Antenna TV Spring 2021 Schedule; Eric Stonestreet to Host Fox Series

What's Happening Now!!

Antenna TV's Spring 2021 schedule will launch a week from today on Monday, April 5. No new series will be added, but a number of shows will be on hiatus, while What's Happening Now!! returns to the schedule on weekends. But first on weekdays, there will be some time changes and encores being added. Encore hours of I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Three's Company, Barney Miller and The Jeffersons will be added. Jeannie/Bewitched remain airing from 1-3pm, but will also now air 5-7am. Three's Company remains 4-5pm but gets a late night encore from 2-3am. Barney Miller returns to weekdays and gets a primetime airing from 8-9pm and an encore from 3-4am. And The Jeffersons remains in prime from 9-10pm, but gets an encore from 4-5am. There are some other timeslot changes, but one other major note is Gimme a Break! returning to weekdays replacing Who's the Boss? from 5-6pm. Who's the Boss? will be resting a bit as it gears up to air on the upcoming Antenna TV companion network focusing on the '80s (and some 90s) later this year. It will only air right now on Sundays from 11pm-12am. Family Ties and Growing Pains have also been cut quite a bit, as they rest up for the potential move.

Quite a few 80s/90s shows have been removed completely from the lineup such as Archie Bunker's Place, Benson, Dear John, Wings, Sabrina, Becker and NewsRadio, as they rest up, so they perhaps all make the move to the new companion network. Maude and The Partridge Family is also off the line-up for now as they may be needed more later this year when shows move to the companion network. Only series that has left due to its contract being expired is The Joey Bishop Show. Meanwhile, '80s series What's Happening Now!! returns to weekends with a bang, airing two hours on weekends from 5-7pm. It will also air Saturday mornings from 7-9am. Other weekend changes include encores of Growing Pains, Soap, Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life and 227 being added on Sundays, so you get a second chance to watch, while a second hour of I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched is added on Saturdays. And finally My Two Dads moves from 4am to 7pm on Sunday nights.


Eric Stonestreet

Multi-Emmy Award-winning actor Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) will host new unscripted competition series Domino Masters, premiering in the 2021-2022 season on Fox. Produced by Fox Entertainment's fast-growing in-house unscripted studio, Fox Alternative Entertainment, the series will feature teams of domino enthusiasts facing off in an unbelievable domino toppling and chain reaction tournament. Throughout the competition, Stonestreet, alongside the judges, will encourage the domino aficionados, introduce incredible challenges and put the creations to the test until one team is crowned the Domino Masters. The series brings imagination and creative ingenuity to life when teams of domino enthusiasts go head-to-head in a toppling tournament to create mind-blowing masterpieces, with infinite possibilities and thousands of tiles and unique kinetic devices. Sixteen skilled teams will compete against each other in ambitious domino building challenges to be crowned the country's most talented amateur domino topplers. In each episode, the teams will be given a bold theme and exciting custom elements to incorporate into their topples. The competing pairs who most impress the judges will progress to the next round, until the finale, during which the top teams will face off for a cash prize, the ultimate trophy and the grand title of Domino Masters. Stonestreet's last hosting gig was the ABC reality series The Toy Box in 2017.
