Nick @ Nite Schedule

Repped for real talk!

 

Family Ties is now shown on The Hub (294 on DirecTV). Two episodes each week night.

 

Nick at Nite and TV Land are total garbage now. Oh, yeah, Wings is a real f'ing timeless classic.

They need to show Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Get Smart, Dragnet, and other actual REAL programs, whether people like it or not. That lineup listed earlier, I wouldn't watch any of those shows except Cheers.

 

Family Ties, Wonder Years, Doogie Howser--that is a Hall of Fame two-hour block.

 

Nothing wrong with Wings. Tony Shaloub and Thomas Haden Church are a darn good starting points for a cast, and Steven Weber has been a solid series TV guest star, too.

 

Look, Wings was a watchable show. I've seen a fair amount of it in syndication. But it distresses me that many of the greatest TV shows of all time and not on television any more. People still watch Casablanca, but generations of Americans are growing up without ever having seen Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, etc., and that is a real cultural loss.

 

Is the audience for, say, Leave it to Beaver or the Honeymooners as good as it was 20 years ago, when both were heavy in syndication and on major cable channels? Outside the Andy Griffith Show (in the South, this is an immutable part of the TV schedule), there's little if any black and white programming.

 

Wait a minute. This is actually some newbie troll's idea of what N@N SHOULD show? WTF?

And what the hell kind of line-up is it without Hot L Baltimore?

 

You are correct, the problem is the definition of classic is becoming more current and because the shows changed so drastically back then its hard to believe anything within the 25 years or so can be labeled as classic. Shows seem to evolve quicker, I still find it hard to believe Seinfeld is almost 21 years old. As far as the market outside of shows being 30-35 years old or higher it is becoming very small, and we are losing part of our television heritage and alot of shows will be forgotten.

 

I agree
