Nick At Nite, As We Know It, Is Dead

The nick@nite that aired real classic shows (older than 20 years old at least) died years ago and even that Nick@Nite had some original programming
 
Well Nick@Nite choice of sitcoms have been dull. It's like they ignored the 90's and went straight into the 2000's with Everybody Hates Chris and George Lopez. There's more to the 90's than Family Matters and Fresh Prince. What about Step By Step, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Grace Under Fire etc. The soap phase wont last just like Mynetwork did

Were you referring to "Hi Honey, I'm Home"? ABC presented the first six episodes in 1991 and each of them was broadcast by Nick at Nite two days later. The last seven episodes were broadcast only by Nick at Nite in 1992.

This makes airing movies and first-run shows on TV Land look like a good idea!

Actually, the demonstrable ratings success they've had makes it a good idea. It is a business, after all.

Shouldn't this kind of program be on MTV instead of Nick At Nite?

It should be wherever the owners want it. It is, after all, their bottom line on the line, so to speak.

They produced some original stuff even before that
 
Nick at Nite did air Home Improvement and Full House which was from the 90's. As for other 90's sitcoms has Nick at Nite ever aired Step By Step or even Boy Meets World?

The current Nick at Nite isn't all that great with Friends now being on Nick at Nite. I don't feel that show belongs.

Might it be time for Nick to do something else at night instead of Nick at Nite? Could move 90s Nick to the main network for the night.

Viacom thinks recent sitcoms will get better ratings probably, now wanting to be TBS in the Daytime@Nite
 
Wonder how Nick at Nite would be handled if CBS would have gotten the Nick and TV Land networks when CBS and Viacom split up. I am sure much different.

Well, it would have depended on one major factor, and that is if the MTV Networks came as a single package, or if Nick\TV Land were split off as separate networks. Since I'm guessing the former (MTV Networks stays as a whole) then it wouldn't have been any different at all. Of course, remember that even CBS isn't a charity (as proven by high ratings of their network) so they would have also taken the most profitable roadmap, much as Viacom is doing now. Like it or not, original programming has been a hit, and has made TV Land a ton of money, which at the end of the day is more important than quality. If there was a high demand in the advertiser demos for old TV shows, we'd have 50 networks of that instead of 50 networks of reality TV and original programming catering to the audience that enjoys it now.

And this is coming from someone who would rather have MTV play music videos, AMC play classic movies (uncut(, TV Land do classic TV shows, and the list goes on and on.
 
True that TV Land is making money off their orignal programming they have. I heard somewhere one of the orignal shows on TV Land got a award. Money is what the networks want.

As for when CBS and Viacom split up, I think they both could have made some sort of deal. Viacom could have got the Showtime movie networks with CBS getting the MTV Family and Kids part of MTV Networks and also getting TV Land plus Spike. But this can be saved for another topic
 
"Hi, Honey, I'm Home" - now there's a blast from the past. Outside of Julie Benz, who else from that cast is recognizable these days?

Oh, wow. I had no idea. I liked her on "No Ordinary Family". Not so much on "A Gifted Man" but at least her being there got me to watch it.
