'The Waltons' Return to the Hallmark Channel; TV Land/Nick@Nite January Status

After not airing for the last 2 1/2 weeks or so, The Waltons will return to the Hallmark Channel line-up starting Wednesday, December 13 airing Monday to Friday mornings at 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., replacing four episodes of M*A*S*H. M*A*S*H will continue to air in its other slots (5:00-7:00 p.m.). For those of you who are fans of The Waltons and is wondering what episode they will start on, I can tell you that they will start from the episode titled "The Burden," where Jim-Bob announces his calling to the ministry after he has a brush with death. And we stated that The Waltons' contract expires April 2007, we were mistaken. It is April, but in 2009, not 2007. So, at least two more years of the show on the network.

We have gotten a lot of questions on TV Land and Nick@Nite's January schedules. They have not been officially released yet still, but I can tell you there will be no changes on Nick@Nite but the "off-the-clock" times will finally be gone, so you can catch your shows on the right times now. I don't think there are any stunts or specials either for Nick@Nite January.
As for TV Land, they have a huge M*A*S*H launch week planned for Jan. 1-7, with classic M*A*S*H episodes, the M*A*S*H theatrical movie, the series finale, the 20th anniversary special, and the 30th anniversary special airing between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. on that week. During the day (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.), catch an assortment of M*A*S*H actors on other shows like Gunsmoke, The Andy Griffith Show, The Jeffersons, Good Times, and more. We will have the official news when released on the entire month, including the regular time-slot for M*A*S*H.
