March Schedule for Hallmark? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Czas na Zywiec · 02-19-2003, 07:35 PM

I just wanted to ask Pav about this but I was on the Hallmark Channel's website today and noticed that they've readded Bewitched to their Saturday morning line-up at 6 and 6:30 am starting in March, replacing Gomer Pyle. I was just wondering if Hallmark's just screwing around with it's schedule or if it's true. Also, I didn't see Gomer Pyle on any part of their schedule. Did they loose rights already? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not Pav, lol, but I saw the schedule too, and was a bit surprised to see them bring back Bewitched. I mean, if they are just airing it on Saturday, that's two episodes a week, before June (when TVL begins airing it), the show will have hardly finished an entire run, so why bring it back?

My personal guess is that they just wanted to run it one more time; Gomer either A) Didn't do too well, or B) is just on hiatus.

A little off topic, but I still think they need to move their Sitcoms back to weekdays, at least air the same Sat. morn block M-Fri from 6-10am.

Anyway, maybe Pav has a better answer, sorry I could'nt be of more help.

They should drop some of the westerns and show All their sitcoms Every day, At a reasonable hour.

I know. I hate what they did to their weekday schedule and their Saturday schedule isn't even all that good to me. Since I'm in mountain time, the 6 - 10am block is 4 - 8am here.

Wow, 4-8am, that sucks. Yeah, Hallmark definitely needs to move their sitcoms back to weekdays, at a decent hour.

Idk either, but I would like to post my opinion on something. Okay, when Gomer was added to Hallmark, I thought it was a very odd addition. Gomer and Hallmark just didn't seem like it would go together for some reason. I'd say ratings weren't that hot. I like Gomer, but I'm not about to wake up that early just to watch him. I bet others felt the same way. Yeah, I'm prob. wrong about the ratings deal, but it's jmo.

I didn't think Hogan and Hallmark went together either. Of course now it's on at 7am....

Just one of the many disadvantages of living in the west. Colorado is a beautiful state, but cable companies are horrible at schedules here. Some channels have the sked 8PM EST, 7PM CST, 6PM MST, some 8PM EST, 7PM CST, 9PM MST. The nice thing is that with Lifetime, I get to see the Nanny at 10 and 10:30 instead of 12 and 12:30, so it's not too late, especially when I have to get up early for classes.

Yikes...how the hell do they expect you to keep up with that??

Now I know an advantage of living in corn country- central time zone.

I already know that TBS, TNN, MTV, USA, Discovery, HAllmark and Lifetime do the 8PM EST, 7PM CST, 6PM MST. Others like Disney, ABC Family and Cartoon Network do the 8 PM EST, 7PM CST, 9PM MST. I never get to watch Futurama though because it's on at midnight and I usually go to bed at 11 cause I have classes early in the morning. But I remember Central time from good ol' Illinois. Best time zone out of 'em all.

Lucky. It's one of my favorite shows and I'm missing out on it.

On weekends I could stay up longer but alas, they just have to have Cartoon Cartoon Fridays.

Hallmark needs some stability.

Add HH...move it to a pathetic timeslot a month later.

Add FOL...take it off two months later.

Add GP:USMC...and dump it in an early AM timeslot

Add BH...move it to a bad timeslot as well.

Kick out ALF, The Muppet Show, etc.

Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie will finally find a good home on TV Land soon.

Bring back Comedy Kickback in the afternoons! And, get rid of some of those westerns.
