Ok i am so mad at tv land.... what is the deal with parmount and viacom? are they just two cheap or going bankrupt? or just new brains to head there company? The reason i ask this,is because with the way they treat the programs, on hazel, and father knows best, and perfect strangers.... i remeber reading along time ago, that they could not air all of perfect strangers episodes, because they were being converted over to digital, they said the same with charles in charge.... what a buch of bull that tv land is feeding us, if that were the case, how come other shows like dick van dyke and threes company have not been converted over,and then i was reading today, that they only have a 8 epsidoes of shazam? I bet that they have all the others, they just dont like us fans, so they buy half a show, the keep it under contract like they have with three's company.... They have the rights to three's a crowd and the ropers but wont air them... Larry w jones and the ceo of paramount and viacom need to step down... or get their heads examined, I say we start a petiion to have them step down, get enough people to sign their name and send it on its way.... then another thing i find so stupid...is on their website, they have not even put up feb's schedule, and when people have asked the host about it, he know's nothing... I think that he knows more then he tells us.... i hope tv land looses views and then maybe they will think about things...

I'm a Viewer than TV LAND lost due to their selection of shows. I don't even turn to the channel anymore.

Sometimes, TV Land doesn't obtain the rights to air all the episodes, just select ones. Sometimes the contract may allow them to air a sequential number of episodes, such as episodes 1 thru 20 of a series (like Hazel and Dennis the Menace). Other times, TV Land gets a "library dipping" deal where they can hand pick a certain number of episodes from the series (like was done when Dobie Gillis aired on TV Land). Other times, they get the entire series.

I say we learn how to use periods, capitals, and the little button known as enter.
