As has been discussed many times on these boards, Comedy Gold & Dejaview only buy the rights to certain seasons of shows then air the same episodes over and over again. These channels are pathetic excuses for retro channels and I wish people would stop subscribing so they could just shut down and go away. Complaining to them is a waste of time and effort because they don't care. The only way to bring about change is to voice your complaint to these corporations AND drop these channels from your subscription. Perhaps if they lose enough subs then they might decide to actually start listening to viewers and air the shows people want to see?!They've gone back to season one for both the Mary Tyler Moore Show and the Bob Newhart Show. I don't understand why they can't show the entire runs and then start over.
I noticed that Rogers has just received approval for 2 classic TV channels- dare I hope that if they decide to launch either one of these channels that they will do a better job then the existing retro channels?! Unfortunately I think it will be more of the same from them, meaning the schedule will consist of a handful of shows and they will only air the rights to a few seasons.
It is a disgrace how fans of classic television are being treated and the utter disregard for these quality shows that make up the 'golden age' of television. RETRO FANS DESERVE BETTER!! :mad:
