Actionmage February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I wonder if. due to the ABC connection, they will be limited on what they can show. They were producers on Empty Nest and Night Court , iirc, so that may be why they can run those shows. But how likely is a Dharma & Greg or Two Guys, a Girl & an Pizza Place? Maybe they can play classic cartoons for a two hour block on Saturday mornings? The Krofft Super Show and Hong Kong Phooey and Jonny Quest and The Groovy Ghoulies. There are plenty of one season sitcoms, like The Job. that could be worth airing, along with a long-runner like Home Improvement. I was looking at a Wiki-list of old ABC programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_previously_broadcast_by_American_Broadcasting_Company#Sitcoms), but maybe looking at the actual producers like Carsey Werner and Warners could be a better gauge? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22094-laff/#findComment-861388
roseha February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 I always get confused by the network related subchannels anyway, I don't know if it has to do with production companies but Decades on CBS is scheduled to show The Fugitive (ABC series), The Man from Uncle (NBC) and already showed all of Get Smart, which was on NBC except for CBS its last season. Not sure what the reason is for some of this, though I am very glad to see anyone airing The Fugitive these days. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22094-laff/#findComment-863443
Cobb Salad February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 There's been so many mergers, sales, etc. of studios and media companies through the years that it's hard to track who owns what regarding television shows. When Decades shows up on my cable system (I hope) I'll be happy to see many of the shows I haven't seen in years too!

Actionmage March 2, 2015 Share March 2, 2015 There's been so many mergers, sales, etc. of studios and media companies through the years that it's hard to track who owns what regarding television shows. I figure the network's "home-brewed" stuff is pretty easy to use. I looked up, out of curiosity, what ABC Studios has been financing. Here is a partial list: (emphasis on comedies, as the net is LAFF) Animal Crack-Ups, Carol & Company, Blossom, Home improvement, The PJs, 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter, According To Jim, Crumbs, Carpoolers, Cavemen, GCB, Happy Endings, In The Motherhood, The Knights of Prosperity, My Wife and Kids, Reaper, Less Than Perfect, Sports Night, Life With Bonnie, and Woops! If you only went with that list, you'd have a relatively decent 2-3 hour block for at least five nights to start. Of the above, I'd choose- if I could- Blossom, 8 Simple Rules ..., Reaper, My Wife and Kids, Less Than Perfect and Sports Night. If I could, I might make a Bonnie Block and try to get her other series ( The Building and Bonnie). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22094-laff/#findComment-881356

Actionmage August 8, 2015 Share August 8, 2015 Wednesday I was flipping through channels, looking for background noise to clean with, and at least the DFW area has LAFF now! I've been binging on the Bernie Mac and Drew Carey episodes. I try to catch Grace Under Fire when I can, as I enjoyed it when it originally ran. If the Spin City stuff comes around to the beginning, I might hop on. The Ellen episodes I caught sporadically back in the day, but when the Bruce Campbell episodes start up, I might seek them out more. ( I caught the opening of one Ellen where Mary Tyler Moore was showing Ellen how to do the famous twirl. It was a fun bit.)

It's scheduled for 2 shows from 8-9 pm Eastern and another 2 I think from 10-11 pm.
