TV Land & Nick@Nite October; DVD Update; and more...

Since Saturdays and Sundays are usually very slow and I've just created this news blog, I could still rehash some of my news posts from the past few days, in case anyone missed them. To read all of my posts, usually are mostly just news related, with a little opinion, click here.

TV Land and Nick@Nite's October 2005 schedules are now out. TV Land Confidentital looks very interesting. It is a 7 week series that starts Sept. 14 and runs through October airing Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT with many encores during the week, too. A TV Land Confidenital Box Set is planned for every Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. ET/PT starting Sept. 21. Also, of note in October for TV Land are clip show episodes for Three's Company, All in the Family & Cheers; along with encore reunion specials for The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Brady Bunch. A "Bar Wars" Cheers Halloween stunt is also airing. To read the full TV Land October details, please click here.
Nick@Nite's October schedule was also released. 6 more new episodes of Fatherhood are planned with lots of great special guest voices from Betty White, Don Knotts, Henry Winkler and Jim Belushi. Roseanne's 3rd annual Halloween episodes marathon is also back. Read the full October details here.

And now for your DVD first look scoop! These are scoops that will be probably released here first, but are not officially announced yet, so please refrain from getting really excited until it is posted at our good buddy website TVShowsonDVD.com. And now the DVD scoop for today is ... Fantasy Island! Yes, Fantasy Island's first season is coming out on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
And I announced on my Three's Company website yesterday, that the 5th season DVD cover art is now available. For full details please visit that website. I leave you today with the season 5 DVD box art for Three's Company.
