Nothing interesting there except maybe PJ. Great thing about this station is that unlike the US TV Land, they don't butcher shows down to 22 minutes.

[Clint Eastwood Fan]

I wish the U.S. version would pick up some of those shows.

[Mister Ed]

YEY! I can't wait to watch the complete Dallas series. Last time they stopped in the middle of Season Five. Any word on which shows are leaving? Remington Steele? Perry Mason?

[Jenya]

The only problem with TV Land Canada is any new shows they add, usually only lasts for 6 months. Maybe these will stay longer, since CHUM Ltd. just got bought up by Bell Globemedia Inc.

DALLAS shows on Soapnet. Right now it is the first season showing. This is abt the sixth time it has be rerun on Soapnet. Is Soapnet available in Canada?

"ADVENTURES IN RAINBOW COUNTRY"? That show is already on DejaView!

As if that dumb show could use another broadcasting on another classic TV channel!

No, we don't get SOAPnet.

I think TV Land Canada and DejaVu are both owned by the same companies so that show will probably leave DejaVu, if i'm right.

Mork and Mindy, The Andy Griffith Show and The Addams Family are just a few shows that didn't last for more than 6 months. Only The Brady Bunch, Mary Tyler Moore and Happy Days are still airing.

TV Land Canada is (was until yesterday) owned by CHUM Television. Bell Globemedia Inc. now owns CHUM. DejaView is owned by Canwest-Global Broadcasting.

Thats right! I sort of remember The Addams Family. I hope they add some new shows, I'm sick of their current plan.

And just like The Addams Family, a lot of their other "New" shows don't last very long. They sure like airing the Canadian shows to death, though.

HAPPY DAYS

New Seasons – Daily at 3:30pm ET / 12:30pm PT

Lucky Canada! Been waiting for Dallas to aire in the U.S. - was on for a while but hoping to get all seasons. Think it would be profitable so hopefully a station will pick it up soon!

You're responding to a very old thread, which I doubt pertains to what TV Land Canada is probably airing in 2009.
