    Don Knotts leaving The Andy Griffith Show wasn't really anyone's fault, except maybe Andy Griffith's. Sometime when the show began Don Knotts heard that Andy wanted the show to only last five seasons, so when the fifth season began he assumed it would end and he'd need a job, so he made a deal...

    When Bewitched was first on the channel, they only showed the black-and-white episodes. In Nick at Nite's Classic TV Companion, it was said that they showed the black-and-white episodes because most stations had started with the color episodes. The books point out "you don't start reading Moby...

    I was looking at the guide at Muppet Wiki, and saw it listed as "I Am Proud of Me", and wondered if it was a different performance of the song or a completely different song. Seems weird that they'd have Grover sing two songs with similar titles. And looking at the guide for that episode...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Here's an entry on Muppet Babies: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/04/13/4131984/ It confirms something I had suspected for years: That the show was planned before The Muppets Take Manhattan came out, instead of comming out after the popularity of the Muppet Babies scene which I think...

    I thougth Two and a Half Men was a little better with Ashton Kutcher, though I haven't watched the show much this year. But I feel that show should have ended years ago, and am surprised they didn't cancel it with the lack of Charlie Sheen. Though I'm also surprised they continued That '70s Show...

    I'm having a little trouble following this line... From the looks of it it sounds like he was given his first script right before making a speech, but you said the speech was supposed to end the season, implying that it was when the season was about to end, which would have been after several...

    One thing that's interesting about Nick at Nite is that back in 1995, when The Brady Bunch Movie came out, the channel had a week-long Brady Bunch marathon, featuring The Brady Bunch and most of it's follow-ups. This was the first time I'd heard of The Brady Bunch Hour, The Brady Kids, and the...

    Little things we've noticed

    On a Muppet Wiki talk page it was said that Dave Goelz didn't perform the Chef there. That user said it was confirmed by either Goelz or Barretta. And since the Chef was off-screen when he spoke that line, there wouldn't have really been a need for somebody else to perform him there.

    I read that the real reason he left the show was because he wanted to marry his girlfriend who lived in California and she didn't want him spending half the year away from her in New York. And I read that the marriage didn't last long, either.

    Is it just me, or does the theme heard at the beginning of Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff (and possibly other compilation videos) sound like the closing theme from the Kaye Ballard episode?

    I just remembered something that came to the channel later which I'm not sure whether it counts. It sort of premiered with a marathon, and sort of didn't. But in 1997, The Monkees was added to the line-up as part of Block Party Summers, on mondays as "Monkees Mondays". Interestingly, I don't...

    Note that I never said that a pre-Clash Elmo appeared in any of the season 15 episodes, I was merely hoping he'd be in some of those episodes. In episode 406 there's a cartoon about the number 20 that's shown in english and then suddenly repeated in spanish. I think there's another episode...

    What do you mean by "Chevy Chase Mediocre Sitcom tirade"? I don't think he's ever been on a sitcom. But I agree that it seems all original TV Land programming seems to feature former sitcom stars. Wasn't that the plot of Golden Girls? Though I don't hate Betty White, I find her recent...

    I wonder what the first show was to be given its own week-long marathon when it premiered. And I can't remember what the last was, but I think it was The Munsters, which premiered on the channel during the 10th anniversary week in 1995. It is interesting, because I don't recall seeing any promos...

    I hope it's one with either Dr. Nobel Price or Don Music. But we'll just have to wait until somebody downloads and reports. And I wonder which interview with The Three Little Pigs it is. Given the season I'd say either the one with The Count or the straw house. And here's hoping that Sam the...

    I sort of felt that way when Newhart and The Wonder Years were added to teh channel, especially The Wonder Years (it wasn't THAT old back in 1997). I made a mistake earlier... That TV Land book was called TV Land To Go, not On The Go.
