Decades Rebranding to Catchy Comedy on March 27, Acquires Night Court; Marlon Wayans' 3rd HBO Max Special

Decades is rebranding to Catchy Comedy starting March 27 and they will go all sitcoms, all day! Most of the shows are shows that are on the Weigel networks (MeTV, etc.) library, but they have acquired Night Court! Weekday mornings from 6-10am will be family focused with Full House, The Brady Bunch, Family Affair, and The Donna Reed Show. Daytime from 10am-4pm will be focused on female superstars I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, Laverne & Shirley, Mama's Family and The Carol Burnett Show. Early fringe includes '70s classics like The Love Boat, The Odd Couple, and then Norman Lear '70s classics Good Times, Sanford and Son and All in the Family from 4-9pm. And then later in the evening comes Night Court, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Cheers, Taxi, The Bob Newhart Show and Newhart in late prime & late fringe beginning at 9pm. On the weekends, Catchy Comedy will focus on marathons like Decades did, airing just one or two series throughout the entire weekend for a binge. First up in April is Night Court, thanks to the success of the new Night Court on NBC. Little-seen or short-lived sitcoms that still made an impact on pop culture, like Square Pegs will make appearances on the weekend binge. Stay tuned for more details.
Comedy legend Marlon Wayans returns in his third comedy special for HBO Max, Marlon Wayans: God Loves Me, debuting Thursday, March 2 on HBO Max. Filmed at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Wayans delivers a hilarious hour-long performance, unleashing his spot-on impressions and fearless physical comedy to address one of the most infamous recent events in pop culture – "the slap" that took place at the 94th Academy Awards® ceremony. With his inimitable blunt and boisterous style, Wayans skillfully weaves anecdotes from his own life with stories about his long-time friends, from divulging his teenage crush on Jada Pinkett Smith, getting humbled by Chris Rock in an early stand-up set, and examining the impact of Will Smith’s long career. A daring tour-de-force, this special is a hysterical yet thoughtful exploration of friendship, family, mistakes, and redemption.
