I hate to come with the bear of some bad news but it is with great sadness and complete utter to those die-hard fans out there.......

That the American Life TV Network has cancelled there entire Thursday night line-up of Westerns that went into effect as of September 1st of this year.
The shows that have been cancelled are basically the cream of the crop of the Warner Brothers produced westerns from the 1950's and 1960's which includes the cancelling of "Bronco","Sugarfoot","Cheyenne",and of course "Maverick". Not to mention they had also stop airing David Carradine's classic 1970's western series "Kung-Fu". All have been cancelled by the American Life TV network.

I really don't know if they will bring back "Maverick" since it was one of my favorites too along with "Cheyenne",and "Bronco". However,they did kept one of the W-B produced shows "Lawman" as part of the network's Sunday afternoon lineup.

They have replaced these classic shows with a new schedule that went into effect as of September 1st. The American Life TV network has replaced their Thursday night lineup of Westerns with episodes of "The Time Tunnel",
"Land Of The Giants","Lost In Space",and "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea".

At least fans of Maverick can still see Brent Maverick on "Time Tunnel."

Wow, I wish they'd at least mixed it up. I didn't like any of those shows even when they were new, except "Lost in Space," and I have no desire to see it now. Besides, those shows -- being in color -- were all syndicated longer, and have been re-shown more recently.
