Soap, Happy Endings on Logo; SNL Saturday Marathon on TV Land
Logo is bringing us even more laughs. First up, they are airing two episodes of Soap (episodes 4 and 8) on Sunday, Aug. 24 at 2:30pm & 3pm, following two episodes of Maude ("Maude's Dilemma" two-parter). Soap and Maude are airing on this date following Roseanne, Designing Women and Will & Grace. No other airings are scheduled for Soap on Logo, so perhaps it will be used here and there like Maude, which also is not airing regularly. However, Happy Endings will be joining the Logo schedule this Fall! The series was airing in repeats on sister network VH1, but now it will move to Logo and join other fellow former ABC comedy Don't Trust the B--- in Apartment 23. As for the scheduling, Happy Endings will launch with a Labor Day weekend marathon on Saturday, Aug. 30 from 12pm-8pm, Sunday, Aug. 31. from 12-6pm, and Monday, Sept. 1 from 12-5pm. Happy Endings will air in blocks regularly everyday like The Golden Girls, Will & Grace, Roseanne, Living Single, Designing Women, The Nanny, CSI and The X-Files. Keep it right here for any further updates on Logo, but as of now Happy Endings is the new addition for Fall 2014. No word on Soap yet other than the two airings this coming Sunday.
TV Land is bringing us Saturday Night Live all day on Saturday, Aug. 30 from 11am-11pm. It will be a star-studded day with episodes featuring guest hosts Jennifer Aniston, Jerry Seinfeld, Tina Fey, Melissa McCarthy, Betty White, Justin Timberlake and best of compilations of Jimmy Fallon, Alec Baldwin, and Amy Poehler. Music guests include Sting, David Bowie, Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. SNL airs regularly on sister networks VH1 and VH1 Classic. No word just yet if TV Land has plans to make SNL a regular part of their line-up. Stay with us for continued updated. Live from TV Land, it's Saturday Night!
Sitcoms Airing Tonight

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.
