All In the Family, M*A*S*HThe Mary Tyler Moore ShowThe Bob Newhart Show, and The Carol Burnett Show will air every Saturday night, starting Saturday, Jan. 4 2025!

Known to some as “the greatest TV lineup ever,” these half-hour comedies aired together each Saturday night on CBS in 1973-4 — and earned a combined 12 Emmy wins and 29 nominations that year.
