Last week we gave you basically all the details on i Network's September line-up. Now, we have the schedule for the second half of the month. There will be no regular schedule changes, so the same changes in effect starting Sept. 4 will be for the rest of the month. However, Bonanza will be expanded from just a few times a week to five days a week at 6 p.m. starting Sept. 11. We gave you details last week on the Saturday marathons from Sept. 2-16, now we have the details for Sept. 23 and 30! Sept. 23 will have another Mama's Family Mama-thon! And on Sept. 30 we get a tase of the October schedule, as Kung Fu will get a launch marathon. The classic early '70s drama Kung Fu will join the line-up in October. The i network is slowly phasing out its old shows and bringing in new ones, so they are getting better and I think we might see some more shows in October, too. Let's hope this Saturday marathon continues! I will have details on the i Network's October schedule soon. So come on back!

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.
