i Network November Sees 'Growing Pains'; TV Land Picks-Up 'High School Reunion' For All-New Episodes
And as a reminder, don't forget Amen launches in the Mon-Thurs 7 & 7:30 p.m. slot on October 27 while Welcome Back, Kotter takes 7 & 7:30 p.m. on Fridays starting THIS Friday. We will of course keep you up to date on any changes and additions! Come on back!
TV Land has announced it has picked up High School Reunion for all-new episodes. TV Land has revived the reality series, which ran for three seasons on the WB, greenlighting six new episodes from executive producer Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor), Variety reports. Hour-long series takes a group of former classmates and brings them together several years after graduation to participate in a reunion in a fantasy location. Production begins early next year for a premiere in the third or fourth quarter. While on the WB, the series focused on a 10-year reunion of alumni in their late 20s and early 30s. As such, the show played especially well to the younger 18-34 and 12-34 demos coveted by the WB. For TV Land, the series will host 20-year+ reunions in order to better appeal to the cabler's older demos.
Honestly, this is a very strange pick-up to me. They should make classic TV reunions, not real people's high school reunions. Just my take.
