Home Improvement, George Lopez and America's Funniest Home Videos added to Nick at Nite

by Adam Finley, posted Mar 9th 2007 2:01PM

george lopezI grew up on a farm, so I could only watch cable when visiting friends in town, at least until I was in high school and my family got a satellite dish. This was in the '90s, and one of our favorite channels to watch as a family was Nick at Nite: we'd watch The Donna Reed Show, The Patty Duke Show and Mr. Ed. You know, classic TV.

Fast forward to today and you have shows like Home Improvement, George Lopez and Saget-era America's Funniest Home Videos slated to appear on the cable channel, none of which feel especially "classic" to me. And George Lopez is still on, for the love of God.

I can understand, though. When Nick at Nite first launched it was probably a lot easier to fill the lineup with those pre-cable shows, all of which had a quaint and timeless quality to them. These days, there are so many more choices that it's not quite as easy to define what constitutes "classic" and what doesn't. I'm fairly certain George Lopez doesn't fall into that category, though.

America's Funniest Home Videos joins Nick at Nite on April 30, and George Lopez will debut sometime this fall.

this is an outrage. i grew up on the 'classic' nick and loved it. i was willing to bend for shows like taxi and cheers. but now it's over.

but this allows them to create another channel (probably for digital tiers): Nick at Night CLASSIC which will show the older B&W shows.

you really have to think like a network exec, people.

I think they should make a rule saying that only shows that have been off the air for at least 15-20 years should be shown.

I always thought Home Improvement would be perfect on Nick At Nite, but I just figured it'd never show assuming Disney would keep it for The Disney Channel. Glad to hear it's going to be a Nick regular.
