So, will they exchange it for "The Mod Squad"?....Little House on the Prairie?
jeffersons, goodtimes, cosby show, wil and grace
take your pick
They will replace it with any black show that they can dig up.[;)]
Yep, but I bet they'll skip "The Cosby Show". [:D]
Unreal.
Dang! [:p]
How about it?[:D]
It won't stop until Dodge halts production on the Challenger, pulls the current model from showrooms and recalls every Challenger ever sold.
And Honda will have to stop making the Rebel.
I actually like the show, although I found it a stretch to believe that the two actors, one of them from New York and the other from Wisconsin, were good old boys. Of course, there was always Daisy [:p]
Lets see if Warner Bros. yanks the DVDs. Rather than TV Land, that will cost them money:

Have you priced the DVDs. Decided to get the series today cause of this. No Way can I afford it.
I figured it was a little clever hype at the time, but it was fun [:)]

Been looking for online downloads. So far have only found the 2005 movie. Jessica Simpson is a lovely gal, but it ain't the same as the original show.

Amazon has the downloads, I'm just not set up to use them need DVD's
If TV Land is that concerned, I don't understand why they don't pixelate the roof of the car? The technology certainly exists to do this. If you don't understand how syndicated TV works; it is pretty simple: A show like DOH is owned by a studio, in this case it is Warner Brothers. If I own a TV station, I go to them to purchase rights to the show for my own broadcasts. A popular show like DOH might sell for several dollars per episode (maybe more). Since there were probably 150 episodes made (including the silly Coy and Vance episodes), I'd have to write Warner a check for about a million bucks. That is not an insignificant amount of money and if I'm not airing the show and selling commercial time during the breaks (which I'll pad with at least an extra six minutes of commercials), I'm hurting. Warner Bros. has deep pockets and I'm thinking they are actually behind it.
Kind of like that but nowhere near that kind of money. More like hundreds instead of thousands. Local stations would buy a package of a certain number of episodes (not necessarily the whole series) and a certain number of plays. So a single episode might be played more than once. I did this for 3 years at a local TV station. Once played the episode would be shipped to the next TV station in line to play it (if any) or returned to the distributor.
An outfit like TV Land which I suppose sells it's package to a cable co. probably has a different deal since they have dozens of different old series. I doubt they would miss one series that much while doing their dumb PC thing. But if Warner Bros. withdrew it from syndication nobody would be able to run it.
Before cable and satellite got into it only a few TV stations were re-running DOH. If there ever was a complaint about it I never heard it.
I'm no fan of the stars and bars (I've commented elsewhere) but context is everything. If it was a show about two klan members, that's one thing...
When I was a kid, I used to sit there and think that my Grandmother should marry Uncle Jesse. Just sayin....
