What are they doing putting these old comedy shows like "Bosum Buddies", "Happy Days" etc.? Are they going to change?

That's NBCUniversal for you - diluting their genre channels until they're genre-centric in name only. I've even seen The 40-Year-Old-Virgin air on Cloo. And this problem dates back to when USA Networks owned Syfy and USA Network; I can remember that great science fiction classic (sarcasm intended) Braveheart airing on Syfy (back when the channel was named SCI F) in 2002.
 
I think your reading too much into it. It was a ONE DAY MARATHON airing a series of sitcoms (Taxi, Mork and Mindy, Odd Couple, Get Smart, etc.) that, in some cases, I hadn't seen in years. I would much rather watch several classic episodes of Taxi or the Odd Couple that I hadn't seen in several years than an episode of Law and Order:SVU, Psych or Burn Notice that was just shown at least three times on USA just a week earlier.
 
Here's a mystery for you....why would anybody pay extra for CLOO ? ???

CLOO is part of our basic cable package and isn't on the HD Tier. The sitcoms they showed on Friday WERE A BIG IMPROVEMENT over what they usually air. Like I said earlier, I would rather see a classic sitcom like Taxi or the Odd Couple than repeats for their cop and lawyer dramas that were shown just a week earlier on USA.
