WGN America does 50's-60's week

I just saw on that this WGN America will be doing a 50's and 60's week in prime time starting tomorrow night with The Honeymooners, then The Beverly Hillbillies, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie. Are they heading toward showing more classic TV shows that haven't been seen on TV Land in years as a regular part of their schedule? I hope so.

Also, I noticed the creepy eyes logo is gone.
 
I hope WGN America does bring back Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie permanently, as WGN carried them in the 1970's and 1980's and for a time in the 1990's.

WGN should bring back other sitcoms not currently on TVLand or TBS like Gilligan's Island . Does anyone know what WGN America will have this Fall?.
 
I spoke too soon in saying the creepy eyes logo was gone. It's gone from the corner bug, but it's still in use on the promo ads.
 
They picked four of the truly classic "Honeymooners":
the one where Ralph and Ed share a TV, where Ralph
takes up golf (Ed, reading from a manual on how to
play golf that says "address the ball," walks up to it
and says, "Helloooo, ball"), where Ralph loses on the
first question on "The $99,000 Answer" because he
thinks Ed wrote "Swanee River," and where the two
couples go roller skating in an attempt to recapture
their younger days (and Gleason's a--as he would say--
regular riot on skates). But why the "TVPG" rating?

They've being that TVPG rating deal quite a bit now for shows that deserve a TVG rating like Family Matters on Nick at Nite now carries the TVPG rating where in some episodes of that show it deserves it (like the episode where a schoolmate of Laura's is shot) and other episodes do not. Perhaps with The Honeymooners someone fell asleep at the switch and forgot to change the rating to TVG and perhaps thought it was WKRP or Newhart that was coming on.

Does he threaten to send Alice to the moon? Domestic violence.
