I finally found out why The Cosby show is on N@N 4 times a night - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I found out that Bll Cosby owns part of the N@N network-I never knew that. So that explains why the CS is on 28 times a week.

I never knew that either, I guess that is why it's on so many times

Whoa, you mean it's true? Wow, I mentioned something about Cosby owning a part of N @ N because of his shows being on so much, but I was just being a smartass. Well, that sure as hell explains a lot about N @ N now.

I actually wouldn't have believed it if their schedule for next month still had Cheers on four times a night. I don't exactly like Cheers, but now it's stuck at a dead end 1AM slot while Wings, it's spin-off, is nestled in between Cosby at 10PM and 12AM. Also, Kids Say gives Bill two more slots. Who the hell wants to watch Bill 3 hours a night?!? Now don't get me wrong, I'm not prejudice at all, but the man is way too overexposed.

Yeah, you summed it up pretty good. It looks like most of the shows will be overplayed and then dumped to a crappy time slot, just like Cheers. I bet TCS won't be treated that way. Nope, I bet it has a nice and comfy time slot for as long as it is on N @ N.

This seriously can't be a good thing. I really want some Bill Cosby fans to answer this one question. Do you get sick of the man? Maybe I work differently than other people. I'm not a fan of TCS or Bill Cosby, so I'm subsituting somebody else in. Let me think for a minute. Adam West, let me use him. Batman gets a crappy timeslot on TVL. It has that 4-5 a.m. timeslot, so I hardly get to see Batman. If Batman was on as many times as TCS, I'd be sick of Adam West and Batman. I don't care how you roll the situation. If you see your favorite show coming on 4 or 5 times per day, you're gonna get sick of it. It might be all cool at first, but one day you'll just look at the tv set and just say, 'Damn, I'm sick of this show.'

Kind of sad that a person could be a fan of something and some station makes you start hating the show.

Edit: I'm gonna veer off topic for a second, but I'm tired of this double take trend. I don't know what the problem is with this double take. It is easier to schedule, but a small station like N @ N should not operate with double takes. I don't think a 24 hour station should operate with double takes. You want some double takes? Set aside a 3 or 4 hour slot just for double takes (if it's a 24 hour station). If a show is in the double take hour, don't show it anymore. You can show it one more time in the early morning hours, but don't show it in a good spot at night. We could really get some variety back on tv, if some channels would do away with double takes.

Yeah you say that now, But how long before Fat Albert takes over Nickelodeon? Nick Jr is already being invaded by Little Bill, and Nick At Nite with the Cosby Show. The only commercials we will see on TV will be for Jello, and before you know it SNAP....Cosby Mysteries is back on the air. Bill Cosby is trying to take over the world and he must be stopped!

GoldenFamilyTies · 03-18-2003, 02:37 AM

I bet "Cosby" WILL be coming to N@N in the next couple of years.

Oh my God, I completely forgot that Little Bill is on Nick Jr. Man, what is it with this guy?

Okay, I'm not the type to do dream schedules, but I want to do 2 dream schedules. I just wanna see what could happen, if they'd add some variety.

This is the NOW schedule. I'm looking dead at my tv guide to look at all the show. I'll add comments too.

9:00- The Cosby Show
9:30- The Cosby Show
10:00-Cheers
10:30- Cheers
11:00- Three's Company (That's what it has in the tv guide. That can't be right. It's actually a good show that gets a good timeslot.
11:30-Three's Company
12:00-The Cosby Show
12:30-The Cosby Show
1:00-Cheers
1:30- Cheers
2:00-All in the Family
2:30-All in the Family
3:00- Three's Company
3:30-Perfect Strangers
4:00-Head of the Class
4:30-Charles in Charge
5:00-Family Ties
5:30-Family Ties

Comments: Yeah, it looks pretty crappy from here. I want each show to get a decent timeslot. I want All in the Family to be dropped from N @ N and moved to TVL. That is why on MY schedule, I'm leaving AITF out.

9:00 p.m.- The Cosby Show
9:30 p.m.- Charles in Charge
10:00 p.m.- Cheers
10:30 p.m.- Three's Company
11:00 pm- Family Ties
11:30 pm- Perfect Strangers
12:00 am-Head of the Class
12:30 am- Add a new show
1:00 am- Add a new show
1:30 am- Add a new show
2:00 am- (Let's add a few double takes and I'm tossing out a bone here) The Cosby Show
3:00 am- Three's Company
4:00 am- Perfect Strangers (double takes stop here)
5:00 am- Add a new show
5:30 am- Add a new show

Okay, so that isn't the best schedule in the world, but it prob. beats what we have now. Next post is revamping TVL's schedule.

DarleneIllyria · 03-18-2003, 03:15 AM

TVL NOW

6:00 am- Gunsmoke
7:00 am- Love Boat

9:00 am- Mary Tyler Moore
9:30 am- Van Dyke
10:00 am- Donna Reed
10:30 am-Father Knows Best
11:00 am- I Love Lucy
11:30 am- Leave it to Beaver
12:00 pm- Gunsmoke
1:00 pm- MacGyver
2:00 pm- Gilligan
2:30 pm- Gilligan
3:00 pm- Brady Bunch
3:30 pm- Brady Bunch
4:00 pm- Happy Days
4:30 pm- Happy Days
5:00 pm- Archie Bunker's Place
5:30 pm- Archie Bunker's Place
6:00 pm- Sanford and Son
6:30 pm- Sanford and Son
7:00 pm- Leave it to Beaver
7:30 pm- The Andy Griffith Show
8:00 pm- Brady Bunch
8:30 pm- Happy Days
9:00 pm- Sanford and Son
9:30 pm- Gilligan
10:00 pm- The Andy Griffith Show
10:30 pm- Leave it to Beaver

2:30 am- Barney Miller
3:00 Bob Newhart
3:30 Superman
4:00 Batman
4:30 Batman
5:00 Charlie's Angels

Here's where we really get to have fun with this schedule. Eh, you know, I kind of like the 6 am- noon shows. I like how they have them arranged. Gunsmoke for all the Western fans, but I will remove that 2nd airing. Love Boat is in an appropriate spot. Some of the shows like FKB and Donna Reed are kind of rare. Hardly see 'em on tv. They stay where they are. Now let's concentrate on the rest

6:00- noon Schedule remains the same
12:00 pm- All in the Family
12:30 pm- Add a new show
1:00 pm- MacGyver
2:00 pm- Superman
2:30 pm- Superman
3:00 pm- Batman
3:30 pm- Batman
4:00 pm- Archie Bunker's Place
4:30 pm- Archie Bunker's Place (Eh, I don't really know about ABP in a double take slot. It only ran for 4 seasons. Rotate it around twice and add a new show here.)
5:00 pm- Brady Bunch
5:30 pm- Brady Bunch
6:00 pm- Sanford and Son
6:30 pm- Sanford and Son
7:00 pm- The Andy Griffith Show
7:30 pm- Leave it to Beaver
8:00 pm- Gilligan
8:30 pm- Happy Days
9:00 pm- I Love Lucy
9:30 pm- Add a new show. Let's make this the Lucy hour. The Lucy Show isn't played all that much, so this spot belongs to The Lucy Show
10:00 pm- The Munsters
10:30 pm- Add a new show
11:00 pm- All in the Family
11:30 pm- Barney Miller
12:00 am- The Lucy Show (Yeah, I meant to put TLS.)
12:30 am- Add a new show
1:00 am- Charlie's Angels
1:30 am- The Andy Griffith Show
2:00 am- Happy Days
2:30 am- add a new show
3:00 am- Gilligan
3:30 am- Leave it to Beaver
4:00 am- Add a new show
4:30 am- add a new show
5:00 am- The Munsters
5:30 am- Sanford and Son

Okay, I think I got everything in. I made spots for some new shows. Again, my schedule isn't the best in the world, but it's okay.

Sounds like Bill Cosby really needs to get his own network if he makes N@N show The Cosby Show that much.

Maybe he could just buy a whole station and make it air nothing but his programmes. At least that would spare the only stations from becoming the Cosby Networks.

AJ2086 · 03-18-2003, 05:08 PM

Don't forget that Cosby is getting royaltys everytime one of those shows airs!
