Take Me FROM TV Land

Yes, I more or less gave up on TV Land months ago, but I can't help but call them out every now and then for continuing to plunge into unwatchability.

Case in point: TV Land's primetime schedule this week. This could well be a new low for a channel that hits new lows several times a year.

Monday through Friday: Each night at 8pm, it's more of that "Movie Land" gimmick, in which the network originally dedicated to classic television shows a different overplayed recent theatrical movie--in butchered, non-letterboxed form, of course.

Saturday and Sunday: At 9pm each night this coming weekend, the channel turns over its lineup to its newest acquisition. That's right, folks, TV Land proudly presents two marathons of "Just Shoot Me."

There is one good thing about TV Land's irrelevance: It gives those of us lucky enough to have access to American Life TV more time to watch the decent shows that they run.
