Has TV LAND stopped showing TOS?

I was just checking at zap2it to see what the start time was this weekend for my local station's run of TOSR, and only that station's listings for the show came up. Nothing about any TV LAND showings, which normally are displayed along with those for my local station.

Anyone heard if the cable channel has yanked the show?
 
Yes they were being aired early in the mornings, I used to watch it getting ready for work, but haven't seen them on lately. Seems Like MASH has replaced it.
 
Looks like TV LAND has stopped airing it for now. Dunno why. There was no announcement they were changing the schedule to omit it. Oh well. I still get two Remastered episodes per weekend on my local Fox and CW affiliates and that's good enough for right now. If I want to see classic TOS I can watch a DVD.
 
It's been showing on Thursdays at 6am, as opposed to every weekday at that time.

Not now, apparently. At least not for the next two weeks.

EDIT:
Correction. The listings now show the following, but only the following-

Plato's Stepchildren
Rulers of a culture modeled after Plato's "Republic" kidnap Kirk, Spock and McCoy; guests Barbara Babcock, Michael Dunn.

Ohhh-hh...bitter dregs. :p
 
When Dr. Loveless is the one thing keeping you from being a Lazarus or Spock's Brain-level dud, that doesn't say that much.

Me too it used to be great getting ready for work and having that on in the background as I got dressed and ate breakfast!
 
I checked the 6am slot a few days ago and they were playing infomercials. M*A*S*H* has been running at 7am (unless they changed it).

Now, I don't have anything to watch while I get ready for work in the morning. Well, it's between Angel and Better Mornings, Atlanta. At least BM,A has a hot weather girl.
 
Yeah, I was a little bummed to see that it had stopped showing up on my DVR. But between that and the remastered/HD airings, I'm cool.
 
Gotta run more M.A.S.H. since we don't to get to see that enough. :rolleyes:

That show fucking sucked after the plane went down.

Once Blake and Trapper John left, you're right. The B.J. Hunnicut and Col. Potter years were pretty inferior...and an overly preachy and sensitive Alan Alda taking over so much of the producing and directing work didn't help.
 
I don't mind NIGHT COURT reruns at the crack of dawn...that show was hilarious much of the time. Still is. But I wish TOS were still a regular, reliable part of the channel's lineup seeing all the genuine crap it runs.
