TV Schedule News; SitcomsOnline Remembers Nipsey Russell

The Honeymooners is now back in New York City! You will have to be an early bird if you want to catch it. It will air every early Monday mornings at 4 and 4:30 a.m. on WPIX. WPIX has been airing the series on and off for many years now. Like I mentioned before, New York City has not had so much classic TV at once for a long time now. But still, nothing can beat Chicago's current classic TV shows.

And the animated '80s classic Dennis the Menace is now back on cable! I have always liked this show for some reason. Of all the channels, it is airing on The Black Family Channel (formerly known as the MBC Network). I never knew Dennis was black! At least one of Dennis' friends was black on the show, lol. I'm sure many do not get this channel, if you do, then you can catch it weekday afternoons at 3:30 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 8:30 a.m. Dennis has aired on cable before, such as on FOX Family Channel and Cartoon Network.

And we leave you today with some sad news that Car 54, Where Are You's Nipsey Russell has passed away at age 80. He of course played Officer Anderson on the popular '60s sitcom. Nipsey also starred in the one year wonder Barefoot in the Park in 1970. He was also famous for being a celebrity panelist on Match Game. And some of you might have known him as Tinman from the feature film The Wiz. He was a very funny man and will be missed by many. Nipsey would have turned 81 on Oct. 13.
