Given that it's AO(Hel)L-Time Warner, common sense should tell you TPIR is not part of the package.  However, some possibilities include Love Connection, Trump Card, and Dream House.  I don't remember when the last two aired on TV.

Warners doesn't own "Dream House"--King World owns it (Westinghouse acquired CBS, CBS acquired KW).  I think you're thinking of "Fun House."

To be honest, I suspect that of the shows you mentioned above, "Love Connection" is more likely to be included in this scheme--and that "The Bachelor" or "ElimiDATE" is even more likely (particularly if it was an "uncensored" outtakes package of either show).

And in all fairness, the "AOL" name was dropped from Time Warner not all that long ago and that division is more and more treated as the poor cousin of the corporation, as all involved now realize that it was an acquisition that should never have happened.

Doesn't Paramount currently own the rights to The Fugitive?

This is the 2000 version, not the original version, if I'm remembering correctly.  (The '00 Fugitive IS Warner, dunno about the original)

This maybe a good sign for The People's Court with Judge Wapner but not for The $1,000,000 Chance of A Lifetime.

Yes. The original Fugitive is a Worldvision show that's licensed by Paramount.

Notice the stills - these are more than just the launch titles, and one IS Love Connection.  There was also a still from one of the less recognizable dating shows, but damned if *I* know what it is - aside from LC/DG/NG, they pretty much all look the same to me.

Hmmm... the New York Times article includes a screenshot of the original Fugitive. But there's an outside chance the New York Times could be wrong about something. ;)

F Troop! Cool! Hey, one out of 30 ain't bad! We'll get to hear William Lava's great score again.

If AOL is doing the streaming, each episode of F Troop will last a day and a half.

Hey now, with broadband connections streamed from AOL, it only takes a day and a third! :)

One thing worth noting, Time Warner has made it clear these shows will NOT be on any other medium, so don't bet on Love Connection being there unless GSN dumps it soon.

If its in syndication, you won't see it on In2TV

Oh, right...totally forgot about the remake, probably because it never really got off the ground.

However, according to the ads, if you're dissatisfied with the service, you can march right into an AOL board meeting, jump up on the table, and tell them.
