Sound like a solid scheduale. And yes, Disney still owns The Muppet Show as they just released Season 3 on DVD.

Just edited my schedule to give a name for program blocks an to flesh out some of the programming..

By the way, is there a specific cut-off date for what's considered "classic"? I noticed that the eprson who started this thread lsited Seinfeild, which began in 1990.

For my saturday schedule, I would pretty much have the 11PM-8AM schedule be the same. Due to the land of make believe segments from Mister Roger's Neighborhood continuing throughout the week, I would start the weekend shows at the series beginning and continuing over weekends, not throughout the week (I had also cosnidered putting in The Mickey Mouse Club as a weekday-only show because of the show's serials being like this). But from 8AM-11AM I'd include a classic cartoon marathon, usually grouped by either company or character. I'd put in a special four-hour marathon from 11AM-4PM, consisting of a different televison program. At 5PM I'd put in Fractured Flickers, at 5:30PM I'd broadcast The Electric Company, at 6PM I'd broadcast Sesame Street, at 7PM The Muppet Show, at 7:30PM Rocky and Bullwinkle, at 8PM The Alvin Show, at 8:30PM Happy Days, at 9PM SCTV (either three half-hour episodes, a 90-minute episode, or a 45-minute episode followed by a 30-minute episode, and at 10:30PM a repeat of Fractured Flickers (and occassionally Jay Ward's unsold pilots "The Watts Gnu Show" and "The Nut House").

The sunday schedule would be similar, but instead of marathons, I'd have a variety of specials and movies shown.
