In a way, TV Land was actually a step back for getting classic shows out there. I latched onto these shows back when Nick at Nite was still a thing. I mean, staying up late to watch shows on Nickelodeon was great! When TV Land came around, it was seen as the "old people's station" so it sort of had its niche audience and was less likely to draw in more people. The lessened exposure meant the shows did not stay in pop culture consciousness. I mean, even TV Land is producing new sitcoms now to draw people to their station and most of those shows star someone famous from the 80's/90's.
Very, very true and I am also someone who grew up with Nick-At-Nite and that's how I grew up with a lot of these shows. I guess younger kids didn't get classic shows passed onto them like 90s kids did. Go figure. At any rate, if they're dumping Lucy, shouldn't they aim to do something besides yet another store that will likely be empty most of the time?
