To mark the New Year, TV Land has made some recent prize acquisitions to refresh its already entertaining lineup. Debuting in January will be the William Shatner-led Boston Legal. BL wrapped up its five year-run this past year. Also hitting the schedule in January will be Tim Allen's Home Improvement.
Rounding out the acquired broadcast rights for 2010 are Everybody Loves Raymond (Spring debut) and The Nanny (Fall schedule). With these shows getting prime-time slots, TV Land should give picky viewers a great variety from which to choose.

Lynchburg Media Outlets
Considering the economic turbulence the country has experienced this past decade, our area is fortunate to have four television network affiliates from which to receive local news and programming. The NBC and CBS affils from my hometown have recently consolidated and broadcast out of one building, with minimal staffing for the entire operation.
While you may have your favorite news, weather, or sports person, imagine not being able to choose which local station you watch. This area is should be grateful that, despite cuts across the board, all four affiliates seem strong and moving forward.

USA Network Makes Mark
If you are a USA Network fan like I am, listen up - BIG changes for the 2010 season. The cable station's staple shows will now be spread out across the week instead of stacked on specific nights. 2009's breakthrough show White Collar will air Tuesdays, with Psych airing Wednesdays and Burn Notice on Thursdays - each show in the 10pm time slot. Fridays won't seem the same with the series finale of Monk airing a few weeks ago.
This concept defies the "Must See Thursdays" pitch NBC began with the 1984-85 season, and may be an attack on NBC itself, which has seen viewers shy away from The Jay Leno Show in the same time period. Kudos to USA for trying to gain viewership on multiple nights with stellar shows.
