- NFL Game of the Week - Produced by NFL Films
Saturdays at 6PM starting Sept. 15
Highly-Acclaimed Weekly NFL Films Series Premieres on ION Television Saturday, September 15 with Giants-Cowboys Week 1 Match-up
ION has secured the rights to air the NFL Films production, “NFL Game of the Week,” for the 2007 season. The highly-acclaimed series will premiere on ION Television’s nationwide broadcast network at 6:00 PM ET on Saturday, September 15, with the Giants-Cowboys game from Kickoff Weekend, which Dallas won 45-35. A new episode will air each week of the 17-week NFL regular season.
“NFL Films’ ‘NFL Game of the Week’ has been a must-see for football fans for years,” said Howard Katz, Chief Operating Officer of NFL Films. “We are pleased that fans will watch this season on ION Television.”
Each week of the NFL season, “NFL Game of the Week” showcases that week’s best game in a one-hour program, and tells the story of the game that viewers didn’t see on the original broadcast. Presenting the action from a wide variety of angles, including specially-shot game footage, pre-game and post-game commentary and previously unheard sideline sound from players and coaches, Game of the Week brings fans closer to the action than ever before.
NFL Films President Steve Sabol, a 36-time Emmy® Award-winner, will continue to host the series, which premiered in syndication in 1965. It has aired on NFL Network since 2003.

Coming in 2008:
As part of its agreement with the NFL, ION Media Networks also has secured the rights to air a brand-new series from NFL Films, entitled “Stories of the NFL,” which will take a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of NFL players when they’re not on the field. Using NFL Films’ original music, candid interviews, voluminous archives and award-winning cinematographers, these half-hour episodes will “reveal the hidden gems of the NFL.” The season of 21 original programs will begin airing on ION Television in February 2008.

You really cannot be serious with this. We have been waiting for almost a month for this schedule. We've been talking about it's expansion, what shows will be new, what shows will come back, and what timeslots will be filled, and all we get is the same schedule we've had, just worse!?!?!?!?

First, still no expanding of hours. Must I say more? Second, now we only get The Wonder Years 3 days of the week, because Tuesday is filled with more infomercials, just modernized. Third Designing Women and Diagnosis Murder are still on the schedule, while we could have gotten shows like Alice, Amen, and Growing Pains back.

To me, it just counds completely like ION is afraid of axpanding their hours. Up to now, they've been relying on thier infomercials, and they are obviously making money, so they don't want to take those away for more ours of "real" programming. I am losing faith real fast in this network.

ION September is not their fall, relax.

So October is?

Sorry, I get worked up sometmes. They could have at least given us something new for September. And I do hate the idea of Firebrand TV. It makes no sense to add that in there just for the month.

Pavan · 08-07-2007, 11:12 AM

October is likely their fall. See the blog. The line-up from 6-11pm is working, so why change it in September? Firebrand TV doesn't start until the last week of September...I think that is the start of their fall.

So I see DW is doing well in that Old Alice slot. So maybe it was just the show itsel and not the actual timeslot.

That really blows any shot of getting a first season of Alice on DVD. ANyways, we're really seeing a lot of Designing Women this fall. I'm sure ION will take it off in October, since it moves to TVLand then. So, at least as of now we have one open slot in October.

I want to get into DW but the 7pm timeslot doesn't work. I wish Mama's Family was at 7pm and then DW could lead right into Who's the Boss

clj2 · 08-07-2007, 11:45 AM

Ugh, I see 6-9 is still the same. Is Diagnosis Murder EVER going to leave? Does the contract run into infinity? LOL! It needs to at least be reduced to weekends or something. Green Acres or Bewitched should air from 6-7 and Silver Spoons or Perfect Strangers from 8-9. Maybe shift Mama's Family back to 7-8 or something, and leave 9-11 alone. With Desgning Women coming to TV Land there is really no need for it. I just can't get in to it.

catsrule · 08-07-2007, 01:34 PM

I hope Firebrand TV bombs. Couldn't ION preempt it on Tuesday? If The Wonder Years is down to three days in the 10:00 slot they could at least air it Saturdays at 6:00.

clarkkent · 08-07-2007, 03:27 PM

I think Who's the Boss? and Wonder Years should stay put. (Maybe the studios who release dvds should look into this and see that people really are interested in these shows and release them on dvd) They definitely need to get rid of Diagnosis Murder ( SOOO BORING). It's been on forever and it even airs on Fridays while the rest on the schedule is pre-emted for crappy movies. I do not care at all for Designing Women and Mama's Family (THEY ARE NOT FUNNY). Where is Perfect Strangers? As far as this new FIREBRAND is concerned, who the hell wants to watch that? And get rid of that stupid and totally non entertaining BODOGFIGHT as well.

Hopefully Diagnosis Murder will go away in October. I still don't get why it's been on so long. The show doesn't fit the rest of the lineup, and has the 6pm slot, which, in my opinion, is the worst. How well can it possibly be doing?

I think the return of "Green Acres" would be a perfect fit to ION's afternoon schedule(and there are lots of OTHER 1960's shows that ION could air ,or maybe even returning"Amen","Alice","The Partridge Family",and"The Monkees",Why did they cancel "Green Acres",""The Partridge Family"and "The Monkees"),and replace it with that "Moral Court"thing (which WASN'T around for too long-and did anyone watch it?)and "Diagnosis Murder"?
