Members slick jones Posted September 1, 2017 Members Share Posted September 1, 2017 I love this. I'd add Hill Street Blues in, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted October 22, 2017 Members Share Posted October 22, 2017 THANK YOU, MeTV, for giving me Hawaii Five O! I'm in heaven! I record them and watch on the weekend! Then I see the eppies are on Amazon for a fee, of course. I bought Draw Me A Killer yesterday because I love this eppy but it's in S6. We're only on S2.

Members KMan101 Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 January 2018 schedule. Lots of changes. http://antennatv.tv/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Antenna_TV_1stQ_2018.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 Wow. Just glancing at it, I'm not sure how I feel about it. ALL of the Norman Lear sitcoms are gone except for MAUDE, which is a shocking option for the one to keep. I don't think they'll be gone for too long, honestly. It's a huge mistake to just wipe them out of primetime in favor of shows that have never really performed that well for them (except for TC, which IMO plays best in late mornings and post-primetime). I figured with them getting rid of the standard back-to-back airings, they'd hold on to at least AITF and S&S while bringing in new stuff. Unless they've lost the rights to the Lear shows, I see them coming back by March. I'm not happy with ALICE's timeslots at all. THE HOGAN FAMILY has some good spots. I'm very happy to see that Johnny Carson is slowly getting a push later. You know that's a goner once the contract is up! The whole thing just seems like a big hot mess that they just slapped together. Lots of great shows, but very confusing scheduling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 That was my thought on it. A mess. But lots of great shows. Agreed it's interesting that, of all Lear shows, they kept Maude, which had been banished to like once a week in a late night slot. I do wonder if they've lost the rights to the Lear shows. But I'm OK with a break because they've run continuously and they're also all on other channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yeah, as much as I love them, they were due for a break. I'm just hard-pressed to determine which shows from the same-ish era would be worthy replacements. IDK, I guess it's good that these other shows are getting a shot at holding primetime together, but I just don't think this will be good for them in the long run. Whenever a new Antenna schedule comes out, I always get this strong desire for them to pick up It's a Living, which I've never ever actually seen.

Members Soaplovers Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 It's a Living... ah.. I'd love for that to return on a schedule. 80s primetime schedule...

Members SFK Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 I spent the evening with Antenna TV the other day, WH!!, 227, S&S, TJ... When the opening titles for GT began to roll, it hit me that FIVE black sitcoms were being aired in a row on a network that was not BET, TVOne, Centric, Bounce, et cetera. This may not seem like a big deal to many people, "good shows are good shows, people are people..." Nah. It's actually a VERY big deal and I applaud AntennaTV. If the big four had embraced representation long ago, we never would have found the need for networks like those I mentioned. When I saw that they were marathoning the entire series of AITF, I felt physically overwhelmed, lol. It just seemed like... a lot. I love AITF, but it's a main course if you know what I mean, it's a show that I need breaks from. It's heavy. But I guess this is their farewell for now. I doubt I'll tune in at all for the marathon. I'm trying to think if there's an episode or a guest star I've been meaning to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 Nah Carson ain't going anywhere, does too good of ratings. I wonder if the contracts expired for the Norman Lear shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 I wish Antenna would do more of what TV Land used to do, airing random short run series just for kicks. Thankfully there's the Internet and generous uploaders. Shows like Filthy Rich, Madam's Place, I've always depended on the kindness of strangers. There were a ton of shows in first run syndication, I wonder if they'll ever be seen again. Some I remember: Out of This World Harry and the Hendersons What a Dummy Starting from Scratch The Munsters Today The New Gidget The New Lassie I love watching Carson, never did as a kid. I thought there would be more episodes though. Last night's with Keshia Knight Pulliam, I felt like I had just watched it not long ago. Do we know why they don't air Ed announcing the guests?

Members dragonflies Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 I do know they've said they don't have rights to all episodes. Could be a rights thing with Ed McMahon too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted November 8, 2017 Members Share Posted November 8, 2017 That's what I was thinking, just seems like an odd/random detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted November 9, 2017 Members Share Posted November 9, 2017 Have Antenna's ratings ever been published anywhere? I'd be curious to see how Johnny does for them, and if it does do well, why are they pushing it to a later slot (though I do recognize that this was the show's regular slot in its original run). I always hoped The New Gidget would show up at some point to pair with the 60s show. A little two hour block on Saturdays and/or Sundays of those short-lived 70s/80s sitcoms would be excellent. Just run each show through once and then roll something else in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
