TV One & WWOR's Fall Line-Ups; The Color Honeymooners to DVD!
Now heading to New York City -- WWOR's fall line-up is in. At least most of it. Spin City and The Cosby Show will both be leaving at later dates, so it is unclear what will replace them, but they both are on the line-up starting September 12. The Nanny and Mad About You have been added to the afternoon line-up. Click here to see the line-up.
In other New York local news, Home Improvement is coming to WLNY-TV, airing weekday mornings at 9:00 and 9:30 a.m., replacing the canceled Life & Style. WCBS will move Becker up to 1:30 a.m. (which is much better than 3:30 a.m.) and move the encores of Entertainment Tonight and The Insider from late nights to 9 and 9:30 a.m. replacing the canceled Larry Elder. WABC has made no changes to its solid number one rated line-up. WNBC will be adding Martha weekdays at 11:00 a.m. WNYW has not released their line-up to us yet. We hope to find out the weekend line-ups for all of these soon, too. Of course, WPIX's full seven-day-a-week schedule was already released to us.
Let's head on over to TV DVD land with news regarding the world of TV DVDs. MPI Home Entertainment will be releasing The Color Honeymooners on DVD in mid-late 2006. So, you've heard it here first. The show had 42 hour long episodes and lasted from 1966-1970, so another show MPI is releasing that is approaching 40 years.
