi is turning into another X-Files network, isn't it enough that TNT airs it too, sheesh, LOL. I wish Sci-Fi would add a little bit more classic stuff (Lost in Space, Wonder Woman, all those cool old 60s/70 stuff that probably all already aired on Sci-Fi).

Anyway, sorry for the rambling on, LOL. As you can tell, I'm sick of all the current/modern stuff taking over the networks.

You aren't the only one sick of the new shows replacing the classics. Show a little variety ya know? It seems like they are syndicating some shows before they even leave network tv!

Plus TV Land airs it every day. Sci Fi just aired it as specials and made us fans wait a long time for the next special to air.
