Default TNN stops airing it after August 30th airing

TNN will air the last of DS (for now?) on August 30th. September 3rd it is gone. This is very last minute because it was scheduled throughout September before. 10am-11am will be more Kids Say
12pm-1pm is Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors.

It looks like TNN is just like N @ N with all the last minute ditches and schedules. Of course, we always have more Cosby.

I'm sorry if we have any Bill Cosby fans in here, but the guy is taking over every channel it seems.

WHAT?! That is a bunch of bull TNN is pulling. Diff'rent Strokes is such a good show - - - why would they wanna remove it? I just got into this show. Now I won't be able to see the episodes that I haven't seen. DARN!

That is so true. Bill Cosby comes on WGN, TBS, N@N, TNN, & CBS. That's five channels way too many (if you ask me). I agree with you. I am sick of Cosby too.

I had a sinking feeling it would be gone. I was trying to record it, but the black bar just got so annoying, and I have satellite, so I wanted to record Donna Reed before it was taken off TV Land, so I stopped DS at Season Three. Oh well, I'm sure I can find someone who has episodes. What if this comes to N@N and replaces Charles in Charge? It could. I really can't see it going to TV Land. I wish it would, It could replace a lot of extra airings of CERTAIN shows.

I too am so tired of this Cosby mania. I think he's great, but I mean really, enough is enough. Is Kids Say doing THAT much better than DS? Pavanbadal any ideas on where it could go, and how well it did on TNN?

The Cosby Show is on every morning here, and starting next month another network are showing it every day too! I don't know why it always seems to be on.
I only really like the Cosby Show for light entertainment but I really don't think it's that funny.

I'm not sure, but if you are recording 3's Company than you better get all that you can. Look at how fast they dropped DS. 3's Company could have the same fate..........

Well if TNN stops airing Three's company, atleast N@N still airs it and the first season of three's company should be starting back up in September because Nickoloden is currently airing the last season.

TNN's grade is now lowered to an F - - in my analysis. That's NEGATIVE Numbers!

For all the college people out there, that's a grade of - 0.00 GPA. You'd be better off dropping out and getting a refund (Good luck).

It makes a fellow proud to be an Astro

(George Jetson's dog)

For HE could get better ratings on TV just chasing his tail.

And the Deadly Black Bar is still on there! As well as Oxygen Network.

But I know how to deal w/Oxygen or Oxigyn as my science teacher Grady Bailey used to say:

I Breathe It.

Amen.

TNN, I just quit watching.

Thumbs down

Bill cosby is an industry unto himself. If you don't think he has everything to do with why his shows are so prevalent on every network imaginable you're missing something. I saw Cosby speaking at a college graduation. All he talked about was what a bunch of dumbasses the graduates were for not knowing how to make money. It was embarrassing to listen to because he pretended to be doing a standup comic show, along with a good advise show, when in fact he was doing an, "I'm Bill Cosby, and you're not", show.

That's the main reason that I don't like him. To put it short, he just acts like he's full of himself. jmo
