Old Christine Heads to TV Land; Hallmark Networks Celebrate Christmas in July
The New Adventures of Old Christine is now on TV Land. The Julia Louis-Dreyfus sitcom was added to the schedule on Monday and is airing weeknights at approx. 2:30am and 3am. The New Adventures of Old Christine was already in the Viacom family as it has been seen previously on NickMom and Nick at Nite...now it is only on TV Land. The network made some other schedule moves, moving AFV from evenings to mornings (weekdays 9am). Family Feud has also been moved to mornings 10-11am. With these two downgrades, Reba and Gilligan's Island benefit. Reba is now airing weeknights 7-8pm, while Gilligan's Island airs 5-7pm (and continues to air 11am-12pm). Everybody Loves Raymond is now expanded in prime and airing 8-10pm. Stay with us for continued updates.
