Amongst returning series Three's Company, Gillifan's Island and Night Heat, Dejaview will add two old favorites.

M*A*S*H
(30 min; comedy Daily at 2 p.m., 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. ET) Premieres Sept 11th
Single-camera sitcoms are all the rage today, but let's remember: M*A*S*H* remains the genre's gold standard. One of the most acclaimed series in history, this classic examines the lives of a mobile army surgical team stuck in the middle of the Korean War, with the challenges of saving lives underscores the battle to save their sanity. Packed with comedy and pathos, M*A*S* H* is television's medical marvel, a classic that remains immensly popular decades after its original run.

CAST: Alan Alda, Mike Farrell, Loretta Swit, Harry Morgan, Wayne Rogers, McLean Stevenson

ALL IN THE FAMILY
(30 min; comedy Daily at 2:30 p.m., 8:30 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. Also: Saturday/Sunday at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. ET) Premieres Sept 11th

Creator Norman Lear's opus set the precedent for meaningful TV comedy on television. Archie Bunker's living room is his soapbox, where he sermonizes about the ills of America, and his debates with lovably loopy wife, Edith, liberal-thinking daughter, Gloria and left-leaning son-in-law, Mike make for brilliant comedy and stellar social commentary. In an era where the creativity of half-hour laffers seems stifled, the classic sitcom that first dared to tackle the taboo seems as topical, relevant and popular as ever.

CAST: Carroll O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner, Sally Struthers
