Lifetime Edits March Schedule Before It Even Begins; Recapping Last Night's SAG Awards

Lifetime TV has already changed some of their March line-up before it even started. Frasier joins the line-up March 6 and it was supposed to air weekdays at 6p, 6:30p, 11:30p and 12:30a, but now they have changed it to 1p, 1:30p, 11p, and 11:30p. The full updated schedule is here, and includes the addition of Kate & Allie --no, I'm just kidding about that show (I wish I wasn't!)! No other new shows will join the line-up in March, but we can expect Reba in August and Still Standing in September. They are no Kate & Allie that's for sure.

ABC's Desperate Housewives and Lost were two of the big TV winners last night at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards. The awards were handed out last night at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center, and the ceremony was aired simultaneously on TNT and TBS starting at 8 p.m. ET.

Sitcoms Airing Tonight

Friday, July 3

The Dick Van Dyke Show - Now in Living Color! - (CBS, 8:00PM ET/PT) (Repeat)
CBS will honor the memory of legendary actor, producer, director, writer, comedian and Emmy Award winner Carl Reiner with THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW – NOW IN LIVING COLOR! A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO CARL REINER, featuring two colorized back-to-back classic episodes of the beloved 1960s series, Friday, July 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. As series creator and co-star, Carl Reiner personally supervised the original colorization of the episodes.

The special features “Coast to Coast Big Mouth,” which ranked #8 on TV Guide’s list of the “100 Greatest TV Episodes of All-Time,” and “October Eve,” which Mr. Reiner considered to be one of the series’ funniest episodes. Both were written by Bill Persky and Sam Denoff.

In “Coast to Coast Big Mouth,” Laura Petrie blurts out a top secret on a national television quiz show, revealing that comedian Alan Brady wears a toupee. The episode, which was the show’s fifth and final season premiere, was originally broadcast on Sept. 15, 1965. “Coast to Coast Big Mouth” won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series in 1966.

In “October Eve,” a painting of Laura returns to haunt her when, despite her having posed fully clothed, the artist (played by Carl Reiner) takes the liberty of “undraping” her. The episode was first presented on April 8, 1964, during season three.
