I sure miss classic TV programming that TV Land was known for when it first started broadcasting!

Tony41, I hear you. When there was nothing good on regular and cable TV, one could almost always find a good classic on TV Land, and they didn't run the same show all evening or for hours. Dottie

I would love for them to bring Mama's Family back! I don't watch a lot of t.v., but would love for them to bring back the Carol Burnett Show and Dean Martin - we could use something to make us laugh, instead of all these stupid reality shows. I don't believe there is a DUMBER show than 'Bad Girls Club'. How stupid is 'Keeping up with the Kordashians'?!!!

I really lilke My Cat from Hell. I've always had a cat or two but I've still learned a few things from Jackson. The one I have now might be feral. I thought it was one of my neighbors cat's kittens but she said her sons found some kittens in the brush above our houses. He doesn't like to be cuddly. He's 11 now and is just finally sitting on my DD's lap for a few minutes. He loves to be be petted but it has to be on his terms. When he's sleepy he really likes it or he'll walk by your chair and have to reach down to pet him as he walks by. We bought him a smaller sized metal dog cage and he really enjoys going outside and will stay there for 2 or 3 hours just watching the birds or whatever or just curling up and sleeping in the sun. He lets you know when he wants to come in by meowing and when he sees you he will reach up and stretch. We tried to put a harness on him when he was small but he would just fall on his side and refuse to move.

This program is of interest to anyone who is researching their own family. One can pick up pointers and techniques, many of which I found that my wife and I were already using. It is very much like being a dectective on a "cold case". The only problem I have is my envy of their having an almost unlimited travel budget and for hiring very highly trained technicans and their diagnostic equipment. The thrill of discovery is enjoyable and enlightening. If your ancestors were here when this country was being founded, you'll very liklely find a connection to Early US history. For example, my wife found that her ancestors were involved with the building of the Erie Canal; I found that I had a g-g-granfather who had served under Andrew Jackson and was later a Captain in the Black Hawk War. One of his sons was in the Mexican war, and before that, 4 brotheres were in the American Revolutionaey War with Britian.

I've started watching "Hack My Life". It gives tips and tricks, and shows how to do them. I think it is on TruTV. Learned a few interesting things.

TV Tonight 10-18-2 — Two PBS Programs — Nova & Frontline

It is only a 45 minute program. I would keep that in mind. It can be a stepping on or off point. Find out more, or not. I’d ask, who ever just reads one article or sees one blip of information or programming on an interesting topic. Of course, articles, programs want to appeal to a wide audience. I read cookbooks for example. I look at ideas and renditions of a dish I’m interested in making. Sometimes I just make it. Recently a cooking magazine offered an interesting version of a popular dish and then a little known dish. I think the publication left out some important information and included some misinformation. I compose a note to the publication while in the shower or transplanting rhubarb. I get busy and lazy and never send my note. (But I do want to tell the chef that the ingredient he believes is rare or hard to come by is in everyone’s garden; and another key ingredient does not get mentioned — and this writer chef travelled to xyz to learn about making the best ____.) A lot of ”information” can be like that. Still, I’d rather take the Frontline content to the bank than the the stewed wild froth of its subject. The production/docu/story gets only 45 minutes to address a varied audience in a prickly time.

I have satellite TV but view the local independents stations more because they show the occasional classic tv programming! If I could pick & choose the channels I want would probably be around 12 out of the 250 channels subscribed too!

I agree!! I miss the original TV land. It was a nice place to go for good, wholesome family tv. My favorites were Mary tyler Moore and I love Lucy.

Kayjones I'm with you, I don't get the appeal of the Kardashians.

Art Linkletter with "The kids say the darndest things"

"Candid Camera" was a hoot.

Red Skelton: His favorite line when he managed to whip a fast line past the audience without getting a reaction: "Look folks. I just do 'em. I don't explain 'em."

The Andy Griffith Show, Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres. These were my "classic" after school shows! Also Bonanza and Gunsmoke.

I used to love it when TVLand had "Summer Block Party" when they showed all Bewitched, all Lucy, all Cheers, all night. Now the closest we have is an occasional "Beverly Hillbillies". I can recommend some really good OLD shows- Burn and Allen, The Real McCoys, McHale's Navy, Alfred Hitchcock, Perry Mason. Where did they all go?

I'm a big complainer. I complained to TVLand when they "lost" the old comedies. I complained to HGTV when they stopped showing Gardeners Journal and Gardeners Diary. But nobody listens!

You're right, Jannie, in that they rarely listen. I say 'rarely' because recently Hallmark did. They'd stopped airing Touched By an Angel. I went to their website to see if I could object. There were LOTS of complaints, and already their answer that they would bring it back. And they have! TVLand excuses their lack of interest in what the public wants, or in my opinion, downright belittles the people stating opinions like you have posted here.
