Members JackPeyton Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Why? Why cant she be celebrated and honored at this point instead of only after she dies. She is going to die, and it is going to be soon. She knows it, shes made everyone aware of it, and acting like it isnt happening isnt going to service anyone.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't know, it just seems...premature to me. It's wonderful to celebrate her life, and obviously it should be celebrated, but she's still here! She's not gone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I agree with JP. There's nothing wrong with honoring her. I bet she'd even be touched by it. She's going to be gone before we know it, and to me this just furthur shows how much people love her and she can see that while she's still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah, Not to mention ive seen many best of Rhoda marathons over the years on various networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 To me it shows what an impact she's made on people by doing this, and it's a way of saying "we love you" while she's still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I think it's nice mostly because she'll get to see what an impact she had on people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I wonder if TV Land will do something for her, I guess they might have done a one-off Rhoda marathon 10 years ago, but probably not today's TV Land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I guess if she was ever on Hot in Cleveland they would have shown that (how four talented comic actresses can be on such a generally unfunny show I can't guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 Does tv land have the rights to mtm or rhoada? Has Valerie ever been shown since the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't think they do, and TV Land is a waste these days ME TV is what TVLAND should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 TV Land used to do one-off marathons for shows they don't outright have the syndication rights to when someone beloved died. I recall they did a marathon of The Honeymooners a few years back when Art Carney died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't think they have the rights to either show. MeTV, I'm assuming, can air Rhoda as well as MTM, since they have MTM and Bob (and also had Remington Steele for a lot of last year). Valerie/THF aired on ABC Family a few years ago (early morning slot) and also had a one-off airing on TV Land during their immense Warner Bros. 50th Anniversary weekend (which also included Dallas, Falcon Crest, Knots Landing, Alice, Eight is Enough, Harry O, Sisters, and tons of other shows they were definitely not airing regularly). MeTV aired a promo for the special week last night, and I definitely look at it in a different light now. It's less about remembering her and more about "Hey, VH is amazing and a wonderful part of TV history. A event in her honor is long overdue."

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 They did at one point--I remember both being shown there for Nick at Nite's 20th anniversary in 2005, and of course both were on Nick at Nite together for years. When PAX was still a channel, The Hogan Family was shown there. Not sure about Valerie, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 11, 2013 Members Share Posted March 11, 2013 I don't remember the marathon for AC in 2003 when he died, but I do remember them showing a long-lost episode from the Jackie Gleason Show (where it was originally a sketch), a year later (I taped it). I suppose when Joyce Randolph goes, they'll do the same for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
