Changes to Oxygen's Lineup!

[Nanny Fine]

Wow! I was just checking my schedule out (for taping) since there is so much changing tomorrow/tomorrow night. I was checking to see what episodes of Kate and Allie air tomorrow and noticed that they now will air at 8 a.m. instead of 7 a.m.

A Different World will now be airing from 9 to 10 and Cybill from 10 to 11 (I think, all EST). Each show will now air in 1 hour timeslots. A Different World will also air then in the afternoon twice.

I'm THRILLED because I LOVE A Different World but ugh it totally messes up my taping schedule!


I hope put this post in the right board...

Oh, hopefully Ab Fab will get a more rgular showing. They just shove it on whenever they feel like it.

Pardon my ignorance if it's obvious. but what is AbFab?

[TVJunkie101]

AbFab is Absolutely Fabulous. I can't really give a description, but Oxygen has a page for it. It's a british import, it's pretty funny. Airs on weekends, around 40 minutes.

I'm pretty happy about A Different World, but that could screw up my entire taping schedule. That's quite a surprise actually.

Oxygen has the rights to Grace Under Fire, so they need to air that too. Though they've had them for a while and it's yet to air, so maybe they lost them...

I'm glad they moved up Kate and Allie too.

Okay thanks for explainig. I was sitting here thinking maybe I was just out of it for not knowing what Ab Fab was

Moving Kate & Allie, Cybill and A Different World COMPLETELY messes up my taping schedule because I HAVE to tape those. Before I was taping 3rd Rock From The Sun, Suddenly Susan etc. Plus today Quincy starts and that's another must tape. I wanted to start taping Hazel but that interferes as well. I'm wondering how long TVL will air Gidget (or is it Flying Nun?) at 5 because I'm already "booked" on that time slot while I'm at work. I swear....this is like a second job!!

Yeah, it is like a second job, lol.

Gidget will stay regularly from April-May. I'm sure it'll come back eventually. I was going to start taping that too, but I'll have to tape A Different World at 5pm instead, because my satellite... well... it's too hard to explain, lol.

Yeah, I'm taping Quincy today too. In a way, that interferes with Dynasty, but with Hallmark and SOAPnet, I can get both channels at the same time, but for channels like Oxygen, TBS, etc. I can't watch say TBS at the same time as Hallmark. Even though I have two satellite receivers, I'm too cheap to properly split the signal, so... It's a definite plus having two receivers.

I also tape Married with Children at 5. So that might be out too. I can't tape A Different World at 9 because I tape Mary Tyler Moore then... Sheesh.

It IS like a job.

I have basic cable as well, so I could probably attempt to get Married with Children on that...

EDIT: Well, I'm halfway through with Married with Children, so I'll probably finish that on satellite and catch A Different World in a few months (hopefully Oxygen still has it at some good timeslots then... I dunno, lol, I'll make up my mind soon.)

I may just have to go out and get the satellite dual lnb, even though I dread the thought of running another line JUST to record some shows... lol, pathetic?

Wow I thought I TAPED A lot.

Where is MTM on at 9? That was one of the shows I taped early in the morning, one I'd prefer to keep taping.

Right now I tape Lifetime from 8 to 11. I have 2 seasons shy of a complete Designing Women and a smattering shy of The Nanny (less than 10 episodes). Golden Girls I could *probably* start taping at night (11 p.m.) which would free me up in the a.m. taping after Desining Women. I could catch MTM, Hazel, etc. If one of the ep's of Nanny came on I needed I could skip MTM...I dunno. I have 2 TV's/2 cable hook ups but because of where I live that's all I'm allowed to have so I'm stuck at what it is now.

I really do want to tape Gidget so I'll have to work around that. <----------------- That's how I feel thinking about all these schedule changes...and that doesn't include TONIGHT when WINGS starts

[TVJunkie101]

Oh, dang, Wings. LOL, another one I want to tape. MTM airs at 9am on TVL, every day except Sunday. I've gotten 70 odd episodes so far.

Yeah, I thankfully, usually, work from home a lot, giving me a lot of time to tape and be here at the same time, which probably isn't a good thing

I know this isn't a tape trading board, lol, but here is what I tape A DAY (not counting primetime: ABC, WB, etc.)

8AM California Dreams (WGN)
9AM Mary Tyler Moore (TV Land)
10AM ER (TNT)
11AM ER (TNT)
12PM Quincy (Hallmark)
1PM Quincy (Hallmark) / Dynasty (SOAPnet)
2PM Knots Landing (SOAPnet)
5PM - up in the air right now, LOL
11PM - I Love Lucy (TV Land)
11:30 - Flying Nun - maybe (TV Land)
2:30AM - Barney Miller (TV Land)
5AM - Charlie's Angels (TV Land)

SATURDAY
7AM - 90210 (FX)
8AM - 90210 (FX) / Hogan's Heroes (Hallmark)
9AM - 90210 (FX)
12AM - Welcome Back Kotter
1:30 - My Favorite Martian

Thankfully, I get a west coast feed of Nick at Nite, so I can tape WINGS at 2am at the same time as Barney Miller. At 11PM, it wouldn't work out.

I'm close to finishing up Charlie's Angels. Dynasty and Knots Landing, I still have at least 100 more episodes to go for them, because they had to run for 200 and 300 episodes, lol. UGH.

As much as you like a show, isn't it awful when you want it to end because you're tired of taping? LOL.

I wanted to tape Get Smart, but that inteferes with California Dreams, but I should be done with CD in a few weeks. And I'm going to start taping Adventures of Superman this week too.

Oh I thought you taped MTM at 9 at night, I was gonna say hook me up to that channel!

Your taping schedule sounds like mine ~ constant. Only I work at night at I leave at 2 p.m. I have digital cable so I have to set the channel I'm taping and it has to stay there, I can't skip around channels. I can do that on my upstairs TV because it's regular cable. That helps a little when I'm at work. I've had problems getting my TV clock and the regular scheduling to conincide though so I've missed some beginnings/endings of shows which irritates me.

Here is my schedule (as of today):

TV 1:

I've Got A Secret (it has celebrities on it and it makes it easier for me to not have to change tapes/channels right before the rest of the Oxygen Morning Lineup)
Kate and Allie
Cybill
A Different World
Miami Vice
Young and the Restless (tape this for an Australian friend)

Usually I tape Roswell/Knight Rider at 5 - 7 but that will change now because of Gidget. I also tape Will and Grace or Friends, Roseanne, etc, which is all on when I go to work. When I get home I tape the ABC/CBS/NBC lineup that I watch that particular night.

Macgyver
Sanford and Son
Dick Van Dyke
Barney Miller
Bob Newhart
Superman
Batman
Charlies Angels (Almost done with that!)
Mama's Family

TV 2:

Waltons
Designing Women
Mary Tyler Moore
3rd Rock from the Sun
Golden Girls
Nanny
Step By Step
Wonder Years
Quincy
(then I leave for work and have to set the channel to Goodlife)
Highway To Heaven

4 nights out of 7 I tape Goodlife when I get home until 12 or 1 .m. because it's got shows I LOVE, like Homefront, Finder of Lost Loves, etc.

After that is over:

Cheers
All In The Family
Three's Company
Perfect Strangers
Head of the Class
Family Ties



This doesn't include anything extra I might happen to tape on weekends, off times when I am not at work, like I try and tape Hill Street Blues as often as possible as well as Third Watch.

It's crazy!!!

[tvje]

I am so happy A Different World is back. Though for me it also a conflict. 5 pm is the same time I watch Married with Children on FX, Fresh Prince on channel 11 WPIX New York, and of course Parden the Interuption on ESPN.

I am not home at 9 am everyday, but A Different World is also on at 9 am and 9: 30 am on channel 9 WWOR. But I am glad it is on Oxygen because channel 9 skips episodes alot, sometimes they even skip half of a season, I cheked out the Oxygen A Different World episode description on tv.yahoo.com and the episodes are in order.

[tvje]

Not one to compain but does A Different World really belong on Oxygen? With the exeption of the first season (which I diffently could see on Oxygen), the show was an onsumble show.

I don't think of it as a show starting women like Kate and Allie, Designing Women, if anything I think of it as an african american show. The men were just as important as the women. Though they were much more women on the cast. It belongs on any channel dedicated to one type of audience, BET.

But hey, I am happy it is on Oxygen.

I agree. It does seem sort of like an odd acquistion for Oxygen. But like you, I'm just happy it's airing again.

[dawsongirl]

I don't even have Oxygen or Goodlife.

[tvje]

The thing that worries me is that because it is an odd aquition for Oxygen, A Different World might get poor ratings and won't be on Oxygen that long.

I've felt that way before. I was taping copies of Archie Bunker's Place before TVL drops it, but I stopped recording it a few weeks ago. Maybe it'll come back later on and I can record it later, but if it doesn't, well maybe it'll come out on dvd or something.

I feel kind of weird. It looks like everybody on here is recording so much and my recording level is going down. I record Buffy on FX, but this is the last week for recording on that channel. They are on season 6 on FX and don't show 7 on there. I won't make copies because I think Buffy is gonna be the one show that I'll get dvds to each season. I record the Tuesday season 7 Buffy ep on UPN and I tape the season 4 ep of Angel on the WB. That's it.
