Nick-at-Nite's TV Land
May 28, 1997
|
|
Has anyone noticed that over the past few years, there seems to have been a rash of movies that were based on hit television shows from the 1960's? There have been films based on The Addams Family, The Brady Bunch, Flipper, The Beverly Hillbillies, and McHale's Navy. There is even one in the works for Green Acres (I wonder who will play Arnold Ziffel?).
Fortunately, for cybervisitors who have never experienced those fantastic shows, there are two places to see them. One is on the cable television channel Nick at Nite's TV Land, and the other is our site of the day called (what else) Nick at Nite's TV Land. This site is dedicated to those shows featured on the cable network, shows such as Mr. Ed, Hogan's Heroes, Petticoat Junction, Ed Sullivan, the list goes on and on. There is an incredible amount of information here, and it is presented in a game format, The Good, the Weird and the Wonderful. There is a variety of video and audio clips for download (called 40 Years in a Blender), as well as an up-to-date TV listing.
The only thing that would make this site better is to have the ability to watch the network itself. Like our cartoon page from yesterday, this site is filled with nostalgia in every corner. Enjoy the stop.
ADDENDUM:
This site is one of the sites featured in the new book called "Internet Family Fun: The Parent's Guide to Safe Surfing", by Bonnie Bruno and Joel Comm. They are residents of World Village (in fact, Joel is the Mayor), and have been working on this work for almost a year. It is an excellent reference for any parent who is computer-challenged, and whose kids aren't. In the coming weeks, I will be featuring sites from the book, to show the depth and wealth of information contained in it. It is available from World Village on-line, so visit the home page for details.

I enjoy Nick at Nite. My favorite shows to watch are The Cosby Show and Wings. However, I am not happy with your rescheduling of Wings at 2:30a.m. Seldom do I stay up that late, and personally I think it is a much better sitcom then Roseanne. I know I am just one person, but I wish that it could be rescheduled to an earlier time. Other than that, I really do like the programming and shows that you have on Nick at Nite.
Sincerely,
Neil
Please play more Andy Griffith, All in the Family, Cheers, Barney Miller, Coach and lessssss and less and less Roseanne.............Roseanne is not nearly as good as these other shows. I am seriously thinking of dropping my direct tv altogether due to your running Roseanne. She is bad news personally and show is not good.
would like to know just when WKRP in Cincinnati is on on TV LAND ...ive seen it on at wieredst times like 10p-midnite weedays sporadically couple weeks back as well as now afternoons on?weekends
IMy name is Scott Finney and i grew up with
all the TV land and Nick at Nite Shows from the past i just want to tell you that i like your
schedules of shows on TV
But when will you put Back Gilligan's island
at 5:00pm to 5:30pm I am always at work between 3:00 to 3:30pm when Gilligan's is on
and i always get off from work at 4:00pm
I love to watch Gilligan when I am eating dinner at 5:00pm
what happen to get smart, green acres and other old show like that
I realy like to watch TV Land with my Dad...he got me into Green Acres. I enjoyed watching it at 9:30. A few nights ago I couldn't find it. And still can't. What happened to it? I never watch TV Land but only when Green Acres is on....and its not........
I love watching shows like wings, roseanne(especially earlier episodes),who's the boss and three's company.And who's the boss and three's company are not aired nearly enough. Oh, and also all in the family. I find it hard going to bed with nick at nite.
There is over a thousand people looking for "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" to come onto TVLand for Father's Day. This would be a great day to start a classic show that alot of people are yearning to see again. James
I'm sick of Nick at Nite and Tvland's ruining of the very format that lured people like myself into viewership, good old classic television. I'd ditch Full House, Who's The Boss, The Cosby Show(which isn't special on Nick at Nite...You can realistically watch that show 9 times a day where I live. It's everywhere!), Roseanne and Macgiver. PLUS...NO MORE made by and for your network programming. IT IS BORING! Every since "Hi Honey I'm Home," way back, you all seem to think you have talent in creating your own programming. Look at your ratings when you air this stuff. I'll bet "Joe's Dirty Sock Planet" over on public access gets a better reading. Lose the "I can see that show on 5 other network" programming and return to the Nick at Nite and Tvland we all fell for in the beginning. I miss the following:
Lancelot Link Secret Chimp
The Monkees
Car 54 Where Are You
The Anne Sothern Show
The Patty Duke Show
Fernwood 2 Nite
America 2 Nite
Mr. Ed*
Sanford And Son*
All In The Family*
Laugh-Inn
Hee Haw(if you ever showed it)
The Dean Martin Variety Hour(If you ever showed that)
Mchale's Navy
AND Most Of All
THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS!!!!
On the kid show side I miss:
Mr. Wizard's World
You Can't Do That On Television
Today's Special
Pinwheel
and
Dangermouse
Quality programming is quality programming. You should never tamper with a system that works. I used to LOVE all these shows and watched them as an alternative to the dull programming you are now showing back when it was on network television. Being that some of us avoided those shows to see your better days of programming SHOULD tell you folks something. Those shows for the most part stink! Please reconsider what you are doing to these formerly fine channels. Beyond this, the old shows serve as an educational tool for younger people to learn what was considerred cool in other eras. I used to LOVE watching these old shows to get a glimpse on the past. It was so much fun.
If you read all that, it is VERY much appreciated!
Tony
Those asterisks indicated that these shows are on BUT at obscure times. Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RETURN OF GREEN ACRES, THE ADDAMS FAMILY AND THE CONTINUATION OF THE MUNSTERS AND LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. WITHOUT THESE GREAT OLD SHOWS, I'D NEVER WATCH YOUR CHANNELS! Full House is on right now and I see why we always used to turn the dial over to Nick at Nite back when that garbage was on. Talk about your fake, cheesy, sickeningly trying to be sugar coated, waste time television! Those are the types of shows that lead to the death of the sitcom and birth of reality television. I'm proposing this: a new show promoted as a lost program. Make it look just like some actual old program, sets, cars, clothing,dialogue and all...in black and white even. Get unknowns to star so no one suspects it's anything other than a show the networks passed on. Maybe do this for the 60's, 70's and 80's...Have every episode narrated by a "network official" who introduces us to the show and explains why it was passed on...I WOULD WATCH THIS! Heck, I'd write scripts for it! Who's with me? I'd love to work on something like this!
I love Nick at Nite but don't like some of the shows, whatever happend to the really good oldies that has meaning to Nick at nite! I keep hoping that Flipper will come back on.
Take out:
Cheers
Family ties
Mcgyver
Three's Company
Sanford and Son
and put some of the really good oldies back in like,
Lost in Space
Flipper ...can't find it on TV anywhere!
Gilligan's Island
My favorite Martin
Berverly Hillbillies
There is no oldie cartoons at all...
Kids shows:
Lamb Chops play along
Flintstones
Jetsons
Bugs Bunny..ect..
some of these shows are hard to find, Please put them back on Nick at Nite! I wish we would be able to have a Cartoon Channel with nothing but oldie cartoons, that would be cool!
Please leave the 80's shows out! and bring in lots of oldies..
Thank You!
I lovemost of the shows you put on. I for one love Roseanne, infact, I wish I could buy vidoes of all the episodes. Wings is another favorite, it's just on so late at night! I also like Threes Company, but not continuously. I would, however, like you to take a few shows off of the air. Like The Cosby Show and Cheers. If you brought back any show, than I would love for you to bring back I Love Lucy, that is my all time favorite show, and I cannot seem to find it anywhere! Gilligans Island would also be a great thing to bring back. But if you can, make sure you bring back Lucy!
I LIKE TO SEE 3 SHOW COME TO TV LAND CAN YOU PICK THEM UP. THET ARY GOOD SHOWS TO WATCH. 1. THE DORIS DAY SHOW 2. THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARRIET SHOW. 2. THE MOD SQUAD SHOW. I WOULD ME NICE TO SEE THEM SHOW ON TV LAND OK. I LIKE WATCH ON TV SHOWS LOT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I would love to see the Ozzie and Harriet show again. I recently bought a dvd of some of their old shows and asked my 15yr. old son to watch awhile. I really didn't think he'd like the show at all. Well, he loved it and asked me to buy some more of their dvds. Who figured! He has even gotten his friends into the Ozzmeister.
I am so sick of Full House,3's Company and Cheers.
A little bit is okay but Geezzz-zzz-e. Where is Courtship of Eddie's Father, Family Affair, Flipper, those were great!!! Green acres is great to see again. I enjoy the Addams Family, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and the Munsters, I am just getting my nieces and nephews into the old time classic's. Very little violence and super creative. Classic lover!
looking for fernwood 2nite. hope you broadcast the entire seris soon
i,whan,no,whan,flipper,come,back,tv,land
I like to see t.v show of Mchales navy
Roseanne is the best show on Nick at Nite...I've been following it all the way through from the beginning, and I hope they keep playing it through the end of the series to the last episode, because I've never seen it and after all this time I have to! PLEASE play the last episode of Roseanne!!!
I don't appreciate Rosanne and Fresh Prince being on so much. My favorites are Wings, which you must have dropped when you added Murphy Brown, and Who's The Boss which is on too late for a working person my age to watch. Why can't you put it on at 10 then I can watch and go to bed. I don't know why Rosanne and some other shows have to be on as much as they are when you have so much variety available. Please go back to some of the programming you used to air and leave off these crazy homenicked shows you are still coming up with.
I don't have many complaints. Just one... What did you do with "Who's The Boss?" I love that show. I looked forward to it every night. Now it has been removed altogether. Could you please at least replace one of the Rose Ann hours (2 episodes in a row.) with a "Who's the Boss" hour. I would greatly appreciate it. Other than that, I like Nick at Nite. I just miss my favorite show.

******* ANY SHOW can air for a Marathon and or Special ANY DAY at any time.
In Conclusion, I know its expensive to get rights to shows however my suggestion is money can be saved by NOT doing original Programming! The Schedule above should work because it gives those Modern Shows Weekdays. Families & others can enjoy OLD CLASSICS with thier FAMILIES on the Weekends!
P.S. Why making this suggestive schedule I kept ratings in mind. Also giving Viewers the chance to see his or her favorite program on TVLand!!!!!!
Thank You!!!!!!!!
I LOVE ROSEANNE! To tell you the truth, I was a little upset that you cut ROSEANNE down to put on Who's the Boss. Roseanne is the funniest show on television, still today. People who attack her personally need to remember that we are watching a television show, we don't know the whole story of what Roseanne has done behind the scenes. I find it sensless and pitty the person who has the decency to personally attack one of the funniest womens of the nation!
TVLand...your Chasing Farrah show is awful. She reminds me of a fat cow Anna Nichole wanna be, where do you people dig up these has beens???
I love Rosanne. Every night i watch Rosanne from 10 to 11 and then fall asleep. I wish that Rosanne would come out on all seasons on DVD cause i am in love with that show..keep on playing it cause i know that a lot of people love that show as well!! thanks for you consideration!
i love to watch rosanne! when the show was not in syndication, i didn't watch it. i didn't think i'd have anything in common with the characters since the show is about a white family. but the irony is that i have more in common with connors than the huxtables (my favorite show at that time). so nick at nite, whatever you do, don't get rid of rosanne! it's my favorite show on tv at the moment. i can't wait for the series to come out on dvd. thanks for introducing me to a wonderful show!
I watch Roseanne every night at 10pm and I love Roseanne! I laugh with every episode I watch. I have a question though... does anyone know the name of the actress who plays "Bonnie"? "Bonnie" is Roseanne's coworker at Rodbell's diner. She sings in the Mother's Day episode and I was wondering if she's a singer in real life. Thanks
Hey what ever happened to the T.V. show "The Wonder Years"? I miss that show. I used to always stay up late and watch that every time. Man i wish that show would come back on with Kevin,Paul and also Winnie. If that happened I'd greatly appriciate this.So please bring back "Wonder Years".
I love your classic old shows and watch them every night. But PLEASE change the progams on Dirct TV. I would love to see Gilligans Island, Lavern and Shirley, and Dick Van Dyke again on your night schedule. I did love seeing Scarecrow and Mrs. King and the Waltons that you showed for a couple of nights. Bonnie
I think T.V LAND is better than nick at nite
because nick at nite keep putting shows that
are on other networks Iam getting tired of watching roseanne fresh prince and cosby show
Ilike watching who's the boss and murphy brown
but I wish they would drop those other shows and put something else on T.V land has a variety of
shows but I wish they would put family ties back on
and I am glad that good times and night court are coming. I only saw night court once and I thought
it was funny. I watch T.V land all the time
and i wish they would put the jeffersons on too
For all the people who keep saying "take Roseanne of the show" you must be crazy. Roseanne is a GREAT show. infact i think they should take off shows like Murrphy Brown and Whos the boss, they suck. I think the whole t.v. network should be:
FUll HOUSE
The Cosby SHOW
THE FRESH PRINCE
ROSEANNE
FACTS OF LIFE
Different strokes.
please put on the early shows of gumsmoke. with no commercials. they aired them on encore westerns and took them off. the early versions of the show is the best.

You know, don't you think it's time to find some other line ups for nick at nite? I'm sick of roseanne, cosby, fresh prince of bel air and full house. Come on time for change!!!! Find some other shows please. Thank you for your time.
Please bring back "the Wonder Years". It's not on anywhere else and is one of the best shows out there. Thanks for bringing in "Mad About You", but please bring back "The Wonder Years". PLEASE!!!

i,no why nick at nite
took flipper of
It is a shame that in the last six months, good shows like Diagnosis Murder, Early Edition, and even Bewitched have disappeared from regular tv (Non- Digital Cable TV).
Diagnosis Murder aired its final episode on PAXTV on November 20th. It is now on the HALLMARK channel. Early Edition aired its last episode March 30.
I was even more disappointed when I found out that TVLAND had aired its final episode on May 12. Quality televison has almost disappeared. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT TELEVISION HAS BECOME!
I LOVE Roseanne, and watched it for most of the years it was on TV the first time, and the last episode is a heart breaker. I am glad that Nick@Nite is re-playing them, but they are leaving off episodes that are very important to the TIMELINE! I hate when channels do that! Censorship!!
What did happen to all the shows like My Three Sons, Petticoat Junction, Bewitched. I really dislike Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Little House, that you show every weekend. How much of Bonanza and Gunsmoke can you watch. Bring back quality tv and get rid of all the shows you now have on. I don't want to see Cosby, Jeffersons, Little House. Bring back the shows of the 50s and early 60s
BRING bac the wonder years.!!!
and keep all same shows.!!
im only 15 and love these oldies.!!!
could you bring back "the wonder years"??? please i love that show thanks
also could you play the really old gunsmoke shows with dennis weaver as chester?
First, I would like to say that this blog is extremly old. I'm the first person in two years to write. Ok, my favorite show was wings, but that went out in around '05 I think. Rosanne is still going strong though. Watched a marothon yesterday. I do miss fresh prince of bell air, that went out a few months ago. Wonder what's next?
Please bring back the Classic TV Shows from the past even start a New Network if you have to... Shows like the Wonderful Classic TV Show: "The Donna Reed Show" & "I Love Lucy." Also, "Leave It To Beaver" "Dennis The Menace" "My Three Sons" "Mr. Ed" "The Patty Duke Show" "Route 66" "Father Knows Best" "Bewitched" Etc Etc Etc... These shows were the True Classic Television Shows!!!!!
Thank you for your time!
We need more older shows like Taxie, Leave it to Beaver, Hazel, My three sons, More Old Westerns, etc. More 60's shows at night when your home from work. I find I spend all my time surfing 200 channels to find something worth watching. Change them up but offer them every night of the week.
