I notice they're airing TGG in the long-time slots that Lifetime had the show in, 9am, 4pm (well, it was typically 6PM but they moved to 4PM) and 11pm.

Lots of airings!

It's going to be odd to have Golden Girls on Hallmark, but a lot of the show's demographic have been moving over to viewing Hallmark lately. My mother watches a lot of 7th Heaven on there now. I haven't caught Cheers on there in a while but they sometimes lose their regular programming over the Holidays and bring it back later.

[Pavan]

Hallmark has edited February, so March could be edited a bit now. More details:

Hallmark has edited the March schedule somewhat because of the recent February changes:

And it's a very odd mix......Cheers on for only one overnight showing.....Lucy treated like she is some misfit......beware GG fans, I wouldn't expect that show to enjoy all those timeslots for long. Hallmark has a very itchy trigger finger.

[browneyes106]

I love the Saturday morning schedule of GG reruns. It will be fun to spend Saturdays watching GG.

[storrs19]

I remember when they were Odyssey and had shows like My Three Sons and The Muppet Show. I wish they would air Perry Mason every day (I mean the original B&W series). As for ILL and TGG, I have both complete on dvd so there is no reason for me to watch them on tv where they will be edited. I think Hallmark would be a good channel for shows like "That's Incredible" and "Real People". I also think "Different Strokes" and "Mr. Belvedere" would do well on here.

[Pavan]

Urgent change starting Monday:

Weekdays, effective Monday, March 9
8:00am Golden Girls (replaces I Love Lucy)
8:30am Golden Girls (replaces I Love Lucy)
2:00am Cheers (replaces I Love Lucy)
2:30am I Love Lucy (replaces Cheers)

So, yes, Lucy is just 2:30am weeknights now.

[catsrule]

talk about overplayed, Golden Girls will now be on SEVEN HOURS a day between Hallmark and WE.

[bliggenstrauff]

I've been enjoying watching Cheers on my tapes now that I can tape it again on hallmark

[Jude The Obscure]

Stupid Hallmark........why do they bother to obtain shows like Cheers and Lucy when they give them this sort of treatment?? And how long before they announce Golden Girls being removed so they can put back on LHOP and the Waltons....just watch folks, it'll happen.

[Jude The Obscure]

^You hope.....
