- Nick@Nite Summer of Favorites
Starts Monday, July 17, 2006
Mon-Fri 10p-2a and 2a-6a in July and August
NewsRadio and A Different World to premiere in marathons.
Nick@Nite welcomes News Radio to its roster with a “soft launch” during the Summer of Favorites marathon. “NewsRadio" explores office politics, relationships, and crises through a group of co-workers at WNYX NewsRadio, New York's #2 newsradio station. There’s the haggled news director, sniping anchor people, an ambitious supervising producer, the station's eccentric owner and a cast of others who make each broadcast an event not to be missed. News was never so fun and entertaining!
Dwayne, Whitley and even Denise Huxtable are among the different characters who converge on Hillman College to learn about life and themselves. It’s big laughs on campus at the fictional historically Black university as they struggle to make it through college while dealing with family, friends, and college-themed issues such as racism, fraternity pledging and on-campus romances. Tune in and see how it truly is “a Different World than where you come from”.

Ouch at Newsradio's timeslot.

Glad to see ADW!!

I will have to record NewsRadio because I want give it a chance since i like Workplace Comedies

[troopoleon8897]

wow real bad slot for newsradio...

[EmoJoe]

they might as well not even add NewsRadio -_-

and pissed: at MAY's latenight marathon...at least it's got a good weekend timeslot though.

i LOVE fresh prince, it's probably my favorite show on Nick@Nite now that WTB? is gone...but they could've at least given up one of the marathons for MAY/NewsRadio. it's getting 3 marathons, taking 1 away won't kill them.

[Adamantium]

I won't get mad at NewsRadio's timeslot, since I have most of the show on DVD. However, since NewsRadio's not been on TV in a while and A Different World is on Oxygen right now, they should be giving the primo timeslot to NewsRadio.

And what's with the hour blocks of Full House, Roseanne and Fresh Prince. Back in the day when N@N would add a show, it would (for the most part) get a nice slot early in their lineup, like from 9-11.

I too am curious to see how "Mad About You" is doing. I didn't think it would do well, but I'm kind of hoping it is.

[SBTB Geek]

What's up with N@N taking Lifetime's garbage? What's next "Frasier"?

[Pavan]

NewsRadio and A Different World were never on Lifetime, lol.

[EmoJoe]

and holy crap, who thought we'd ever see the day TCS would get only one marathon- and a LATENIGHT one at that?

ACQUISITIONS

Newsradio
Monday, July 17, 2 a.m. – 6 a.m., ET/PT
Will air in its regular timeslot of 4 a.m. ET/PT
Join Nick at Nite as it adds this comedy showcasing the hilarious antics at WNYX -- a whimsical #2 all news radio station in New York City -- to its lineup. Dave Nelson (Dave Foley) has just been brought in from Wisconsin as the news director by the station’s owner, Jimmy James (Stephen Root). A bit overwhelmed by his new job, Dave must also deal with his new co-workers who are rather eccentric and witty. The staff includes: on air-anchors Bill (Phil Hartman) and Catherine (Khandi Alexander) who are constantly sniping at each other, Matthew (Andy Dick) an inept reporter, Beth (Vicky Lewis), a crazy secretary and Joe (Joe Rogan), the maintenance man. Rounding off the staff is Lisa (Maura Tierney), a smart and ambitious writer who actually should have gotten Dave’s job. The two end up beginning an on-gain off-again romance that becomes the hot topic of conversation among their friends and colleagues. The untimely death of Phil Hartman led the show to cast Jon Lovitz in 1998 as Max Lewis, a new on-air personality.

A Different World

Will air in its regular timeslot of 10 p.m., every Saturday and Sunday
Nick at Nite welcomes this ensemble comedy to the network beginning Wednesday, July 19 with a marathon from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. ET/PT.

Denise is constantly trying to adjust to the changes of living away from home on her own as well as deal with her roommates Jaleesa (Dawnn Lewis), a young divorcee and Maggie (Marisa Tomei), a free-spirited and naïve girl who also happens to be one of the only white students on campus. Other characters in the series include Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy), a rich Southern belle; Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), a nerdy but fast-talking New Yorker, his best friend Ron Johnson (Darryl Bell) and Walter Oakes (Sinbad), who was the dorm director. There were various changes after the first season when Lisa Bonet left the series. Several new characters were added, such as: Kim Reese (Charnele Brown), a pre-med student; Mr. Gaines (Lou Myers), the cafeteria cook; Col. Taylor (Glynn Turman), the campus ROTC commander; Freddie Brooks (Cree Summer), an environmental activist and Lena James (Jada Pinkett), a feisty freshman from Baltimore. The series also gave more prominence to the romantic relationship of Dwayne and Whitley, who became the show’s main stars and who eventually married.

Nick at Nite also produced Hi-Jinks, the network’s hidden-camera series in which adults play good-natured pranks on kids of all ages, which returns to the network with new episodes in July 2006. Last May, Darlene Westgor was crowned “The Funniest Mom in America” when the network aired the very first Nick at Nite’s Search for the Funniest Mom in America. Rubi Nicholas was selected as this year’s winner of Funniest Moms 2, a five-part reality series which aired this Spring.

Well my N@N days are over. First it was too much of TCS and now they are overdoing it with Fresh Prince. They should limit the shows to one marathon per week and make room for other shows that arent show on other channels. I miss the good ole days when they had a variety and not the same shows everyone else seems to have.
Guess WTB wasnt doing very well.

While, I agree with you, it would be way to expensive to lease out a bunch of shows for just two months, however there is a simple way to make it not so over used...

Full House 9-10 Week Long (12 Episodes a week, HiJinks 9:30 on Tuesdays and Sundays)
Mad About You - Sundays (16 Episodes a week)
Murphy Brown - Mondays (16 Episodes a week)
Roseanne - Tuesdays (16 Episodes a week)
NewsRadio - Wednesdays (16 Episodes a week)
The Cosby Show - Thursdays (16 Episodes a week)
A Different World - Fridays (14 Episodes a week)
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (14 Episodes a week)

and Yes WTB wasn't doing very well and that was known but it left cause its contract ran out

IT doesn't matter for me since I taped NewsRadio when it was on in syndication in May of 2000 and on A&E from October 2000-Feburary of 2001. I have all 97 episodes of the show and it has no credit crunches.
