Why is AITF getting bumped these days? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I've noticed AITF getting more & more buried in TV schedules. This show used to be on TV Land alot not too long ago. Even though the show is extremely un-PC, it was still aired alot, even recently in the mid-2000s. It's one of those shows that got grandfathered with its dialogue. Could it be that it's un-politcal correctness is catching up with networks and advertisers??? Maybe the show stepped on some new toes of people running the networks nowadays.

I'm glad I have the DVDs to watch...

I miss All In The Family. I don't think a lot of people are offended by not being so P.C. But TV Land's programming is crappy right now because of dumb reality shows.

I don't think it does as well as the other Norman Lear shows like the Jeffersons, Good Times, and Sanfiord and Son. I think that's why those shows have multiple airings and AITF doesn't

Well I don't get it either. AITF is a magnificent show - 25 yrs ahead of its time. And I'm glad I have my DVDs too. So phooey on TVLand and all the other cable shmable stations that don't air it!

Chicago's MeTV used to air the show five nights a week and now they only show two episodes on Saturday. However, they still show fluff like Bewitched and Leave It To Beaver every afternoon.
