TV Land Brings Back Friday Night Movies For 2 More Months; CBS Shows on Comcast On Demand

TV Land today announced that they will bring back its Friday night movie block. They aired the block for six weeks this past summer and now they have decided to bring it back on October 6 through December 8 each Friday at 10 p.m. followed by an encore. TV Land says, "We all know them and we all love them. We have all seen these movies so many times we can quote entire scenes verbatim...yet we still watch them whenever they’re on. These classics are back for nostalgic enjoyment this fall on TV Land beginning October 6 and airing every Friday through December 8." Movie titles for October are: Fatal Attraction, Lethal Weapon 2 and Top Gun.
TV Land has also announced the episode info for The Munsters 25-Hour Daylight Saving Mash on Oct. 28. You can view that and all of October by clicking HERE. Speaking of The Munsters, it doesn't look like TV Land will renew the show. It expires after Halloween (a fitting date) and they seem to not be renewing it. Currently the show airs Thursday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and Sundays at 10 a.m. The Brady Bunch has been penciled in for November in its spot. That is all subject to change until we post the November schedule, so come on back!

Comcast and CBS Corporation today announced that they will make eight of the CBS Television Network's leading primetime entertainment series available to viewers at no cost through the cable operator's signature ON DEMAND with Digital Cable service. Included in the video-on-demand (VOD) offerings will be CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Survivor, NCIS, Numb3rs, Jericho and Big Brother. The new deal replaces the previous agreement between the two companies to offer CBS programming for 99 cents per episode only in markets served by CBS owned and operated stations. Now, each of the CBS series, which will include paid commercial spots sold by CBS, will be available for free to Comcast Digital Cable customers with ON DEMAND throughout the country. Episodes of the shows will be available for on-demand viewing starting on the day after their network airing and will remain available for four weeks.
What no episodes of The Class? ;) We will have a review of the pilot tomorrow.
