NEW YORK, Oct. 4 -- TV Land and Yahoo! TV today announced that the premiere installment of the network's original series I Pity The Fool, starring Mr. T, will debut exclusively on Yahoo!

Additionally, Yahoo!

More "Rules For Fools" regarding hygiene, dating, finances and listening are available on TVLand.com as well as highlights of upcoming episodes.

Beginning October 11, TVLand.com users will be able to send a Mr. T-Mail -- enabling fans to send video e-cards for birthdays and other special occasions. In addition, users will be able to view an exclusive interview with the icon himself, see bonus material from the series including behind-the-scenes footage that can't be seen anywhere else and watch previews of the next episode of I Pity The Fool.

they've watched the show on-air.

I Pity The Fool features this classic TV icon in a role that he is very comfortable with -- #1 Jibba Jabba Attacka. Whether he's teaching fools some basic rules or being a motivator for procrastinators, Mr. T becomes immersed in the situation at-hand and becomes a catalyst for change.

Upcoming episodes include Mr. T at a car dealership in New York seeking to motivate the employees and improve the relationship between a father and son-in-law working together, as well as Mr. T visiting a dance school to help the students ensure that they will be able to participate in their
recital despite their instructor's lack of organizational skills.

Executive producers for I Pity The Fool are Ken Druckerman (Growing Up Gotti), Stephen Belafonte (Thank You for Smoking, Never Die Alone) and Banks Tarver (Growing Up Gotti).

The deal for Mr. T was brokered by The Buchwald Agency.

Ugh...I was really looking forward to the Wings ep. they were supposed to show on the 14th!

I'm really starting to get tired of all these marathons/last minute weekend pre-emptions. There are too many shows on TV Land that are currently "weekends only" and with all this, we're only getting to see these shows about once a month. If TV Land wants to do weekend marathons, I wish they would add Happy Days, The Brady Bunch, Cheers, Night Court, Wings, 227, MacGyver, and Highway to Heaven back to weekdays.

Few changes for Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 21 ONLY:

Benson marathon replaces the Friday, October 20 encore of Top Gun. Benson will air approx. 12:40am-4am on this night (episodes 16-20, 22). Top Gun will still air 10pm-12:40am.
Top Gun encore is now moved to Saturday, October 21, 11:30am to 2pm, moving the I Pity the Fool encore to 11am (from 11:30am).

It is not every Friday! Just this Friday.

TV Land Presents Twenty Five Hours of Howling Fun With The Munsters

Network Celebrates Halloween and Recognizes the End of Daylight Savings Time

NEW YORK, Oct. 19 -- It's a twenty-five hour dose of fearsome fun when TV Land celebrates Halloween with America's favorite family of fright -- The Munsters -- during the Munster Mash Marathon. The marathon airs Saturday, October 28, from 6am to 6am (all times ET/PT).

The day begins with the hilarious episode, "Rock-a-Bye Munster"; in which Herman's imagination runs wild after he eavesdrops on one of Lilly's conversations. Viewers will then be treated to memorable Munster episodes such as "Eddie's Nickname," "Hot Rod Herman," "Happy 100th Anniversary" and many more. Later, in recognition of daylight savings time when the clock strikes 1:00am for the second time, viewers are treated to an extra monstrous episode -- "Zombo," as Herman tries to become a hero.

Munsters is a nice change of pace. I still would like to know why 227 was not given a marathon or a decent schedule for viewers.

[Pavan]

Few changes for Thursday, October 26 and Friday, October 27 ONLY:

Benson Friday marathon replaces the Friday, October 27 encore of No Way Out. Benson will air approx. 12:40am-4am on this night (episodes 27-31, 33). No Way Out will still air 10pm-12:40am.
No Way Out encore is now moved to late Thursday, October 26, 1:15am-4am, replacing some of The Jeffersons Thursday night marathon.
