DANG they managed to all=but-kill 227 quickly. Once per WEEK?? I mean, at least with Night Court they made it through a run or two first, and with Wings they drop and add it almost recklessly...but they didn't even make it through one SEASON of 227....

And Benson is getting progressively worse-treated. Why is it always the shows I like. Guess they certainly fixed the airplays problem on Three's Company - 28 airings per week by my count. EDIT: EXCUSE ME, I mean 36. I love TC, but YEESH.

They ALREADY moved 227???????? What? I watched it yesterday and kinda liked it. I guess the ratings were very poor.

The 1950s-1970s shows must be doing well, considering they're still airing in the morning, evening, and late night hours, which I'm glad about. TV Land is getting better.

Repeat airings within 24 hours do not count towards airplays.

On a normal week: 17 new episodes and 25 total airings. So, 17 airplays.
It doesn't air Fridays 11p-12a, because of TV Land movies.

At some point, my focus shifted from airplays to airings. In addition, I got a bit confused on the prime time scheduling - I had Three's Company, Benson, Addams, and Beaver right in my mind, but the Tuesday-Thursday shows that I thought were primetime were actually the in-day airings. (Hence the two TC marathons thought)

That said, even though same-day repeats don't count towards airplays, there's still 17 new shows per week. All TVLand is doing by running the show 17 airplays per week (25 total) is digging themselves right BACK into the hole they just spent 8 months digging themselves OUT of.

If it wasn't the shows it was getting replaced, I probably honestly wouldn't be as mad. But this is the first time I've gotten to see 227 on TV at ALL in two years (hotel I was in had TVOne), and in the comfort of my own home/VCR/DVR in FIVE years (the N@N airings in 2001). And as for Benson? This is the first chance I've ever had to watch the show (I missed reruns in the 90s unfortunately)., and I'm loving every second. If TV Land was airing Benson, I was watching TV Land. I like TC well and good, but it's not something I go out of my way to watch every instance of. Benson was. MY DVR's been working overtime since Benson debuted as well. (Watch AND record). And I still love Wings and continue to be surprised at how TV Land treats it (borderline schizophrenia)

b&tcfan · 07-07-2006, 01:47 PM

That's unfortunate. Way to further kill the variety. I was enjoying the "lunch time" block of shows. I was really starting to like What's Happening!!, but I guess we shouldn't worry too much as it could very well return in 2 weeks with all these constant changes.

I understand its all about the ratings, but the list of shows on hiatus/weekends only just seems to be getting a little too big. I never expected to see Cheers as a weekend only show.
I find it interesting that Wings keeps hanging in there while shows that have just been aquired over the last year and promoted somewhat heavily (What's Happening!! and Night Court) go on hiatus. I don't have anything against Wings, it just seems like it would be the show getting pulled, I guess it does a little better than those other 2.

227 has to be a record-setter for debuting in the middays and being shifted to weekends in less than 2 weeks.

It seems that for the most part, the majority of those 6 shows that TV Land aquired over the last 2 years have not worked out so well.
Good Times has done well and I'm sure The Jeffersons will do the same.
Out of the other 4, it seems What's Happening!! did better than Night Court, which did better than Benson, which is doing better than 227.

clj2 · 07-07-2006, 02:34 PM

Have you all noticed something?

Seems like it's always the 1980s shows getting pulled, shoved around, going on hiatus, skipping around the schedule, etc - can we say that for a 1950s, 1960s, or for the most part 1970s show on TV Land? First it was Family Ties....then it was Kids Say....then Hunter....now Wings, 227, Benson, Night Court, MacGyver, Highway to Heaven, Vice, Simon and Simon, and Knight Rider etc....I have yet to see an entirely 80s show do well. I like some 1980s shows, but I just don't see them going over well on TV Land. They're getting back on the right track acquiring Star Trek.

It's funny...you have shows like The Munsters, Leave it to Beaver, Sanford and Son, Andy Griffith, Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy, etc...which continue to be successful after being on for years- then you have the shows like I mentioned above, and they barely last a year. I just don't see 1980s shows and TV Land working out. Hopefully they realize that.

Pavan · 07-07-2006, 02:38 PM

The afternoon block of WH, Cheers, Wings didn't bomb, it did OK, but they wanted to encore the mini-marathons, and it is unfortunate that 227 was in that block.

'70s shows do the best on TV Land. '80s have done well, MacGyver, Miami Vice, etc. all did very well at the start. Benson and Night Court's marathons both were good. The A-Team is enjoying a second great run on TV Land daily. Besides Star Trek, I don't think they will air another 60s shows in the near future...maybe online, but I doubt on-air.

clj2 · 07-07-2006, 03:37 PM

I am still hoping for more 'old' shows, though, it never hurts to keep requesting them. The Link says the evening schedule from 5-8pm was sort of a 'test' due to the amount of requests for more 50s and 60s programming. I'm assuming that must be doing well?

Pavan · 07-07-2006, 04:43 PM

TAGS/LITB is doing the best in the late evening (5-8pm).

clj2 · 07-07-2006, 05:34 PM

Figures about LITB/TAGS - I just hope LITB will re-join Andy at the 9pm hour sometime in the near future.

brtcmfn · 07-07-2006, 07:13 PM

Well if TAGS/LITB are doing well- when is TV Land going to wake up and start airing more classics from the 50's/60's-
(Burns and Allen/Bilko, Car 54, I married Joan, etc, etc)
