Sony owns the rights to Norman's shows. Right now, Antenna TV has on a lot of his shows (since they have access to the Sony library)...AITF, Good Times, Maude, Sanford & Son and they're starting The Jeffersons and One Day at a Time next year.

I'm thinking we're going to see more of the stuff owned or distributed by CBS Productions, Paramount, Desilu, etc., since they mention Star Trek, I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, Happy Days, Cheers...all of which are owned by one of those. I wonder how it'll affect stations like Me-TV who are currently airing a lot of those shows. And they say it won't be like a consistent schedule....curious to see how that will work out. On the one hand, you don't get bored with the same reruns recycling so soon (like Antenna TV) but then if it's a show you like, you want to know when it's going to be on!

I love seeing these new retro diginet substations pop up. I'm still hoping one day someone will devote a substation to classic soaps.

Daytime or nighttime?

When I read this I immediately started to hope to see some classic ATWT, GL or even Y&R or some other daytime drama that aired on CBS. Then I remembered how often soap fans get our hopes dashed (Soap Classics, anyone) and then immediately decided not even to think about for another moment.

If it happens, I'd be over the moon but I'm not holding my breath for that one.

I forget about Aspire.

I wish I got Retro again, just for the Doctors, but I can watch the uploads so it's not a big loss to me.

I haven't seen a schedule yet for Decades.

I wish these networks would start adding soaps, even the primetime ones ... I'd love an over the air all soap network. Someone needs to make that one happen, lol

    • Rewatching/binging THE X-FILES Seasons 1 and 2 (almost done). So much fun re-experiencing, especially re-discovering some of the monster-of-the-week stories. THE WEST WING Seasons 1 and 2 as well - so good to rewatch now with 20 years more life experience and understanding. ALSO.... lol FOOTBALLERS' WIVES Season 3, which is just as bonkers as I remember and so so so so fun. I had forgotten about that iconic season cliffhanger. Good times. Excited to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 since I remember so very little about them. Hope you've been enjoying!
    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together
