Mon-Sat airings on TV Land in January 2003!

[Pavan]

Starts Jan 2, 2003

10:30AM Father Knows Best (Mon-Sat)

No word if it will still air on the Sunday BLTT block in January. I'll update this as soon as I know that.

Also, the last episode will air on Dec 31 at 9PM e/p on TV Land.

Besides the final episode, are they going to air all of them, instead of the first 20-something episodes again and again?

I'll know by Monday or Tuesday or so hopefully.

I hope they air more episodes. Even if they can't air all of them in an entire run, another DIFFERENT 30 episode batch would be okay, but I'd definitely prefer a full run.

Hope you can find something out Pav.

In selecting these shows to return (ABP, Donna, FKB, etc.) that must mean they did fairly well during their "test runs" this past summer? Did they do good, ratings wise?

[John Sterren]

Great news, pavanbadal!

Last week, a buddy of mine let me know that a small local station in San Luis Obispo, California just began a full FKB episode run -- uncut and without any station logo!!

Any forum readers in that area, please buy a state-of-the-art VCR and be prepared for lots of bribes coming your way. ;)

Just in...it will air Sundays as well starting Jan 12 at 11 a.m. on the Better Living block. So Mon-Sat 10:30am e/p and Sundays at 11am e/p. Mon-Sat starts 1/2 and Sundays starts 1/12.

Info about if they will show more than before, is to come...

The first 38 will air in January, from Jan 2 to Feb 1.

Are they skipping #3 again? If so, it doesn't look that good for a full run.

Sigh. Thanks Pav!

Yeah #3 is skipped sorry about that. So I guess they will air the first 38 like usual, then do 45-46 and the some later episodes and the back to episode 1.

[Brian]

What is episode 3 about? Was it something TV Land would find controversial?

[John Sterren]

Yes, episode #3 is the one where Margaret gets it on with the milkman. :crazy:

No, actually, it's called "The Motor Scooter" and mom refuses to let Bud have the scooter Jim bought him. It's a real good episode and there's no logical reason TV Land would skip it. (TV Land logical?:lol: :lol: :lol: )

Another skipped episode is the legendary "lost" Thanksgiving Day show, episode #8. That one might be considered weird if shown. It ends with the famly sitting around the turkey table holding hands, while Jim recites this long patriotic speech worthy of Joe McCarthy, and the Star Spangled Banner plays in the background. No joke.

February 12th is when they go back to episode #1, after airing the first 38 (minus #3) and 46 and 47 and 59. So after 59, they go back to #1, they usually aired some random later ones before, but not this time.

[Pavan]
