"I" (formerly Pax) announces new schedule!

First off, I was told that the reason only TWO, yes TWO shows from two libraries that have hundreds of shows, are going up is so that 'i' can transition itself slowly without totally alienating their current viewers (um ... what viewers? :lol: ).

Anyway,

6pm is still Bonanza

7pm is Green Acres

8pm is Mama's Family

9pm is Doc or whatever the hell i airs now

10pm is Diagnosis Murder

What a disappointment!

I love both Green Acres and of course Mama's Family, but both are already airing on other networks. What a waste :rolleyes:

I know! I was pissed too. But I now hear that each month we'll see new shows added, so there's still hope.

And they'll have a kids block, of NBC/Telemundo programming, either from 7am-9am or 4pm-6pm starting in the fall.

And supposedly, the lineup will eventually expand to 1pm-11pm.

But here's the lineup, as I was mistaken about an hour of Green Acres. It's actually:

6PM - Bonanza (Tues & Thurs only)

7PM - Green Acres

7:30 - Family Feud (I has a contractual obligation to air it, at least for now)

8PM - Mama's Family (Mon-Thurs)

8:30 - Mama's Family (Mon-Thurs)

9PM - Doc or whatever the hell that they air

10PM - Diagnosis Murder

I love that they have Mama's Family on, since I don't wake up in time to watch it on TBS anymore. :)

My roommate loves Diagnosis Murder. :blink: It's on the Hallmark Channel too though :rolleyes:. Green Acres is on TVLand, as is Bonanza (which they show ALL THE EFFING TIME on that channel anyway).

Umm...what transition are they referring to? Who even watched PAX? Even my grandma didn't watch that channel. I used to watch Supermarket Sweep when I was like 10 and we didn't have cable.

I hope that they add the Wonder Years and Alice soon. Like 8 years ago, there was another station that was very similar to "I" that was on network TV. They showed a lot of cool shows from the 60s and 70s. I always wondered what happened to it.

I'm glad that the "I" network affiliate in my hometown of Greenville,NC WEPX-TV 38 is being changed over to a MyNetworkTv affiliate on Sept.5,2006.The "I" network schedule is real crappy and I can't wait for the telenovelas on MyNetworkTv to air.May the "i" network die a painful death and it can't come soon enough for me.The I network is losing money anyway so why not do away with the network and let MyNetworkTv get a majority of "I"s remaining affiliates.

Okay, I didn't realize that they only showed programs between 6PM and 11PM b/c last night, when I watched the channel, I searched the schedule and it was all infomercials between 11PM until 6PM the following day. Obviously, the network is losing money. I wonder how long it's going to last. Unless they get a lot more programming on, I don't see the channel lasting long. They should just change them to MNTVs.

The only show I like on it is Mama's Family, and they only show it 4 days a week. The rest are meh, especially Doc and that show about the blind detective woman. :rolleyes:

I think PAX was pretty much delaying the inevitable by changing to the "I" network to slow up the demise of the failing network.Pax was okay in the beginning and then it turned to mush.The remaining 60 affiliates of "I" network should switch over to MyNetworkTv affiliates.The CW would almost have a fit MNTV aquiring that many stations off the bat.

Unless "i" starts adding more shows, I agree the local affiliates should just be sold to MNTV.

But an update:

Starting September 4th, Diagnosis: Murder will air Mon-Thurs now at 9PM. Doc will air on Fri at 9PM.

The new Kids Block begins Saturday, September 9th. Shows like "Veggie Tales," "Dragon," and "Babar" will air. The Saturday block will repeat on Fridays from 3PM-6PM.

And on September 11th, Bonanza will air Mon-Fri at 6PM (instead of just a few days).

The 70s series "Kung Fu" will find a place on the schedule come October. No other word yet, but it will get a launch marathon on Saturday, September 30th.

And here are the upcoming Saturday marathons (that air 8-11PM)

8/26 - Green Acres

9/2 - Sue Thomas F.B.Eye

9/9 - Bonanza

9/16 - Doc

9/23 - Mama's Family

9/30 - Kung Fu

And to add, the Mama's Family launch marathon did GREAT for "i", averaging about 1 million viewers, which for "i" standards is "great".

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
