This sucks that Growing Pains is gone from both ION and Nick at Nite. (1:00 AM doesn't count.) Moral Court sounds interesting, too bad it's on against 7th Heaven.

Not happy about Growing Pains getting the ax, but I certainly give a "hell, yes!" for Alice finally airing!

How was Growing Pains doing in the ratings, for both networks? The show has proven before that it doesn't do well in syndication/cable, but I could never figure out why, since it was a top rated show back in the 80's. That is a shame, especially since it is being replaced by Amen. I was really enjoying the show on both networks, so I am very disappointed.

Default Once again-the shaft

Gee just when I was getting use to seeing Kojak again, it gets replaced by yet another network showing movies that you can rent. I was really hoping to get to the second season of Kojak since it obviously isn't coming out on dvd.

I find it strange that Growing Pains isn't doing well in syndication. A few years ago when it was on the Disney Channel everyday my kids never missed it, they would have their friends over everyday to watch it. I guess maybe it just gets old since it hasn't been hard to find the past few years.

I thought Growing Pains was doing well for ION, but guess not anymore...who knows. I know Mama's and Diagnosis Murder pulls in solid numbers for them.

This is GREAT!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see what Alice is like and maybe I'll even give The Wonder Years another try (I've seen it and wasn't really too thrilled). Great to see Amen back and I'll watch Moral Court and see what it's like. Even though I like both shows, Green Acres is on TV Land and Growing Pains on N@N, so at least they're airing somewhere, unlike the new shows they're bringing in (well Amen is on TV One, but not a lot of people get that channel). Maybe this is one step closer to them expanding, giving some other shows a try. I'm sure Growing Pains and maybe Green Acres will return once it's entirely expanded.

I've never even seen or really heard anything about BattleStar Gallactica, so I don't know what to think on that one. Who owns the rights to it? Just a wild guess..Universal?

Also, I wonder if the poll on ionline.tv will be updated with some of the shows on it coming.

Yes, Battlestar Galactica is a Universal-owned show. Alice is a great show, and finally is back on TV, same for Wonder Years. They just need to add Perfect Strangers now.

And when they expand, I can see them bringing back Growing Pains at least for like a mid-afternoon block maybe?

Got to give Ion some credit - by April 2nd they will have showed all the Growing Pains episodes at least once. They could have swapped it with another show a long time ago , but chose to wait.

Probably because no one on that show is still widely recognizable, (accept for Kirk Cameron to Christians). I guess that might be why FP does high ratings on Nick@Nite (or is treated like it does).

Disney Channel bought the show basically for the Luke episodes during Leo's Titanic days, he doesn't appeal to that channel's Tennybopper base anymore.
