COMING IN JUNE: Benson 48-hour launch marathon weekend June 3-4; TV Land Top 10 Episodes: Spin-offs (6/7) and TV Weddings (6/14); TV Weddings Week June 12-16, and more...

[Pavan]

Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie will expire at the end of May and will not be renewed. Efftcive June 1 they will be off the line-up. Details will be posted in the June thread.

[gilligan fanatic]

I have never really liked Bewitched or the Addams Family, but I do watch Jeannie from time to time. That is going to leave a big space in the morning line up.

[clj2]

Oh, no!!!!! I absolutely loved the current morning lineup. I had no clue BW, IDOJ, and TAF expired this year. I knew Green Acres, Munsters, and Happy Days expired, but I had zero clue about those three. *Hopefully* someone else will pick them up.

[JT]

Things won't be the same without IDOJ, AF and "Bewitched," but I'm holding out hope for something new and exciting to replace them.

[Pavan]

I guess a different direction. They seem to focus more on 70s and 80s sitcoms, hence because they do very well for them.
Addams Family is on still after May, it doesn't expire until later in the year, sorry about that.

[clj2]

Pav, do you know when Green Acres and The Munsters expire? I guess I should be taping them, because they probably won't renew those either.

[Pavan]

I think in the fall, can't give out exact months until the month comes.

[big bertha]

What is going to happen to the other older programs on tvland's lineup-I love Lucy, the Dick Van Dyke Show and the Andy Griffith Show? It seems like after next year, all the rest of the morning lineup will be gone. Tvland will have to bring in alot of new programming to fill the void. I can't even begin to imagine what they will bring in next. I hope it is good shows like Alice, Perfect Strangers,The Facts of Life and Different Strokes. It seems that today's audience just doesn't want to laugh anymore. I guess the good shows will be gone forever. Such a tragedy!! I guess I should be glad for the dvds of older shows that are out right now. Maybe on demand cable will become a reality and change the face of cable tv. Do you think Tvland will spin off into another network? A channel that just shows the older shows?
Knowing my luck my stupid cable provider wouldn't carry it. Well, I guess this is the end of the good shows. I guess we can start calling it Newtvland!!!

[EmoJoe]

TV Land is taking all of its old classic shows off and replacing them with 80s sitcoms. that kinda sucks, cause now they are going too close to N@N's era, and now we dont have a 50s/60s channel anymore.

[benjamoon]

to Bewitched and Jeannie

Is nothing being done about the 10th anniversary (besides commercials)?
