Hallmark Channel Schedule Changes; TV Guide Old Covers Being Re-Done
The Hallmark Channel is removing its Saturday morning line-up of sitcoms and replacing it with three episode of Little House on the Prairie, starting this Saturday (October 8) from 6:00 to 9 a.m. So, Hogan's Heroes, The Beverly Hillibillies & Gilligan's Island are now totally gone and will not be airing at all. The Hillbillies will still be on WGN, Hogan will be on some locals and HDNet but Gilligan will not be airing at all anywhere. While I'm sure many of you love Little House, this is not a good change at all since Little House airs quite a lot on the channel (and TV Land also airs it in the evenings) while these three shows do not air at all now on Hallmark. This channel used to air so many sitcoms in the past such as The Facts of Life, ALF, Gomer Pyle, & Bewitched, but now they don't air any sitcoms except M*A*S*H. This is not good at all. We hope they are planning to acquire some, but as of now, they will not be. Look for the drama Diagnosis Murder to come to Hallmark next, most likely in December. At least sitcom stars Dick Van Dyke and Scott Baio are in that!Before TV Guide Magazine gets its new "bigger" look, they will celebrate the past with nine collectible covers of older shows with a new look cast. See the Bernie Mac cast as the Evans family from Good Times; Regis & Kelly as the Major & Jeannie; and Charlie Sheen & Jon Cryer as The Odd Couple! For the rest of the covers, click here. Look for the issue in your mailbox or on newsstands this week!
