Thanks, Pavanbadal.

I like how they changed their "Better Living Through Television" block, I don't think it has ever changed before, but it will be somewhat of a difference.

I'm glad that Dennis the Menace will be returning, since it hasn't aired on their regular schedule for about a year, I'm really looking forward to watching it again. I'm also glad that Hazel will be returning, since it did leave as of June 2nd, I'm glad it back in July, even if it will only be airing on Sunday Mornings.

I hope to watch the "Last Episodes" Box Set and the "Casts in Other Roles – “Three’s Company”" Box Set, along with some of the other Box Sets, that will air in July. I would also like to see more of "ET in TV Land" blocks.

They still have The Honeymooners. I'm not sure about LDCH, but I assume so.

Do they still have the rights to Father Knows Best?
