COMING IN SEPTEMBER: THE COSBY SHOW AND SCRUBS

Good to see Murphy and Mad About You are still on the schedule, at least for now-LOL. The online games sound interesting.

BOO what a lousy show Scrubs is not and will never be a classic despite TVLand trying to make it one. Plus it already takes up good timeslots on two other stations.

[Pavan]

Well obviously Three's Company isn't coming back in August. No details yet.

[JulieSomoski]

I'd love to see Three's Company come back - Pavan, do you know why it's not on? Probably has something do with ratings or airplays (but didn't they just renew it last fall?)

[DSfan]

Another station acquiring Cosby Show? I hope it will not be as bad as when N@N would air it nonstop a few years ago.

Does this mean that TBS, WGN, etc will still have the rights to the show? Or, is it going to be exclusive to Nick at Nite and TV Land come August?

[Pavan]

Julie, I'm not sure what the situation is with Three's...but they could be saving up on it just in case something bombs this fall.

Cosby Show isn't a new acquisition, DSfan. All they are doing is borrowing it from Nick at Nite...it is the same deal (just like how Scrubs will be the same deal from Comedy Central, another sister station to TV Land). So it won't have an effect on WGN and TBS. TBS hasn't been airing the series for a while actually, but they still have rights.

The Cosby Show I really won't mind, although it is a pretty tired show (especially now that I own all 8 seasons on DVD-LOL) but Scrubs I can completely do without. It's the only NBC comedy I've watched in years, and not that bad of a show actually, but it's completely not for TV Land.

I don't hate "Scrubs", but I don't love it either. I'm only upset that it's coming to TV Land because it's still making new episodes and on reruns on two other channels (CW & Comedy Central). I know TV Land is going in a new direction, but that doesn't mean I'll ever accept it.

And as for "The Cosby Show"... give it a rest. N@N ran it into the ground, then TV Land aired it the same time N@N aired it. It's been aired enough. Let's go a lot longer without this show.

I'm looking forward to Myths and Legends!!

I am hoping that Three's Company comes back to TVLand soon!!!

-Myths & Legends Season 2
Premieres Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Wednesdays at 10:00pm ET/PT for 7 Episodes/Weeks
TV Land Myths & Legends promises to go behind the scenes to investigate the mysteries that have grown up around some of Hollywood’s most memorable stars, TV shows, films and music. In a town called the Dream Factory, where reality collides with wild imagination, there’s a blurred line between truth and fiction. Did heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne bite the head off of a live bat? Was Jayne Mansfield decapitated in her fatal automobile accident? Was a comic book based on the rock band KISS printed with the blood of the band members? Is J.Lo’s butt really insured for $1 billion dollars? We’ll explore these infamous mysteries and more on TV Land Myths & Legends Season 2 as we set the record straight about some of the most confused and confounding moments in entertainment history.

Encores:
Wednesdays at 10:30p & from 1a-2a
Thursdays from 9p-10p
Fridays from 7p-8p & at 12a
Saturdays from 1p-2p & 10p-11p
Sundays from 8p-9p
Episodes:
#201 - Pigskins, Bats & That Darn Cat
#202 – Rock Gods & Movie Stars
#203 – Curses, Corpses & Alice Cooper
#204 – Blood Evidence
#205 – Shatner, Sinatra & Oscar
#206 – Manson, Monkees & Mr. Ed
#207 – Bigfoot Phone Home

TV Land has delayed the second season of Myths & Legends to the fall. It will now launch Wednesday, October 8. Also...TV Land will launch another sitcom in October starting October 25. Care to take guesses? It is a '90s show and it isn't on any other cable network currently.

[PrettyinPink55]

Hmmm.........a 90's sitcom that doesn't air on any network right now.....can you give us another hint? LOL!
