Does Anyone Know How Major Dad Will Ever Come Nick At Nite At 4:00AM And 4:30AM?

Pavan · 09-04-2002, 09:17 PM

No. Email USA Network, they have the rights I think still.

HuskerTornado · 09-04-2002, 09:29 PM

It would be great if someone would start airing it.

I have been emailing usa, Nick @Nite, Disney ,and TVland begging for the return of Major Dad. Maybe if enough of us do this it will happen.

hhjp · 05-14-2005, 01:45 PM

as of 5.14.05 the return of Major Dad has not happened yet. Turner South is NOT a NATIONAL network, so TS airing episodes does not count.

I get Turner South, and I watch Major Dad all the time. Plus, I recorded some episodes of it if you guys are interested.

I am very grateful to have Major Dad on Turner South, but I think the show deserves better coverage...I could possibly see this joining Nick@Nite/TV Land/CMT, Lifetime, ABCFamily, or being sold to locals/TBS/WGN-Superstation.

Lifetime? The women's channel? You've got to be kidding me.

Nick@Nite & TV Land has no interest in airing Universals sitcoms (With the exceptions of Beaver & Munsters). You've seen what they've done to Charles In Charge & Coach right? They weren't even on there for a full year.

ABC Family? Maybe, because it's a family sitcom.

TBS/WGN-Superstation? I doubt that.

Locals? Major Dad was never in syndication, so I don't know.

Chances are, USA Network needs to air this show again. I know that USA had ran this show from 1993 to 1999, but still. It needs to be brought back because Universal owns USA, as well as Major Dad & Coach.

tvlover85 · 03-13-2006, 08:57 PM

The reason I said Lifetime was because they are picking up Still Standing and Reba this fall, two other family sitcoms (maybe a change in format?). Also Major Dad I believe was originally going to the locals but USA picked up exclusive rights. I believe it ran long enough for syndication (Fox/CW/My Network TV affiliates/Independents) and TBS/WGN to pick it up. Also TBS should air this since they have the rights to it and already still air Mama's Family and Saved By the Bell.

I would Love to see Major Dad come to Nick@Nite

Rue_McClanahan · 09-05-2008, 02:33 AM

I would love for Major Dad to come to Nick@Night! Maybe if everyone emailed them or someone got a petition started to get a bunch of signatures they might consider it. I don't think it would be considered unless they knew a whole lot of people wanted it.
