I don't drive, so I like to think I have a world of sympathy for people who can't walk (or walk well), but it's not about a lack of sympathy. Those commercials (along with every other health-related kind) have TAKEN OVER. I'm sure it all ties in with that whole "graying of America," "ageing baby-boomer" etc. etc. etc. business. I'm not saying that isn't a real thing, but the demographics people behind the commercial breaks evidently use it as an excuse to show no imagination. Not everyone who watches TV has a dozen health problems, and guess what? - not everyone who does have them wants to hear about them every eight minutes! That should speak for itself!

I can't tell you how angry I am at what TV Land has become. It is barely watchable, and because someone had the genius idea of keeping the shows their original lenght, but using today's standards of commercial time, EVERY SHOW OVERLAPS until you get the one hour episode of Rosanne every night at midnight to allow the crap to catch up to itself. Ridiculous.
 
Adding insult to injury are the "mini marathons". They only show about four different shows- but they show them over and over and over. I mean, I love Andy Griffith and could watch every episode ten times in a row- but wtf?

Way back in the day their target audience might have been largely comprised of people in need of scooters. Now that they are showing "classic" TV shows from the 90's, not so much. The Scooter Store will figure it out and pull their advertising soon I think.

Yes, but I hope they don't replace it with something or other so similar that it's the same difference. For some time now, advertising has been obsessed with medical stuff (once in a while the two things meet and you get ads for E.D. pills, but that's a tiny part of the picture). And I'll say it again, I don't care how many ^*(#$! people are over what age in this country, that's still just plain unimaginative! So if something does replace endless scooter ads, please let it be something completely different!

TV Land's website IS A JOKE! Spammers frequently post on the board, and most of those who'd commiserate on how bad TV Land has become have jumped ship and seek their "Classic" TV Fix from other sources (Which are quite plentiful!). Big smile

It seems that if you want to get your TV Land Fix, you go to these stations...

Antenna TV

Retro TV

MeTV

This TV

I won't be surprised that a new station like these are in the works from a big studio like WB, FOX, or Universal...and it may be a joint station too.

Not to mention Best Buy, Sam's Club, Costco, Target, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Deep Discount, Rightstuf, E-Bay, ioffer.com and sell.com! LOL

I think TV Land would be awesome if they just stuck with the classics.  I can't stand it when I tune in to see Roseanne and get a Hot in Cleveland marathon.  Ugh, please let that show die.  All of the other TV Land original sitcoms are snooze fests as well.

It's really fruitless to make numerous complaints about TVLand here, just look at their message board.
 
 
I've managed to stick to at least one of my hard and fast rules - I turn off anything with pop-ups, with just about no exceptions. So just as I'd turn off Andy and Barney if I saw Cougar pop-ups, I'd turn off The Cougar due to Andy and Barney pop-ups! Same difference.

If TV Land went off the air, I'd never miss it. HUB and Antenna TV show classic programs.

TV Land going off the air? Good riddance. 

Well... maybe one day. As long as TV Land keeps its direction in making new shows that are bad and keep airing classics that are bad then they're already in a coffin.

My dad and I were sick of TVGland and ended up switching to MeTV when we felt like watching classic shows.

Antenna TV is more like TV Land was back in the 90's. It's got Dragnet, Adam 12,It Takes a Thief and even some rare variety shows from the early 60's!Big smile

The only time I watch the channel is in the middle of the night when I wake up and can't go back to sleep and even then I'll only watch Three's Company.
