NBC Universal Creates New TV Network for Action/Crime Dramas; NBC Universal's Bravo TV Reunion Week; Alice TV DVD Poll Results!

We have a lot to relay today! NBC Universal has announced that it will be creating another cable/digital channel. This time targeting fans of action, crime, mystery and suspense. It will be a 24 hour channel debuting January 1, 2006. The full schedule is not out yet but they have announced they will air classic Universal dramas such as The A-Team, Knight Rider and Miami Vice. We hope they consider more classic TV from Universal's library such as the half hour shows Dragnet, Adam-12, or the hour long Emergency! or maybe a sitcom or two that has a mystery type feeling? How about My Secret Identity? You can read more about this new channel, which is being called "Slueth" - here.

Staying on the topic of NBC Universal Enterprises, Bravo TV will be airing encores of classic TV Reunions all this week, with encores slated all month long if you miss them this week. We forgot to relay this message to you yesterday when the week-long event started, but luckily they will re-air the reunions all month long. The TV reunions include the 20th Anniversary Happy Days Reunion from 1992, The Cosby Show's Look Back from 2001, The Carol Burnett Show Reunion, and the Beverly Hills 9210 Reunion Show. So sit back and remember your favorite shows with classic look backs. Click here to read all about it.

Finally today is the day the Alice TV DVD poll ends. Many fans have submitted their top ten episodes of all-time to us and the results are in! You have selected the episode "Block Those Kicks" as your favorite episode. Of the ten most requested episodes, six will make it on DVD sometime in 2006. So, you the fans have picked the episodes, so please go out and buy the set when it comes out. It will make a big difference because if this sells well, you will get season sets as Warner Home Video is basically testing the market for this wonderful sitcom. It is your duty to do so!
