LOL! Meaning all 108 episodes that they have? I wonder which 69 Lost Episodes will be included, I thought there were only 68 in syndication. I'm glad they're back on TV though...even if it is at 1 a.m. Monday mornings.

Some of those half hours have two sketches and some sketches were cut into two half hours. Could that account for the discrepancy?

Could be, but if by "108 episodes" they mean the Classic 39 and 69 Lost Episodes, that still leaves out 7 Lost Episodes from the DVD collection. I'm guessing "Lost Baby," "Quiz Show," and "What's The Name" won't be included as usual, they'll probably omit one of the two versions of "Vacation At Fred's Landing," as well as "Christmas Party" and "New Year's Eve Party" due to the musical numbers. The 7th is anyone's guess though...maybe "Santa & The Bookies" or "Halloween Party" unless it's that time of the year, or "Songwriters" for the same reason as "Christmas Party" and "New Year's Eve Party"?

I just thought I would point this out.

The episode "What's The Name" (the one with Ralph & Alice singing) IS included in the syndication package. I remember recording it off of WPIX in 1997. It is attached to "Lawsuit." Also, I did a tape trade with a guy who has "What's The Name." He taped it off of a TV station (I call tell by the logo on the screen.)

"What's Her Name" IS NOT Part of the syndication package though.

Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I knew one of them wasn't in syndication, but I always assumed it was "What's The Name," because of the musical number at the end.

Honeymooners on WPIX 11 is what I grew up with.

It's great that it will be back on, though I would prefer it was on at midnight or 11:30.

I wish they would stick The Odd Couple right before it, that would really take me back to days of old.

Glad to see there's still love for The Honeymooners at channel 11. They're one of the few stations left that is willing to pay homage to its programming past from time to time. You really have to give them credit for finding a way to call attention to a vintage series and appeal to the sensibilities of a generation that gets programming "on demand." Stations have gone the viewer's choice route before as a one-time stunt, but how many have actually commited to a full year?

Even though I could watch any of those episodes any time I like on video,there is something nostalgic about watching them on the station where I first viewed them. I'd prefer Saturday night myself, but that's what video recorders are for, right?

dlemond: Odd Couple is coming back to weeknights at 2am starting the 17th, followed by The Jeffersons at 2:30a.

Frank Gannucci · 02-29-2008, 08:48 AM

After eviewing the post that I posted yesterday in this thread, I did some research and I found out that both "What's The Name/What's Her Name" are BOTH included IN syndication. "What's The Name" is attached to "Lawsuit" while "What's Her Name" is attached to "Champagne & Caviar."

"Songwriters" IS also in syndictation. I remember recording this episode from WPIX in 1997. (Yes, despite the fact that Ralph & Ed sing a sing that was made before the epsiode was made called "My Love Song To You", this episode is shown in syndication.)
