I agree...Baywatch has NO place on TVLand, but then again, neither do half the shows presently on TVLand. That channel has gone to hell in a handbasket in the last year. And now they are adding M*A*S*H at the first of the year. Who the hell cares? I don't. They are constantly rearranging their schedule, and removing some of the more popular old tv shows. They are about to lose me completely as a viewer.

Well, "Baywatch" was only for a weekend marathon. TVLand didn't acquire the rights to it. Spike already had the rights, they were running out, so TVLand aired a full weekend of mainly 1989-1995 episodes as a way to send it off. Of course, Spike ended up renewing it and aired it again for a few months. I wish they'd bring it back, and in an afternoon slot (around 3ish). I was really started to revisit it when they suddenly yanked it off again.

I only watch Mama's Family on i, but I definitely see why the network is doing so well. The only show I watched on PAX was Supermarket Sweep...and that was only if I was really bored.

I've never seen Baywatch on TVLand...I remember them doing the weekend of it, but that was the only time it was mentioned. As weird as it seems, some people consider shows from the 90s to be "old." I don't agree with it, but I understand. I remember last week watching an episode of Seinfeld that mentioned JFK Jr., and thinking that that episode was now outdated, even though it was made in the mid-90s. :blink:

I don't like how some shows are on all the time, and others aren't. Shows like Leave it to Beaver, Bonanza, and Gunsmoke are on all the damn time!! TVLand used to show Maude and Soap, but they stopped a while ago. I was really bummed out b/c you really can't see them anywhere else. I know that they were featured onDemand on Comcast.

Maybe TVLand should have a second station, one for shows from the 50s and 60s, and another for the 70s and 80s. It must be popular. That's one of the only stations that my family watches.

What's the point of reality shows on TVLand anyway?! The purpose of this show was to air everything that was "too old" for Nick At Nite.

I also feel in terms of "aging" itself, Nick at Night aged itself way too much. It just feels odd having 90's shows like WINGS and FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR on Nick At Nite. What's next? FRIENDS and SEINFELD?!

I'm just not fond of cable networks that veer off the original intended course(VH1 Classic, THIS MEANS YOU!).

It would be fun if the i network acquired the rights to NightTracks or old, obscure music videos to air on Friday and Saturday Nights.

I'm definitely part of the 21% growth! Especially now that everything on the big networks is in re-runs, I'm watching Growing Pains and Mama's Family every night.

I only have one (well, two) complaints about "I" - the neverending infomercials, and the super-cheesy commercials that are geared to 80 year olds. :rolleyes: I'm hoping if "I" keeps growing, air time will get more expensive, and the cheesy commercials will be out. :huh:

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
