Actually I just noticed the Dukes has been pulled for awhile replaced by two more episodes of Bonanza, which I watch along with Gunsmoke.

But not for long. As I posted on another thread TVland is changing it’s entire format and demo.

TV Land had , at one time, a great lineup of TV dramas and such that they ditched and I haven’t watched them in years.

Same with the A&E Channel. When they first started they had a great lineup of British TV shows and other things that made them stand out. I rarely even watch them any longer as they have become irrelevant with their programming.

Still have ME TV and a couple of others that cater to older TV shows.

MeTV is the way to go. It is over-the-air and shows the kinds of TV shows that were TV Land’s bread and butter.

This is from the TV Land website announcement of their program changes:

“The majority of our audience in prime time and weekends are now Gen Xers — vibrant, working adults who grew up on MTV and edgier shows. They demand and deserve a brand that is more connected to where they are today. They are layered and complicated, and their idea of escape is to lean in and go deep. We are a new TV Land for this new audience.”

In other words, they are saying that all the rest of us non-Gen Xers are a bunch of ignorant old farts who no longer count. Maybe we should just go out and shoot ourselves.

The Dukes of Hazzard was remade into a movie in 1995 by Warner Brothers.
Check out this scene..
