"In these last few years, I've been blown away again and again by how much people still love these classic shows. They just can't seem to get enough. That's why we decided to bring them all together in a FAST channel and call it 80's Sitcom Flashback," said Mr. Taffner. "It's a place for audiences to go when they want to just lean back, binge away, and laugh their heads off. These series have a sensibility that people really get hooked on. And with this amazing roster of brilliant stars – we can't wait to introduce a whole new generation to their comedic genius."

Program highlights:

• "Three's Company": Starring John Ritter, Suzanne Somers, Joyce DeWitt, Norman Fell, Audra Lindley, Richard Kline, and Don Knotts. Jack, Janet, and Chrissy are three single roommates living together platonically in a Santa Monica apartment. Ritter's brilliant physical comedy punctuates the running gag that super-straight Jack has to pretend to be gay for the benefit of their landlord Mr. Roper and his love-starved wife.
• "The Ropers": Starring Norman Fell, Audra Lindley, Jeffrey Tambor. In this Three's Company spin-off, landlords Helen and Stanley Roper have sold their building and moved to Cheviot Hills. While Helen scrambles to climb the social ladder, cold fish Stanley undermines her dreams at every turn. In recent years, Mrs. Roper has become an object of fan adoration, spawning "Ropers Romp" parties across the U.S.
• "Three's A Crowd": In this spin-off of Three's Company starring John Ritter, Mary Cadorette, and Robert Mandan, free spirit Jack Tripper has opened his own restaurant and actually proposes to girlfriend Vicky. But she is in no hurry to tie the knot and instead invites him to move in – much to the consternation of her wealthy parents.
• "Too Close for Comfort": Starring Ted Knight, Jim J. Bullock, Nancy Dussault, Lydia Cornell, Deborah Van Valkenburgh. In swinging San Francisco, an uptight cartoonist scrambles to control his two freewheeling daughters, who live in the apartment downstairs. Meanwhile, he is constantly bumping heads with their flakey but loveable friend, Monroe Ficus.
• "Check It Out!": Starring Don Adams, Dinah Christie, Jeff Pustil, Gordon Clapp. Adams displays his comic genius as the harried manager trying to impose sanity on a supermarket staffed by a bumbling cast of oddballs and misfits.
