Our fall schedule blog posts barrage continues today with another fall schedule! Today we take a look at TBS Fall 2009, as they will add four new sitcoms to its weekday line-up. Three of them have been airing once a week, so there is only one new sitcom really.
The Office, My Name is Earl and
House of Payne are now also going to air in the regular weekday line-up, while
According to Jim joins the TBS schedule for the first time.
TBS will make its first batch of changes starting the week of Sept. 21. For this week only,
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will slide to the 8am hour replacing the second hour of
Saved by the Bell. In the 9am hour now for this week it will be an episode each of
Just Shoot Me and
Home Improvement. The TBS Movie continues to air at 10am, but this week will be its last week!
Yes, Dear moves to 12pm, sharing the hour with
Everybody Loves Raymond.
Home Improvement still airs in the 1pm hour for now, more on that in a bit. Then we get more
Everybody Loves Raymond in the 2pm hour, so this show goes from 5pm-6:30pm to 12:30pm & 2-3pm now. Then
House of Payne will join the line-up airing in the 3pm hour replacing
Yes, Dear.
The King of Queens remains at 4pm for now, more on that in a bit as well.
Friends now gets a full hour and moves to 5-6pm.
Seinfeld is now only a half-hour and at 6pm, leading into
The Office at 6:30pm.
My Name is Earl will air back-to-back in the 7pm hour. Primetime has blocks of
Family Guy on Mondays,
The Office on Tuesdays,
House of Payne/Meet the Browns on Wednesdays, with movies on Thursdays and Fridays. The late night line-up will have
Seinfeld in the 11pm hour on most days, with
My Name is Earl on Tuesdays.
Sex and the City remains at midnight with a movie following until blocks of
Steve Harvey Show and
Married...with Children airing after that until dawn. Lots of sitcoms, less movies, good!
Then starting the following week on Monday, Sept. 28, we get some more changes.
Fresh Prince is back in the 9am hour, with
Saved by the Bell getting its second hour back at 8am. The TBS 10am movie is now gone and we get all sitcoms now in the daytime, as
Just Shoot Me and
Home Improvement slide up to the 10am hour now and we get an extra sitcom hour as
Home Improvement and
Yes, Dear air in the 11am hour. Everything else is the same as the week of Sept. 21. But a few days later on Thursday, October 1,
According to Jim joins the TBS sitcom line-up!
According to Jim will air in the 4pm hour replacing
King of Queens. That show will slide to 1-2pm, replacing two episodes of
Home Improvement. Home Improvement will still air at 10:30am & 11am, so not to worry. Nothing is being replaced at all (well...except the movie) despite four new series coming to the regular schedule!
View the full TBS Fall 2009 schedule. Now it is still early, so we might have some changes, as always. I'm still not 100% sure what will happen on weekends after
According to Jim comes, but it'll likely be the same as it was prior to it coming. As always, stay with us for more!
Gospel Music Channel will be adding even more shows now to their schedule! First they added
Christy, Doc, and
Dr. Quinn to weekdays, then they went with some comedies in
Amen and
Good News on Mondays in primetime, now we get another comedy and another drama! Gospel Music Channel has acquired '90s sitcom
Sister, Sister and '90s drama
Promised Land. Yes, this means
Sister, Sister will be on THREE cable networks in BET, ABC Family and now Gospel Music Channel. WGN America also recently aired the Tia and Tamera Mowry comedy. The series premieres on Gospel Music Channel next Monday (Aug. 3) and will join the Monday comedy block with
Amen and
Good News. Sister, Sister will air back-to-back in the 8pm hour (encores at 12am), replacing two
Amen episodes.
Good News will remain at 9pm (encore at 1am) and
Amen is cut to just 9:30pm (encore at 1:30am).
Sister, Sister will also air Saturdays in the 6pm hour as well starting Aug. 8!
Amen has gained some more slots airing Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays back-to-back in the 7pm hour. So losing some slots on Mondays wasn't a bad thing!
Good News will also air Saturdays at 7pm leading into
Amen.
Gospel Music Channel has also acquired the drama
Promised Land. It lasted three seasons on CBS from 1996-1999 and was a spin-off of
Touched by an Angel. They will air the series Wednesdays at 8pm with an encore at 11pm starting Aug. 5.
I like how they are adding actual series now. We will as always keep an eye on then and if we have any more news, we will certainly let you know!
