TV Land Running Early

L

Lehos

Must not be anyone in the building on this holiday. TV Land programming is running about 12-15 minutes "early". They are running I Love Lucy this morning, and the 11am episode began about 10:45am and the 11:30am episode began at about 11:17am.

Sort of reminds me when I come in after my radio station has been automated for a while and things are a bit out of whack. I've never seen it on TV though....
 
According to the schedule on Charter Cable in Jackson, TN, High School Reunion was supposed to be on today, but thankfully it wasn't.
 
How many more shows is "TV Land" going to try before they get the message from
viewers "Who Cares?".
Next week, "She's Got The Look" debuts, somehow, a show like this doesn't belong
on this cable network, i can see this on, maybe, "Style" or "Bravo", but "TV Land"?,
who's programming it these days?, It was originally created for the "TV Generation"
not "Today's TV Generation".
My message to them is, get back to what it should be, or else they will continue to
lose more viewers!

That was changed at the last minute and I guess they forgot to tell Charter Cable and Directv. There's an I LOVE LUCY Marathon on all day 8AM-8PM. I saw it here on May 20th: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2008/05/slight-tv-land-changes-tv-land-summer.html

At 6pm central, they were running Andy Griffith (and the onscreen guide said it was TV Land Myths & Legends).

Do they just pull tapes out of a box and air them?
 
TV Land most likely needs a relaunch because it is not the channel it originally was. Maybe they can split into two networks like Nickelodeon did when Nick-at-Night gain official recognition by Nielsen as a different network. Keep TV Land during the day and something like "Today's TV" during prime time with all their weak reality programming.

I absolutely agree and like I said on another post, just like back in the days, I remember hearing people talking about videos on MTV, you just don't hear that anymore. I turn on MTV, there is "Next" and whatever other "reality" show there is. TV has gotten really boring to the point where it could probably fade away and like someone stated earlier, the internet might be the only form of media out there.

MTV, another example of a Viacom network that lost its way long ago and sank into the "reality" craze of absolutely lowest common denominator programming. TVLand, VH-1, MTV, TNN/Spike - all Viacom networks that lost their way long ago.
 
In today's world companies and investors demand that their companies make money. And it's not just a profit it's the MOST profit.

If "I Love Lucy" makes money and somthing else makes more, "Lucy" is out. I know if I was an investor I would want that. As a viewer I despise it.
 
"DISHNetwork has had the schedule for TVLand wrong for two weeks now."
It's not just DISH. My cable - getting the info presumably from TV Guide - has been wrong for at least that long. Most of the surprises have been pleasant so far. Whatever is "scheduled" tends to be replaced by Andy Griffith. I can live with that.
