Yes! Last minute changes!!

September 23rd, instead of another Mama-thon, we are getting a GROWING PAINS marathon! Why? Because on September 25th it's joining the lineup! It will air Monday-Friday (I think) from 9:00 to 10:00 P.M.

Also joining the lineup, for Friday's only, starting September 15th are The Monkees and The Partridge Family! They will air at 6:00 and 6:30 P.M., replacing Bonanza which is relegated to Mon-Thurs.

So, it's better than it was before but I still want The Wonder Years and Alice!

^ I'm liking the new changes (especially Growing Pains), but PLEASE, add The Wonder Years and Alice! Those are two of my favorite sitcoms of all time!

And I just love Mama's Family. I actually watched both of the Mama episodes on "I" last night.

I watch Doc every night...even though they're reruns. And my mom loves Diagnosis Murder.

With the new season starting on the other networks however, I'll be checking out the first run shows for a few things I watch.

So, basically, things are happening exactly as they were predicted: gradual change over time. Looks like two or three shows will be joining each month.

As long as I get my "Alice" and some other assorted WB goodness (ahem, Eight is Enough, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, Flamingo Road, ahem), I will be A-OK.

Last minute changes!

Growing Pains has been pushed back; it won't debut September 23rd after all.

Charlie's Angels instead will take the 9:00PM timeslot, Mon-Fri, starting September 25th. It launches on September 23rd and September 24th with a three hour marathon both nights, to celebrate it's 30th Anniversary.

I love Charlie's Angels ... and Growing Pains ... so ... lol.

I think Growing Pains will probably debut in October. And don't forget, The Monkees and The Partridge Family will air Friday's at 6:00 and 6:30PM starting NEXT Friday, the 15th.

I'm so ... annoyed!

Ugh.

'i' will add "Welcome Back, Kotter" to it's Friday night lineup starting October 6th. It'll air at 7:00 and 7:30pm, replacing Green Acres for just Friday nights. A launch marathon will air October 14th.

Now, I'm HAPPY about that, but I'm pissed at the next part. Instead of adding Alice ... Growing Pains ... Wonder Years ... we get "Amen", the late 80s sitcom starring Sherman Hemsley and Clifton Davis.

It's a good show and Hemsley is great in it, but it ALREADY AIRS ON TVONE!

It'll have a launch marathon on Saturday, October 28th.

Ugh.

Oh, it will replace Green Acres starting Monday, October 30th. Another ugh.

As for the Saturday marathons?

10/7 - The Monkees

10/14 - Welcome Back, Kotter

10/21 - The Partridge Family

10/28 - Amen

But what IS interesting about "Amen" is that it's NOT a Sony show ... and it's NOT a Warner Brothers show. It's Universal ... did "i" strike another deal with another distribution company?

And again ... why no Facts of Life? Diff'rent Strokes? Wonder Years? Growing Pains? Alice?

Nope. We get Amen.

Pissed I tell ya!

It's a good show and Hemsley is great in it, but it ALREADY AIRS ON TVONE!

And how many people actually get TV One? WBK is already on AmericanLife. CA is already on HDnet. Putting those three shows on I gives them the exposure that they all deserve. IMO.

Charlie's Angels instead will take the 9:00PM timeslot, Mon-Fri, starting September 25th. It launches on September 23rd and September 24th with a three hour marathon both nights, to celebrate it's 30th Anniversary.

That was probably a typo, but the marathon nights are Friday the 22nd and Saturday the 23rd. The episodes they're gonna show are...

I would love for them to add Different Strokes. Since none of the cable shows aire it, it could be part of a great classic line up.
