Anyone notice the new look and programming changes at American Life TV?
Most of my favorite shows are moved or gone. :mad:

I think I'll be watching a lot less of it.
 
Yes as of June 1st ALTV now ALN has changed there look and shows. Im not happy with there new lineup. Robert A. Schuller has bought them.

Read about it here:

AmericanLife TV
 
Many of my favorites are now gone:
Green Hornet
Batman
Land of the Giants
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Time Tunnel

The new logo reminds me of the cheesy old ASN logo.
 
Went to their website; it looks like they're showing Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere & the two Bob Newhart series. I loved all these shows!!!

I wish ALN was still TFTA...
 
I presume they have to purchase 'rights' of some sort to broadcast them. Perhaps that wasnt part of the sale, or the new owner decided to refresh the lineup and archive the existing shows to be recycled later.
Just flipped back to W5 and Mission Impossible is on.......not a bad thing. Maybe it was in the previous lineup, I just never caught it.
Didnt everyone want to be cool like Peter Graves? He was like a real live Race Bannon.
 
Programs "Newhart", "St.Elsewhere" and "Mission Impossible" still remain in different time slots.

I'll miss "Rat Patrol", "12 O-clock High", "Remington Steele" and the Irwin Allen shows. I was hoping for the return of "The Man From Uncle" series they took off in 2007.

I never understood the daisy logo screen bug they went to that was previously a star. So far, they haven't put a one in it's place since the changeover. The commercials used to state "for baby boomers and their kids".
 
Can't believe nobody mentioned missing the old campy favorite "Lost in Space" which is now also gone from the lineup (unless I missed it.) Grew up on that as a kid.....had to see it on local independent TV stations back in the early 70's! It was fun to watch in adulthood realizing how bad (but harmless) it was!
Maybe HULU on the web that offers it will have an interface with the ROKU box that does Netflix and Amazon soon. (Sorry guys, I know its not satellite, but that little box it IS very cool!!)
 
Only things left that I can see are:

Bob Newhart
Newhart
La Law
Hill Street Blues
St Elsewhere
Mission Impossible
The Color Honeymooners

Everything else is Poof GONE!
 
...Can't believe nobody mentioned missing the old campy favorite "Lost in Space" which is now also gone ....

"Lost In Space" is at the top of my list for the Irwin Allen, former Thursday evening lineup. I hoped it would stay on long enough to air all 3 seasons. I grew up watching it myself. Unlike the Sci-Fi channel that aired them years ago in the morning, ALTV put them on in prime time where I could enjoy them.


"Voyage To The Bottom of the Sea" didn't get all of them either. They kept switching back and reshowing the first seasons again. The "Time Tunnel" and "Land of the Giants" had fewer episodes and got them all aired.
