i Network Continues 'Growing Pains'; Watchoo Talkin' 'bout TV Land: JustMyShow.com Debates 'Catchphrase' Special

The i Network will continue to show us that smile, as they will continue to air Growing Pains back-to-back at 9 p.m. this week. It was slated only for Nov. 20-Dec. 1, but it looks like it did pretty well, and will continue to air all this week (until Dec. 8), too. We will have more updates on this when available, so you must keep checking back. We might have an update even later today, so you might want to come back later tonight, if we have any updates.

Our good friend Eric from the online show Just My Show has put up a bonus interview today. It is a group discussion on TV Land's 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases, which airs all next week at 10 p.m. The discussion of the pros and cons of this list are done by William Sanderson (Newhart), whose catchphrase from that show made the top 100 list; USA Today's Whitney Matheson (who by the way wrote a nice article on John Ritter some years back that I just loved); and TV Party's Billy Ingram. It is an interesting discussion and debate, and I'm sure you all had a catchphrase or two that you thought should have made the list and maybe a few that should not have. Anyway, listen to the discussion by clicking here.
