TV Land Picks Up Reality Trio for 2009

Nov 13, 2008  •  Post A Comment

TV Land has added three new series to its TV Land Prime 2009 lineup, which caters to viewers in their 40s.
The half-hour reality show “How’d You Get So Rich?” will feature Joan Rivers searching the country to find out how people earned their riches.
Six episodes of the series from producer Mark Burnett and Zoo Productions have been ordered.
TV Land also has picked up six episodes of Granada America Entertainment’s “First Love, Second Chance,” which gives long-lost sweethearts a chance to rekindle their romance, and hidden-camera show “Make My Day.”
The half-hour “Day” is produced by Embassy Row, Monkey Kingdom and Sony Pictures Television.
“We are thrilled to work with some of the most influential television producers in the business to bring these new dynamic original series to TV Land Prime,” Larry W. Jones, president of TV Land, said in a statement. “From romance reignited and carefully planned coincidences to riches revealed, we are sure that these shows will resonate with our audience.”

  1. TVLand sucks!!!!

  2. I hope Time Warner drops you jack asses and adds some other network, who is this guy listen to? Love the new paid programs too!

  3. I know they think they are catering to a younger , hipper demographic, but wasn’t that the whole point of TV Land? classic television? Now “I Love Lucy” is gone !!!! they are showing movies , 2 year old television series, and idiotic “new shows” Farewell, TV Land !! its been good ….

  4. TV Land had better go back to classic programming or it WILL be dropped due to low viewer ratings.
    I know that if there was a all-classic programming channel, it would have really high ratings.
    Gone are the days of I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, Bewitched, Car 54, The Odd Couple, etc.
    I just buy dvd’s now and watch what I wish TV Land had on it.
    Their programming really tanks. Their reality shows are WORSE than their paid infomercials.
    Geez, get a clue, losers.

  5. There are other channels now providing better classics. I just recently got FIOS and they have a channel called AmericanLife TV that has Mary Tyler Moore Show, both Newhart and the Bob Newhart Show, Honeymooners, WKRP in Cincy, Lost in Space, Batman, Green Hornet, LA Law, and it goes on and on….
    Maybe people can band together to get that channel offered on cable and satellite.
    TVLand really bites now. I think if everyone just refused to watch their “original” programming they would have to go back to things people tune into watch them for. As soon as it is any show that is not a classic, I immediately change the channel.

  6. The TV Land producers don’t seem as though they are listening to their viewers or former viewers when it comes to what people want to watch.
    Cosby Show, Third Rock from the Sun and other 80’s and 90’s shows are not, in my opinion, classic shows.
    The reality shows may be free or at a low cost to TV Land, but they are not interesting and they give TV Land a very bad image.
    Gunsmoke and Bonanza are too old as well as Hogan’s Heroes, and they get old fast. That also goes for The Jeffersons and The Andy Griffith Show. I only like the episodes of Good Times with John Amos and Ester Rolle in them.
    If TV Land put some money out and picked up I Love Lucy, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, The Odd Couple, All in the Family, Happy Days and other 70’s and earlier comic shows, I think that their ratings would truly skyrocket. This is the only way that loyal viewers will return.

  7. Larry Jones is so full of crap. He doesn’t care at all about what the viewers want. All he cares about is money. Thats why he airs all the cheap reality shows and all the reruns of the few classics shows left because he is to chaep to put money into more shows and higher quality programming. Hey TV Land, we dont need you! You need us and you don’t have me anymore. I canceled my cable 5 months ago and now buy what I want to watch on DVD. I now get to watch what I want uncut, commercial free, no emblems at the bottonm corner of the screen and no annoying promos. Buying DVDs is a one time purchase. I don’t have to pay another high cable bill next month to watch the same reruns I watched this month.

  8. It’s absolutely necessary that you start your tax return by going through IRS’s Free File website. If you go to a company’s website directly, your tax return might not qualify for the Free File Program and therefore you might be charged a fee for preparation and electronic filing.
