COMING IN JANUARY: BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, JUST SHOOT ME AND MORE

[clj2]

I guess this is a decent schedule, if the current one carries over...not a very impressive launch for BH at all.

BTW, whatever happened to TV Land Originals? For a while they were coming out left and right, now, nothing.

[Judith's Eyes]

A little upset that it will go into The Jeffersons slot, but glad Beverly Hillbillies is coming on TV Land, if only TV Land can get rid of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition in favor of That Girl or The Facts of Life.

[Pavan]

The Beverly Hillbillies will get proper airings in January. December is just a sneak peek. The show has always done well for them. Dec. 22 marathon is probably an anniversary stunt. I'll know more this week.

The Brady Bunch will remain a morning show and air sometime between 9am-12pm for the foreseeable future.

No new TV Land originals until January when High School Reunion launches. A TV Land original special is coming Nov. 16 about the top 50 TV icons.
Just Shoot Me also launches in January.

[rezny9@hotmail.com]

As I said before,BEWARE This year,,when TVLand returned "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family"to the schedule,they said "The people have spoken",and listened to we viewers...sort of.Anyway,they did,and the shows ARE back,but instead of airing these shows in one slot,and LEAVING THEM THERE,they have moved the shows to every slot imaginable,so no one who wants to watch them can find them.So it's a good thing that "The Beverly Hillbillies" are returning to TVLand,but don't be surprised if TVLand does the same thing they did to "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family"to "The Beverly Hillbillies".

[clj2]

Also, what happened to The Cosby Show? I thought it was transitioning from N@N to TV Land and was going to be on TVL entirely in April '08. Now it seems to be gone from TV Land and is barely airing on Nick. I wonder if the ratings were bad or something. This seemed logical with TV Land trying to focus on both recent shows and classic shows.

Remember we also get Murphy Brown, Mad About You, Scrubs, and Hogan's Heroes next year....does Viacom get The Nanny in 2008 or 2009? Whenever, I bet that will go to TV Land.

[thebloodyscot]

It'll be good to have Beverly Hillbillies on the channel, even though it's also on WGN. What'll really be good to watch is the Merrython, with shows that we haven't seen for a while.

[chris31989]

I'm happy for the Hillbillies. I watch it now on WGN in the morning, but I like that TVLAND has it (it can air anytime!), but I am upset they are not keeping the Lucy hour at 6PM after the 25th. They can drop any other airing, but I got used to it. Pavan, will Lucy still air at 6:30 in January?

[Pavan]

I don't have any details for January yet.

[JulieSomoski]

I'm guessing we shouldn't get used to the schedule. I'm sure TVland will have it changed by December. I believe they changed the September schedule 5 or 6 times.

Looking forward to the Bevery Hillbillies. I was expecting it to take Lucy's slots, since Lucy is on about 30 times a week lately. Too bad, though, it has to take The jefferson's slots on weekends . . .

Looking foward to the Merrithon. They have some good episodes, plus Wings and Highway to Heaven, which haven't been on in a while. Last year, though, they showed a few episodes of Murphy Brown at decent times. Too bad they're not showing it again this year.

[smokey45]

Beverly Hillibillies? Those show are too corny. I wonder how many viewer gonna watch it? Thumb down. Tvland problay has trouble getting the viewer to watch their network and remember they keep changing their mind alot I mean alot & they still havent change a bit.

But the only show I watch on Nick at Nite is Home Improvement that was it. I cant wait they have "Home Improvement Halloween show" it is very good and they has the best Halloween show.
and Christmas too.
