I'm not sure Viacom knows what they want to do with TV Land right now. It wasnt on the list of "flagship" brands wen they restructured and instead was listed as a "reinforcing" brand which really means nothing.
I know it's not really the place to discuss it in depth, but given the popularity of MeTV and AntennaTV with their older programming of 60s, 70s, and 80s shows, would it be better for TV Land to go back to its roots and show these older shows again? It's gotta be cheaper to get those rights than making their own shows. This article last year from Variety shows those networks are very popular. MeTV ranked higher in Nielson than A&E, FX, MTV, Bravo, Lifetime, and TLC. Is TV Land missing the boat here? Maybe they just need to figure out how to get advertisers on board.
Personal note: I watched part of the first season and somewhat liked it. Comedy Central just isnt a channel I think about when watching shows.
I watched the first season as it aired, and enjoyed it. Innovative, very different comedy.
When the second season started, I found myself getting bored very quickly. What seemed quirky before now just seemed tiresome. Not sure what changed, the writing or me. Quit after a couple episodes of S2.
Perhaps this is due to Disney taking back the rights to all it's Marvel characters in order to produce content for it's new streaming channel??
Interesting question. And Disney originally did say when they announced their own streaming service that the Marvel series that are on Netflix would stay there permanently. That's not to say it isn't Netflix that cancelled them, and not so much Disney pulling the plug. They pay Disney to make Daredevil. Why would they continue to give money to Disney when Disney is now creating a competing service?
MeTV ranked higher in Nielson than A&E, FX, MTV, Bravo, Lifetime, and TLC. Is TV Land missing the boat here?
Yes. I turn on the TV about 9:00 PM and watch Star Trek:TNG, then flip to the CW for Seinfeld, then MeTV for Carol Burnett, Perry Mason, Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock.
The only network TV I watch is The Good Doctor, Dateline and sometimes Shark Tank, but I'm kind of liking The Rookie, so I've been watching that. I'll watch Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef/Junior on FOX. Lately, I've been watching CSI on Ion. I never got to watch the show when it was on originally. The only other station I watch routinely is PBS.
Antenna is a lot like MeTV. I watch Johnny Carson on there.
