| 5 years ago TV Land was a haven for 1950s amd 1960s TV shows; everything from Dennis the Menace with Jay North to Superman with George Reeves. Today TV Land is an abysmal pit consisting of Good Times, The Jeffersons, The Cosby Show, The Andy Griffith Show, Leave it to Beaver, The Addams Family and Three`s Company. Their weekend programming consists almost entirely of constantly looped episodes of Gunsmoke and Bonanza. The TV Land dot com website STILL maintains, for some incomprehensible reason, a webpage listing dozens of shows they have not run IN 5 FULL YEARS! TV Land is a DISGRACE to american cable television. |

Morgram - you may want to consider canceling your cable/satellite service. With the extra $$ you save, you can buy DVD's since your a "classic" type of guy

 Think that DOC's trying to make a point here, Morgram. That's the fourth duplicate of this post I've seen. Cracked me up so much I couldn't even type in my password. Shoot! I've got tears in my eyes I laughed so hard. DOC, you so funny  |

Quit complaining and DO something, the more you complain the less that gets done!  |

Yeah, well. It`s pretty damn easy for some of you to mock me on this subject because some of you obviously have not watched as many hours of TV as I have the past 40 years. 100% percent of the shows, movies and cartoons I grew up with in the sixties are nowhere on TV today. I would have to spend thousands of dollars to buy all the things I want to see again on DVD. |

| A suggestion. Go take a look at the TV Land dot com message boards, programming suggestions in particular, and read for yourselves just how happy viewers are with the current state of TV Land. |

Why, Batman? Am I wrong about TV Land? Am I wrong about 1950s and 1960s TV shows being nowhere on american cable TV today? Am I wrong about having to spend hundreds of dollars on DVDs to see all my childhood programs again?...and please...specifically answer these questions. |

Well, you had better make a stop at Office Max to purchase a boatload of printer paper, ink and envelopes; you are going to need a lot of it.

Sadly Morgram, until people start realizing the greatness that they once were able to behold on TV each and every day, you will have to bide your time as a part of the minority. I myself miss a lot of those older programs... having none of them though means I have gone into reading books... Try to find yourself a hobby other than TV watching and perhaps someday you will flip on your TV and be delighted with what you see on it.

Should I point out Morgram that by paying your cable bill each month you ARE paying for all the wonderful stuff from TV's yesteryear and anything else you might be tempted to peak into?

EVERYBODY has to pay for their basic channel line-up. Gee, I did not know that. I`ve lost count of how many times it has been cavalierly suggested to me that I go out and buy what I want on DVD. If I ever win the lottery maybe I`ll do that. Lifelong viewers like myself DESERVE to see the beloved shows we grew up with AGAIN. That`s all I`m saying ESPECIALLY when you consider that most 50s/60s TV fare has been completely ignored for the last 30 years of syndication. The wonderful shows of the 1950s and 1960s ought to be put back on the air again and it IS LONG OVERDUE. |
