The Schedule Follies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Alrighty. I'm a new FOL fan and very new to this site. It's 3:05am here. I've noticed that there's a LOT of anger over N@N's wacko scheduling practices. So..here goes.

A few questions:
For some dumb reason(I'm an idiot) I only started watching regularly when Bev Ann came aboard.

1. Is this the 1st or 2nd run on N@N?

2. Has it been on at 10/9pm and 10:30/9:30 since September?

3. During the marathon did they show the pilot?

4. Has N@N been screwy with the schedule since September?

Someone mentioned this earlier,but N@N once showed episodes in order and uncut. I remember the first line up included "I Love Lucy","The Donna Reed Show" and "Route 66".
They have a monopoly on most classic TV shows.

Exactly who owns "The Facts of Life"? Does N@N have exclusive rights to air it? Is there any other way to get it shown on TBS(for example) or any other network?

Any comments? Suggestions? You guys have been here longer than I have,and know more.

And here's to hoping the TV movies are never shown again.

Ok! Here are the answers to some of your questions

this is the first run on Nick at nite. It's been running since September of 2000. On December 27th there going back to season # 1, for the secon run of shows.

During the mathron it was on from 8:30 till 12:30, then for about a month one eposide was aired at 8:30, and the second one at 10:00. After the three's company mathron both eposides started airing at 10 and 10:30

No the pilot eposide wasn't shown during the mathron; however the first eposide of the serious was shown (Rough Housing) since they were first introduced during an eposide of Different Strokes I guess will have to see if Tvland or Nickatnite might start airing Different Strokes, then maybe we might get to see the pilot eposide, but until then Nick At Night proberly won't air it.

I hope that helps. Sorry I couldnt' answer the rest.
