I'll definitely watch Mr. Belvedere. Although I saw many of the episodes last year when Family Net was airing the series. I also want to check out Evening Shade.
FYI that is only 9 new shows. On the ME-TV section #'s 3 and 4 are one show "Quincy M.E" and on the Antenna TV side #'s 1 and 2 are one show "Doogie Howser MD"
My kitchen TV is the only one on an antenna but the only ones on that list that interest me are Quincy and Small Wonder. Mr Belvedere was beaten to death in syndication so all of those shows have aired too many times. The rest dont really hold mush interest to me.
I will definitely be checking out Newhart since I enjoyed watching Bob Newhart on Me-tv last year. And Looking forward to seeing Mr. Beleverde for the first time since it aired on ABC in the 1980's. What will you be watching?
Someone had posted the complete Newhart series on YouTube and a while back I marathoned my way through all of it using Roku.
I had loved the show when it was on back in the '80's, but this time around there were two notable things: One was the slow pace of the comedy. This isn't true just for Newhart, but all sitcoms are much more rapidly paced these days. It is a matter of the ratio between set up lines and gags, they were far more leisurely in the past, a much smaller percentage of laugh lines.
The second is repetition. Watching with a week between episodes it is less noticeable, watching one episode after another, well, around the 50th time you get the same "Hi, I'm Larry and this is my brother...etc", you start getting annoyed. The Stephanie and Michael characters also suffer from repeating the same gags, or at least the same type of gag over and over.
Bob Newhart remains the best thing about the show. His timing, his slow reactions, his incredulousness at the insanity around him, all top notch.

In heard the patient Mr. Carlin makes a guest appearance on this show
small wonder was a cheesy lil show that used to come on saturday evenings here on the local fox affiliate in the late 80's (i used to watch it when i was younger, along with shows like my secret identity)
it's not classic telvision but its watchable, kids will like it for sure.
I'll be watching Mr Belvedere. I can't find Small Wonder on the schedule but if I do find it I'll watch it.
