does anyone remember when NICK AT NITE used to be a good channel? When they used to show "My Three Sons", "The Patty Duke Show", "Rowan & Martins Laugh-In", "Make Room for Daddy/The Danny Thomas Show", "F Troop", "Car 54, Where Are You?", "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis/Dobie Gillis", "Green Acres", "The Lucy Show", "The Donna Reed Show" & on saturday night/sunday morning they would show an old movie, mostly a comedy, from 4 to 6 A.M. eastern time, called "The Nick At Nite Movie"?

Now, they show nothing but CRAP!!

I know this has been said many times before on here, but I just felt like saying it again.

Sadly, I caught the cool "100% Unreality" Nick at Nite only in its last month of existance.

I rember when they showed the great ine up. They had The Brady Bunch, The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes, Laverne and Shirley, The Andy Griffith Show, Threes Company. Those where the days I liked

I remember the good old days, back in the mid 80's. There use to be "Donna Reed", "My Three Sons", "Dennis the Menace", "Mr. Ed", "Route 66" and "I Spy". It was worth the cost of cable just to watch these shows. Now we have Cosby and Roseanne on every channel and nobody never shows the other old shows.

Does anyone remember when American Movie Classics showed black and white movies without commercial interruptions??? It drives me nuts when channels change formats just to get younger viewers. This is what Nick at Nite did.

I have no problem with what N@N is showing....
its HOW they're showing it.

Double takes have ruined the network.

I'm a younger viewer and when The Facts of Life and Diff'rent Stroke was on I watched it every night, but since they added all thses stupid shows I don't watch it any more...

Totally agree. I actually like 2 back-to-back episodes, just not 4 episodes each night of the same show.

barwars · 02-07-2004, 06:06 PM

No.... Im talking.... 1 show should not take up an hour a night.

There should be 6 different shows on N@N
ALL of them airing before midnight

On other, 24 hour networks it's fine, but N@N has minimum airing time and double takes do nothing but eat up the schedule.

9PM - Full House
10PM - Cosy Show
11PM - Roseanne
12AM - Three's Company
1AM - Wings

Those are the only five shows playing on N@N right now. Even if you get rid of the 3rd and 4th airings, it still gives most Three's Company and Wings fans the shaft. However, if the schedule was like this.

9:00PM - Full House
9:30PM - Cosby Show
10:00PM - Roseanne
10:30PM - Three's Company
11:00PM - Wings

I think fans rather have TC and Wings on at 10:30 and 11:00 than 12 or 1, or the current 1 and 3.

(Although, I think Full House should be completely off since ABC Family seems to have fallen in love with it and airs is CONSTANTLY.)

I diagree with "nothing but crap". The problem is that they only have like 6 shows.

But Roseanne, Wings and Three's Company AREN'T crap.

Dean Winchester · 02-07-2004, 11:09 PM

well, for my personal convienience, I love the "double takes" of Roseanne, just because I'm in the process of taping them all. Better to tape all 9 seasons in about 3 months, than in 6.

Some of us who watch stations like Nick and TV Land are watching with vcr's and taping the episodes, and I am the type who cuts out all commercials too.

FamilyTiesGOP · 02-07-2004, 11:14 PM

I've been furious with N@N ever since The Cosby Show came to the network. They show it all the time!! They gave my shows the complete shaft.. (Family Ties & Cheers) not to mention many other shows (Wings, Coach, etc.) I liked the conversion to "Modern TV Classics" for awhile when they had quality "Modern TV Classics" of the 80s. Now, the selection is really bad. Why is Full House on the network at all? What is "classic" about that? Especially as Original Prankster says ABC Family airs it plenty and at the expense of other shows!!! I used to love N@N, now I don't ever watch unless absolutely nothing else is on!!

It is like Bill Cosby is in charge of programming or something!!

I am not likely to like N@N any better once they change their lineup again in June either.

I also hate the double takes!!! Programming laziness in my opinion.

Chelsea · 02-08-2004, 12:07 AM

Perfect Strangers and Family Ties were SUPPOSED to stay on until AT LEAST JANUARY, originally. What happened? At the last SECOND, They pull a bait & switch, add more airings of the aforementioned crap, and have to put on, I believe, it was All in the Family and Coach, in their spots (both of which are now gone too. One of which to TV Land, the other, to the grave)

I don't remember "Route 66" & "I Spy" on there, cause we didn't get the channel until 1988.

But, I remember when they aired all those other shows. Like Archie & Edith Bunker sing "Those were the Days"! I remember, I always used to wish that our VCR could record cable TV, so I could tape their entire llineup.
Now, there's no freakin' way I would even THINK about doing that!! I heard that when NICKALODEON first started N@N, they even showed some episodes of a show that's supposed to be one of the worst sitcoms ever. "My Mother the Car".

Does anyone also remember those funny promos they used to show back then?
