Today we will give you TV Land's October 2010 schedule, which we are dubbing TV Land Fall 2010 Schedule Part 2, because we promised in Part 1 another sitcom is joining the line-up in the fall. And we can FINALLY reveal that the classic sitcom joining TV Land will be I Dream of Jeannie! The sitcom returns to TV Land in an all-new deal from The Program Exchange. TV Land welcomes back I Dream Of Jeannie with a marathon of the funniest episodes featuring Jeannie up to her old antics and poor Tony just trying to stay on for the ride. Along the way, see how the magic and mistakes, sparks and fireworks and scheming and plotting eventually led them from genie and master to husband and wife. Don't blink or you'll miss the magic! The weekend launch marathon is on Saturday, October 23 from 9am-9pm and on Sunday, October 24 from 9am-8pm.
I Dream of Jeannie joins The Jeffersons and Good Times (both of those are airing weekdays in the 10am hour starting Sept. 22) in sitcoms returning to TV Land in all-new deals. While Jeannie gets a launch marathon in late October, it won't air as a regular, as of now, until early November. So you will have to wait a bit longer to see when it will air as a regular. Bewitched will likely return from its hiatus with Jeannie.
Original series wise, She's Got the Look finishes its season on Wednesday, Sept. 29 at 10pm with the season finale, while the following week will have Harry Loves Lisa launch on Oct. 6. Harry Loves Lisa showcases the couple’s highs and lows as Harry Hamiln attempts to jumpstart his acting career, Lisa Rinna struggles with the tabloids and they both try to keep their clothing store Belle Gray afloat. The series offers full access to their lives as celebrities and shows that despite their many differences, this Hollywood marriage has managed to survive thanks to their values and undeniable chemistry. Whether Harry rolls his eyes or wrings his hands and Lisa is frustrated by his caution and frugality, Harry truly does love Lisa and the feeling is mutual. Their secret to marital bliss is acceptance...and a sense of humor.
