Why didn't Viacom buy the last four seasons of "Happy Days" and "The Love Boat"? Thanks

What are you talking about? Nick At Nite showed the last episode of Happy Days. The two parter where Fonzie adopts Danny and Joanie and Chachi get married.

"The Love Boat" is split into two syndication packages: the first six seasons are in package one, and the last three seasons are in package two. Stations usually buy one or the other. I remember WWOR showed the second package in the early 90s, and I was always disappointed that they never showed any of the good (relatively speaking) episodes.

But TV Land only shows the first five seasons! I wish they bought the other package too. I wanna see Julie's replacement and that guy from HD as a regular photo guy.

And don't forget: Marion Ross from "Happy Days" as the captain's new love interest, Emily (later his wife), and Terri Hatcher as one of the Love Boat Mermaids!
